Today me and a friend went to an event. It was really crowded there so we were just running around just going to various seminars and stuff.
Suddenly a girl stops me and goes "Hey man how are you ! Long time no see!" with a lot of excitement in her voice, as if she was genuinely happy to run into me there.
But to my horror, I had no idea who she was - clearly it was someone I know, and I remember her face from somewhere, but I had no idea from where.
"Hey, youuu! Long time no see haha" I went, trying to sound as confident as possible.
She started talking to me about the event and I was also making small talk but my mind was racing - where do I know her from? If I remember her name, I'll remeber who she is. what is her name? What is the least obvious way to find her name?
Then suddenly it hit me - my friend wasn't engaging with her. I knew my friend from high school. So chances are, I know this woman either from my work or college. So why don't I introduce my friend? That way hopefully she'll introduce herself to my friend and I'll know her name!
Brilliant right?
So in the midst of the conversation I went "By the way, This is my friend Aaron!". Aaron also raised his hand in an akward "hi" way.
The womans face went blank. She uttered in confusion - "I know who Aaron is. All of us were in the same class during HS."
Now there were only twenty students in my class during high school. So we all knew eachother really well. But somehow this person slipped both of our minds. I just crushed her soul. She was really excited to see me and I didn't even recognise her. I feel like I crushed her soul then and there. I feel so bad. Usually I'm at recieving end of this, so I never thought I'll be thaat guy.
If you are reading this S, I'm sorry I'm an idiot. Actually I'm sorry that both me and A are idiots.
TL;DR : Met a girl who I didn't recognise but recognised me, acted like I did recognise her, introduced a guy I knew in HS to her only to find out that she was from my HS.
