Chapter: Comic
I’ll occasionally run into someone I haven’t seen in a long time. I’m never see the other person first. They always recognize me and I have no idea who they are. Apparently I’m not good at faking it because one of the first things they say is “Oh, you don’t remember me do you?”

I always get that vague sense that I know someone but I can never remember where I know them from, or what their name is, or in one case, what their gender is >_>
I greet random people like I knew them from a long time ago. The funny part for me is I have a bit of prosopagnosia and I might actually know the person.
His stick legs are showing! Somebody call the police! Somebody call Spider-Mumble!
i feel the same pain – i was 25 when i went back to college, and i was a TA for several freshman courses (with 150+ students in each). it’s been about a decade and i still bump into people who remember me, but to me they were one of several hundred whose names i never ever knew. still, they all seem to expect that i’d remember them and are always put off by my failed efforts at recollection, “oh right, you were in Intro to Programming, right”?; “No, I was your girlfriend”.; “Oh… right…”.
The reverse happened to me the other day – I had someone who taught at my elementary school recognize me, and I had no idea who this person was (it wasn’t even my main teacher – it was someone who taught in the special needs class, where I volunteered occasionally).
Ok, I’m really getting a theme this week… no pants
But in a world where running around pants-less is the norm, wouldn’t WEARING pants be considered obscene?
…I was joking about everyone being naked a few strips ago.
