You're walking down a flight of stairs as a group of girls comes up. One comments, "I like your shoes" as she passes you. The shoes you're wearing are not spectacular, though they have been poisitively remarked on before. Is she talking to you or one of her friends? Was that eye contact or a mere glance? How would she feel if she directed the compliment to you and you failed to acknowledge it? Which is worse- claiming an unjustified compliment or ignoring an intended one? You need to process these thoughts and decide on a plan of action before descending one more step. You manage, "Thanks!" in as non-committal a tone as possible.
Bzzzzz. Wrong answer. You hear "She wasn't talking to you!" as you traipse down the hallway.
