Person 1: Hey what took you so long to get to class?
Person 2: I ended up mirror-stepping James. I went right first, but he went the same direction. It happened a few times. Finally I just stood still and let him walk by.
Person 1: I hate it when that happens.

Mirrorstepping 

When you almost bump into someone, but move out of the way, but then they move the same way too, so you both move the other way, etc.
Dude, quit mirrorstepping everyone.’
