And now, another exciting episode of America's favorite reality show, "I Hate When That Happens"

[Miles Archer]

So I'm standing in line at the bank today.

A woman is at the teller's window and looks over in my direction, smiling and waving.

I immediately turned around to see who she was smiling and waving at.

When I turned back around she said, clearly a little surprised and disappointed, "You don't recognize me. I work at (local bar)."

I took another look and realized she was wearing minimal makeup (if any at all), she had her hair pinned up on top of her head (instead of down around her shoulders) and instead of her black cutoffs, black jacket and boots, she as wearing denim cutoffs, a blouse, and flip-flops.

THEN I recognized her.

When she finished her business at the window I apologized profusely, saying that I did in fact not recognize her.

I hate when that happens.

1. Well, she definitely likes you

At least it wasn't all hiding and covering her face like 'Oh, I hope s/he doesn't recognize me!'

2. You never know...

...she's friendly when I go in but that's the way a bartender has to be with every customer. Yesterday she could have just conducted her business at the window and left. She was waving and smiling. I don't wave and smile at people I don;t like.

3. I thought you were talking about the teller until I got to the denim cutoffs and flip-flops.

4. try going to the bank drunk next time.

sobriety may have been the problem.

5. You may be onto something there...

...and what do I have to lose?

[magical thyme]

6. at least you finally figured out who she was...

I never do. I just live in a perpetual state of oblivion. It's sad and scary sometimes...also mega embarrassing!

7. Bar visits ought not be publicly announced unless by the bar customer! IMO!
