What things should we have a word for but don’t ?

Although, those clever Germans probably do, here’s a few examples I made up:

Stobenshy- A word for that embarrassing moment when you chat to someone you’ve bumped into, then say good bye, but both walk off in the same direction.

Gleicheize - The weird feeling of being introduced to someone with the same first name as you.

Wavepalm - That sunken feeling when someone waves and you wave back, then you realise they were waving to someone just behind you.

Kellnetinblau- That terrible moment when a waitress says ‘Enjoy your meal!’ and you reply ‘And you!’

Liedbesser- That feeling when you hear one of your favourite jams on the radio, but somehow the song sounds even better, even though it’s the same song.

Queuenvy- That feeling when you’ve joined a checkout queue at the supermarket and you watch the other queues go down faster and you don’t know whether to join that queue or stay where you are, because you’re committed to this queue now.

These are all excellent additions to our language, OP. How about when you are following someone through a series of doors and have to thank them every time and it gets super awkward?

I knew I could rely on you to come up with a good example, I shall endeavour to think of a word for that.

This is super European but if you know if you. Basically when you get introduced to somebody and they kiss u on the cheek and you just don’t know which cheek to go for and you both pick the same one and u almost go for a kiss on the lips. And its awkward…

Also I don’t know you and I don’t want you to touch me…

That sounds like a classic case of Kussversehention, very embarrassing at the time.

The awkwardness of asking someone’s name but not quite catching what they said so you ask again and still didn’t catch it but you nod your head and tell them your name instead.

You must now avoid them for eternity because you can’t ask them a third time what their name is.

Classic example of a foodblocker, very similar to

when there’s only one person in the supermarket aisle and they are stood right in front of the one thing you want, like they’ve been planted there just to annoy you.

Hidenshop - when you bump into someone you know in the supermarket, have a little chat and say goodbye, only to keep passing them on your aisle circuts. You start out doing the smile laugh, them a polite nod but by aisle 3/4 you are looking the other way and pretending that you can't see them.
