I went to a lecture at college. Sitting in the second row, I kept looking at one of the speakers wondering where I knew him from. When his name was announced it didn’t ring a bell but I’m terrible with names so I didn’t think much about it except I felt I really did know him WELL.
I don’t even remember what the lecture was about because I was stuck on trying to remember who he was, where I knew him from, what could possibly be the connection.
Lecture over, I’m leaving and he stops me and says, “Excuse me, do I know you?”
Now before you think it was just a pick-up line: his wife was standing there with him. I’m an adult, somewhat chubby, female and he was a short, bespeckled, balding man. This wasn’t a case of physical attraction.
We stood there for 20 minutes going through the things in our lives where we might know each other. Our lives connected NO WHERE except at that moment in time. There was NOTHING the same between us, not where we lived, not churches, not hobbies, not educational histories, NOTHING.
And then we said good-bye, turned reluctantly away from each other, and never saw each other again.
It was truly bizarre.
