So I
got recognized by someone tonight.
It
was weird. When I saw her, she did that thing of like “oh hey!” in that tone
that means she thinks she knows who I am.
She
looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t remember her name, so I just
bullshitted my way through the conversation. At one point she started talking
about classes I know I didn’t take, so I think she has me confused for someone
else. A good person might have mentioned it, but I decided not to embarrass her
in front of her boyfriend, so I kept faking it. We talked grad school, plans,
graduation and stuff. She said good bye and paid with a credit card.
The
moment of truth….never seen her before in my life. I confirmed it by checking
the name on the credit slip. Not someone I know.
She
was totally very nice. Maybe next time she comes in I’ll just ask her to be my
friend.
Challenge
to my Readers:
Sometimes
it’s nice to be recognized. If you don’t recognize them, own up to it early on
and it will be much less awkward.
