Awkward Conversations

There are many classifications for awkward conversations.

1. When the other person knows your name, but you have no idea who they are.

Example: Person walks by you on the street. "Oh, hey, Emily! How's it going?" And you're thinking, "Who in the hanna are you, and how do you know my name??" Usually I just pretend I know who they are. "Hey! How's it going?" and just omit the name part.

2. When you know their name, but they obviously don't remember you.

You say, "Hey, Sarah! How's life?" and they're all "Hey, how are you?" Like they know your name but they just didn't say it and you can just tell they don't remember you. Cause when you know them but they don't know you, then you just feel like a creeper.

3. When they think they know you, but they really don't.

There are a couple examples for this.

Example 1: "Oh my gosh, hey! How's your mom? Is she still in the hospital?" ....Not since my little bro was born? Are you sure you're talking to the right person?

Example 2: The guy who, for a solid month after we met coincidentally at a fireside, thought my name was Katie. Then he helped change my flat tire and his roommate was all, "So what's your name?" And I said "Emily. Oh... You were calling me Katie, and I didn't have the heart to tell you it was Emily... and you were calling me that for like a whole month..." I ran into this guy again. He now calls me Stephanie.

4. When you think they're someone else. There are two examples for this as well.

Example 1: "Oh my gosh, hi Lisa!! How's your brother?" ".... My name is Sarah." .......sorry :\

Example 2: "Oh, hey, while we caught up with you, we're you're visiting teachers!" "Oh, yeah? That's awesome. Wait, what's my name?" "Um, you're Anne, right?" "Bahahaha, no, that's my roommate. I'm Lisa." (true story...)

 5. When both of you know that you know the other person, you just can't for the life of you remember where or who they are, but you KNOW that you know them. And you know that they know it too and you both just pretend you remember who the other person is, or you spend an entire conversation trying to remember where you know that person from.
