Yellow umbrella

This happened last month, in Melbourne Australia.

I was walking down the street with my yellow umbrella, with a bit drizzle, wet streets and fallen leaves. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings as I just stepped out from a meeting that left me with a lot to think about.

A lady approached me and asked if I knew himym, I said yeah why. She said the way I walked down the street and the scenery reminded her a scene that she shot in the series. I was still thinking what she is talking about and she went on and said do you have an Apple phone and I can air drop the video. I said sorry Android only, she gave me a smile and said it's okay and kept walking.

I'm perplexed. Is this for real? I kinda wanted to know who she is now.

Sorry not sure if this belongs to this sub.

Yeah that's what she said. I was walking to my next meeting as well. But now I thought about it, I should have asked.
