I feel like I’ve had this experience a million times in my life: I’m biking down the road, or walking along at a brisk pace, and out of the corner of my eye I catch a glimpse of a person I think I know. As I turn back to take another look, a well-positioned telephone pole or lamp post gets in between me and the unknown. And somehow, the geometry and physics of the situation perfectly conspire to always keep the pole between me and the mystery person.

A thorough analysis of the problem would be interesting, taking into consideration the different initial velocities, the different positions, the radius of the pole, different paths, and the like.

I didn’t know you also got hit by an elephant.
But it’s interesting how the speed your traveling and the direction your looking at still blocks your view of the person, considering that he/she is also moving.
The elephant is there to remind you to always keep your eyes on the road.
