That the “not if I see you first” response to saying “see you” is meant to imply the person saying it would hide from you, not that they won the seeing each other competition.

Probably didn’t clock that one until I was in my 30s

I don’t know what to say

This makes no sense! Why would you think there was a ‘seeing competition’?

‘See you on Saturday mate! (Gonna get that sweet sweet seeing point!)

‘Not if I see you first! (No way is he getting that seeing point, that’s got my name all over it!!!)

how do you even know who has won the point? Have you ever ever met up with anyone and they’ve been all ‘psyche! Saw you first loser!!! Winner winner winner winner!’

I am at a loss
