....you walked upto a person that you think you know and greet them, then talked and talked. But soon later you realised that they are not actually the one you know? i.e. a total random stranger.
I wasn't drunk or anything...

No, but I have been known to walk up to random strangers and hug them :yes:
Not on purpose either, that would be ok, but by accident, I was also sober at the time :yes:

I hate it when you dial a wrong number and have talked to a stranger for 10 mins before you both realise you dont know each other.Like a long lost friend you never had.

I pulled up outside the gym I used to go to. I'm about to get out of the car when a complete stranger gets in the car and starts chatting to me. I eventually get a word in and she looks at me and starts to scream (in my car).
I suspect this mad woman's ride home drove the same car as me (maybe just the same colour).

I can see how that happens! Ive done that very same thing but no-one was in the drivers seat, Ive also got into the work car in the passenger side sat there a bit and realised i was the one that drove it there. Its just the workings of a creative mind! ha ha.

When life gets a bit boring I have been known to trundle up to some random (rather elderlyish) gentleman in a shopping mall (life gets VERY boring when Mrs Ixion ambushes me and drags me out to shopping mall), and greet him enthusiastically with a "Hi mate. Long time no see. How ARE you, you're looking good. How's your wife ? (best if you've noticed said wife with him earlier). Still troubled with the old complaint ? (could be him or her - elderly people always have a 'complaint'). Look, really really good to see you again, give the good lady my regards, and we MUST get together properly soon, only I really HAVE to dash, frightfully late. Take care, now, gotta go".
Bash on the back and briskly depart, waving vigorously
Done with sufficient vigour and the victium doesn't get a word in edgeways and will spend the rest of the way fretting about who it was that he's forgotten. Alzheimers? OMG.
Well, I have to pass the time SOMEHOW.
A delightful variation is to do as above, THEN corral the victim's wife (having noted beforehand her appearance and where she went), with a "Hi, how ARE you, I just caught up with your other half. Wonderful to see you both again, and looking so WELL. Like I said to him, frantically late , but I COULDN'T rush off without just saying 'hi'. Do give me a bell, don't be strangers, I'll be expecting it. Got to rush, see you soon I hope".
later , they will compare notes. I wish I could be a fly on the wall then.

Out in souf'dorkland where I repose in exile, I often get spoken to in a number of island languages, the person talking to me then gets quite irritated about the fact I am ignoring their felicitations for conversation.
It's only when I click and say "Sorry, I'm a New Zild born china man!" and then they realise, go red (I'm assuming this since the pigmentation of their skin is a little hard to discern such blushing) and then volte-face away! :lol:
And I have often been mistaken for a ninja and people shy away from me, I was at a GIJOE movie screening in my usual ninja garb and people were assuming I was meant to be doing something special for it!
I have also been mistaken for a chinaman at times also!

You don't? I'm stuck for words but something comes to mind...ballsy (spelling!) ball-sey...im sure if such a word exists...checked in the dictionary and 'bally' is there.

I seem to get people who think they know me and I haven't got a clue who they are. I must have one of those faces.

I tend to do this at train stations when I am about to meet someone for the first time. We dont have train stations up here, but maybe next time I am down your way and am at a train station, you will be too :lol:

I was following a Harley the other day down a narrow street with vehicles parked both sides. There was a truck parked up ahead, and the driver walked onto the road to get in and I thought "OMG he's going to swing his door open and hit that bike!" But the front rider honked loudly TOOT TOOT! and gave the truckie a big cheery wave. Truckie waved back and waited for us both to pass before opening his door.
I'm sure the biker didn't know the truckie, but it was a very effective way of getting his attention and much more positive than an angry HONK!
I bet the truckie spent the next few minutes wondering who that guy on the bike was.

Ooops I meant to say I was following a Harley for about two minutes then I got sick of it and overtook him on the twisties like he was standing still! :2guns:

He probably was standing still, it's called 'waiting'.

It's not quite good when it's done after around 10 seconds. It'll makes you look really stupid.
After around 3-5 second is a great time to use the phrase however :msn-wink: That's enough time to check her boob size, face make up and clothing :dodge:

The real rest of the story is that I caught up with him because he slowed down and waited for me to catch up. Then we rode along at walking pace for a while having a chat about what a great day it was for a ride, how much we both love our bikes and how neither of us owns a car any more.
Just to keep this thread on topic, I already knew that I didn't know him... but there's no such thing as strangers, just bikers you haven't chatted up yet! :love:

I suppose your right. When cops 'execute' a warrant they don't usually kill people, they just fuck them over.
So, it must follow that...if you've been executed you're going to walk funny, right?

Nope but unlocked a car with my remote locker and climbed in to someone elses (unlocked) same colour car 3 parking spaces from mine....:shit:

Yes, and I even sat next to him on the bus while yacking. It wasn't till we got off at uni that I realised he wasn't at all who I thought he was (an acquaintance of a friend). He thought it was pretty funny. I ran in embarrassment. (Well I was only 17 and not very worldly for dealing with strange guys who thought I was trying to pick them up...!!!)

I gets bored. 'tain't evil. Gives them something to talk about , enrichens their life experience.
A final nicety , as you rush off , is to say "Give my regards to Keith next time you see him". All old buggers know someone called Keith. This convinces them that you know them, and also brings Keith (whoever the hell he is ) into the loop of mystery.
