wow! what are the odds of THAT?

I get that all the time! "You look just like my friend from high school!" (I had no friends), or "Aren't you so and so's sister?"
Frustrates me to no end. Maybe I really DO know these people, and the Alzheimer's setting in...

Maybe he recognized you from your blog.

What! You didn't remember me??? No wonder you were so "generic" in everything you said.

Just kidding. Wasn't me.

Gah! I'm gonna be singing that song all afternoon.

Only I always get the words wrong;

"Who's the blonde stranger
who entered my wife?"

(supposed to be "life" for those of you not as dirty minded as moi)

Oh I hate that "I know I know you but I just don't know how" feeling. I've got that tune stuck in my brain, too. I may have to tune into Radio Margaritaville now that I actually have a new computer at work!

now see... if you had a larger ego, you'd realize that this guy was probably using a clever pick-up line on ya! i think you should feel flattered ...and realize how good-and-not-at-all-like-anyone's-grandma you look today!

(unless the two of you were channeling eugene ionesco... and that guy was really your husband. but that would just be... weird.)

That's funny. But it sounds like you had a nice conversation.

Your mom sounds like a pistol. And pistols are survivors! Her mind is in the right place. That is half the battle sometimes. Chin up.

Geezzs. I was a day or two behind reading you and thought I just posted a comment about your mom. I had the wrong blog post! Overload!! Sorry.

Not only is he blogging it, but I'm pretty sure you're on his blogroll.
Or he was just hitting on you. You didn't get a "What's your number again?" did you?

Dear Diary,

Boy did I pull off a good one today. I walked up to a complete stranger and convinced her that she knew me from somewhere in the past. She was totally confused but just kept on talking as if she actually knew me. hehehe.

Hey hey hey busy mom! Thought of you tonight as I posted my NWOT Coach playing card with travel case auction up on eBay and SHOES SHOES SHOES! LOL

Seriously - I put the link to the auctions on my blog - they are at the end of the HUGE list o' crap!

That only happened to me once, he was old and very sarcastic about me walking though the park. I always walk everywhere!

hahaha!!!!!!!!!

ex-boyfriend? old schoolmate? probably a peripheral work acquaintance.. hopefully not a relative!!!

He's so blogging it!

Happened to my friend: Ran into an acquaintance at Kroger. Chatted it up, remarked how much weight he lost; looked great, blah, blah. Next night, he called. "Wow haven't talked to you in so long, chatted with you at the grocery store last night, and then you call me on the phone today." Silence. Long silence.
That dude at the grocery store is STILL wondering who they heck that woman was.

blond stranger was just totally hot for Busy Mom. only conceivable answer.

LMFAO- i love when that happens! i always just play it off and then walk befuddled into my car and drive off.

I remember faces but seldom names. The fascination behind all this is why do we find it so difficult to say "Excuse me, but I seem to have forgotten your name." Instead we carry on conversing and hoping we'll remember. So I have to ask, if someone doesn't recall a name, is it rude to ask? Why, in general, do we all seem to have a problem with it?

That is excellent! Maybe you were on Candid Camera! I take it Alan Funt didn't appear?

Oh how weird is this. I just did the same thing with someone today. I was sure I knew her, but for the life of me I couldn't remember her name.

That could be! I have had strangers wave at me many times. Maybe we just look like Normal Person USA.
