I thought was an old work colleague driving by and made her stop her car. She thought I was someone who used to work down the road from her. She'd pulled over and we had a two minute conversation about how we both were before I realised I'd never laid eyes on her in my life.

This was about three months ago.

and didn't used to wear my glasses, and it used to happen all the time! I'd wave at someone across the road, go over to talk to them, before getting about 5 ft away and realising that I haven't the foggiest who they are!

Now I wear my specs, it happends less. Actually, can't remember the last time it happened. I want it to happen again, it's a funny but strange experience.

I remember calling my Grandad to wish him a happy birthday...

"Happy birthday Grandad!"

"(laughs) well, thankyou"

"you sound chirpy Grandad!"

"Well I'm just a bit confused"

"Hang on...are you my Grandad"

"Well, I'm a grandad, but I'm not your Grandad"

"Ah I see. Bye then"

EURGH.

I was waving in the window and about to get in. Horrible.

"Oh christ, all the towns rift raff is out tonight eh?"

only to realise I didn't know her and she got quite offended, I walked away ever so quickly...

once ran and jumped on her Dad's back only to discover it was a back-a-like.

I think she was about 15 at the time.

I like that story.

BUT it's because i THINK i know people, when in reality i have just seen them 'about'. a few months ago i spent a good 5 minutes chatting to someone i thought i knew until i realised he was a bus driver (and that's how i knew him!)!

anyway i thought i might bump this thread, because i like it, :)
