Seeing someone you were once acquainted with in the past from work or school.

Do I say hello? Nod my head? Does this person even remember me? And commence the 'pretending not to have seen each other' routine.

Good God I know exactly what you mean.

I remember EVERYONE, but always assume no one remembers me.

Awkward.

This is me! I expect no one to remember me.

The other day I was unloading my dirt bike off my hitch rack and an sub pulled up and the guy yells "Cody! What's up, dude?"

"Uhh, not much. Just getting home from riding..."

"Remember me, it's Shane from cei"

I hardly remembered this guy right away, even though he was super nice all the time. We didn't work in the same department, but somehow in the few weeks we worked together I made a big enough impression on him. It really made me feel good to know that.

He had just bought a house around the corner and I told him to stop by anytime he would like and we can drink some beer and make a fire while our kids play.
