It has happened a thousand times before and I can bet you it will happen a million more. That moment when you’re out at the grocery store, the dentist, or hair salon and you see someone you know – er – met a few times. Do you say hello? Do you wave? Do you pretend like you just got a text that deserves all of your attention?

This made me think about all the life formulas I wish existed. For example:

- How much time is “too long” to have not spoken to someone?

- How many times can you call or text someone before you are labeled neurotic?

- How many times does someone bail on you before you just stop inviting them?

- How many times can one change their status on Facebook before its obnoxious? 

- How long do you wait at the computer for someone to ping you back?

- How long do you have to stay in a place to have seen it?

- How much do you have to see of a place to say you’ve experienced it?

- How many yoga classes must one take before labeling themselves a yogi?

- How many miles must be run until you are a runner?
