You know, you're walking along and then some randomer on the other side of the road, or someone who you walk past waves at you and shouts your name. And you just think 'do I know you at all?' Things like that are starting to happen far too often for comfort now. Yesterday I walked past a group of girls and one of them tapped me on the shoulder as I did, and said "hi Pooley." I just looked at her and walked off because I have no idea who the hell it was.
 
It's probably because you have a profile picture and many of FFF meber view your profile, they see you and say hi. Though, why won't they introduce themselves or something?

Perhaps your reputation precedes you. :neomon:
 
that happens to me all the time. and apparently I make a really weird face because when I try to BS my way through the conversation they ask me what their name is.
 
People do that to me all the time at school. I'll just be walking down the hall minding my own business, and some random Freshman and Sophomore that I have never met in my life will shout "HI JOSH!" from across the hallway. I'll just nervously say "hi" back, but I don't know their name. I guess they know me because of all of the stuff I do around school, but still it's weird for them to say hi without ever having met me personally. >_>
 
Happens to me too, often at that... I always guess they're just people I've seen once at some party or something, and didn't remember then, but they remembered me, so dont be too worried :D
 
This is probably the wrong time to tell you, but have you ever seen the Truman Show? Yeah. .....Your life is actually just a television program for the rest of us. I really enjoyed last week's episode though :monster:

That sort of thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I joined the women's volleyball team, and during practice, the men's volleyball team walked into the gym. I was standing on the sidelines, and I heard my name coming from where they were sitting several times. I looked over, and they were all staring at me. They laughed and waved. And then I heard them start talking about me (in Japanese though, so God knows what they said...). ....Yeah, I have never introduced myself to any of them. Hell if I know how they know my freakin' name.
 
Whats worse, not knowing them at all? or remembering their face but not their name. so when u can't remember their name, they get all offended and say u dont remember them. the latter happens to me all the time :worried:

I just try to avoid sentences in which I have to use their name...

If they say "Hi Mugs" I just say "Hi there." no names :neomon:

You dick. hahaha
That's good stuff.

Yeah, stuff like that happens to me every so often. I don't have it in me to just walk away from people when I don't recognize them, though. I'll usually pretend like I know 'em...but I won't pretend like I know their name. I got burned trying to do that once. If I don't know your name, I'll admit it.

I recall some random classmate of mine getting offended when I asked for their name. Jesus Christ. I graduated two years ago from a class with close to 1,000 students in it. Gimme a break.

I don't think that many people on FFF are from Carlisle. :wacky:

To be honest, some of the time I half-recognise the voice or something. But with her I had no clue who it was. And I wasn't going to stop and talk to her at all if I don't know her.
 
You ignorant basterd, you should of at least said hi back and smiles a tad before walking off. God sake man :wacky:

But yeah this happens a lot to me too. Mind a lot would be people I meet during very drunken nights out, or people from my town who added me or seen me on Myspace or the like. Recently people have started recognizing me from School as I've changed very little but seeing as they've all gone off to Uni and back and changed abit it takes a while to sink in who they are.
 
Some random woman once started asking me about my mother, and how she was. She knew my mother, but I had no idea who the feck she was. I babbled on anyway =3
 
Hahaha I get that all the time. I totally blame alcohol, I think it was Monday when some car drove past me and my mate and some dude ung out of the window screaming I KNOW YOOOOOU

I hate it when people say hello to me and Im wracking my brains thinking who the feck are you....then it normally comes to me an hour later and I think oh shit....

It happens ALOT to me and Katie tho, it's quite embarrassing at times, we just put our heads down and run away :wacky:
 
Yeah it's happened to me before, but usually in the Philippines when I'm home on vacation. People would wave at me, then tell their friends, "Oh, that's Marissa's daughter!" I don't know them but they know a few things about me, it seems. But that's understandable considering it's a very small town province and everyone pretty much knew everyone's business. It's just a little disconcerting knowing that people I have never seen before knows about my existence.
 
This occasionally happens to me, usually by older people though. It then turns out that they used to know my parents back when I was a baby, and haven't seen me since I was 'this big!!' etc etc. They always seem to comment on how much I have grown since I was 2, very observant of them. I normally just smile and answer when they ask how I'm doing at school, and then leave thinking 'o--kay....'.

Hah, I bet would have done the same. :wacky: I hate when people catch me off guard when I'm walking somewhere, I end up staring at them for a few seconds like 'huh?' until I process what they are saying. o_O
 
HAHA! thats ALWAYS happening to me!
Girls I havn't seen in my life seem to know me, they even know my nickname!
