Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, "I he/she looks just like ....".
Well that is what happened when I was surfing the web and came upon a group picture of the band "CAKE". While most people wouldn’t know him....this looks just like my brother-in-laws brother-in-law.
This happens to me a lot and has led to some embarrassing situations. I was at the Atlanta airport on my way back to Texas for a few days when I saw someone across the terminal that I swore I knew. Well I called out my friends name and for some reason he didn’t look up at me. I figured that it must just be too loud for him to hear me so I decided to walk up to him. Well when I got right next to him I said “Hey John". Well the guy looked up and right away I could tell that he was not my friend John, but it was too late to keep from looking like a complete idiot.
So the moral of this story is: make sure you know the person before you walk up to them.

this must be genetic. Happens to me ALOT. just ask Joseph!
Yeah, I heard about a guy one time who's wife was sorta blind. And when they were on the campus of Texas A&M, er, I mean some campus, she would wave at random people thinking that she knew them.
It is fun to walk up to people you know you don't know and start a conversation with them and make them feel like they are an idiot for not remembering you.
