I used to own an ice cream shop, and every now and then, someone would recognize me in the grocery store, usually a kid, but not always.
It was a little weird, ngl.
“Huh? You know me? Really? Wow I never knew I was that popular. Sorry but I have no clue who you are.”
Not a chance. I’ve gotten so good at not even flinching when I hear my name called and just walk away like they are calling someone else. For me to acknowledge a random idiot they need to catch me really fucking up and come at me straight on but I keep a vigilant eye on any movement and can usually evade their time wasting advances.
I too become an assasin and play 4D chess every time I go outside
It is the way
Oh, hey there ickplant! Funny running into YOU here!
*Explodes into a thousand bats and flies away.
(sigh)…if only…
I wish. Too many people know me. I can’t go hardly anywhere in the lower 48 without running into someone who remembers me. Seemingly always fondly, for some reason.
I just want to be left alone.
Hey its you !!!
I should have expected that, lol.
That’s much less invasive than my interactions in person. Frequently they ask about pets or people that died.
😁
I’m not much for the small talk either. It’s like yeah I saw you over there and I don’t think I’ve seen you since high school, I didn’t much care for you then so why on earth would I want to see how things have been. Leave me alone

Getting over that ingrained fear that people yelling out your name just want to hurt you is difficult.
