hoity toity

It is weird to go to the grocery store here in town which is a block away and see our next door neighbor and we don’t acknowledge one another. It’s like there is this unspoken agreement that we don’t see each other. Ever. It feels awkward and then I don’t know if I should try to make eye contact or say hi or what. Do they hate me? Are they afraid of me? Do they think nothing of me? Do they think I am hoity toity? Ever since I was a kid I’ve been accused of being stuck up when it was really just me being shy and awkward and uncomfortable. So I just briefly smiled at the guy sort of like, “yes, I know we don’t say hi and I’m sorry” they probably think we are narcs.
