The Worst Places in Lubbock To Spot Your Ex

There are certain things you can always count on in Lubbock: The wind will terrorize you, the heat will bake you, and you WILL run into your ex in public at the worst possible moment.

It never happens when you look cute. Never. You'll be in your oldest T-shirt, buying toilet paper, and enough frozen pizza to feed a small army.

Lubbock isn't big enough to disappear in. People think it is, and that's adorable, but just wait. You WILL make eye contact with your ex on the deodorant aisle. It's only a matter of time.

If you're wondering where you might awkwardly come across them next, here are a few solid bets:

The Science Spectrum

The two of you bonded there over butterflies on your second date. Now, you're awkwardly pretending to be fascinated by rock candy in the gift shop.

The Tortilla Area At United

Nothing says, "I've moved on," like them snatching the last bag of your favorite corn tortillas right in front of you.

Target

Walking in for toothpaste. Left with throw pillows, a new back massager, and a whole bunch of emotional damage.

The Airport

You both only fly once a year, and somehow, you've both picked the same day...and destination. Have fun bumping into eachother at the amusement park, too.

It's Going To Happen

But, honestly, after years of careful observation, I've figured out the real answer.

The most Lubbock place to run into your ex is...anywhere.

The stoplight. The grocery store. A kid's birthday party. The dentist's office immediately after losing a cap on your front tooth...and just before they call you back to fix it.

The bright side is that they probably spotted you at the exact same moment and thought, "Oh lord, here we go again..."
