The “why” I was visiting the Dr.’s office is unimportant. What is important is that I forgot to greet all five persons seated in the waiting room. Upon entering such a space, it is expected that one say a greeting reflecting the time of day: ‘Good morning, good afternoon’. As my thoughts were completely swept up in determining which chair was the most socially isolated from the group, I failed my social obligation. No one was amused. When the next person entered and greeted the group, the response chorus of all five was exceptionally loud.
