Today I went into the mall and bought a few things. Having done this I went for a coffee.
As I was drinking it I noticed a young lady opposite me and after thinking about it recognised her.
Now I have not seen this person for about 5 years and did not know her that well.
Now in the past I would have said hello but I have learned that although I pay attention and remember things other people do not which means the other person does not who the hell they are talking to, making for a strange conversation.
This time however the lady herself said hello and we had a small but interesting conversation about our respective lives.
Now all this brings me to various incidents that have occurred to me over the years and the reason why I always let the other person begin the conversation. I have over time had many conversations with people who claim to have met me. I have no recollection of them at all. Now why is this so odd? Because they talk to me as if they really know me not in a casual manner like the described incident above but say they really know me.
This to say is very odd as these people recollect things I have never done and doing things with people I have never met.
Now after explaining I have never met them. Which on one occasion the person though was impossible. I asked when they saw him/me last and always it has been a period of time of about a year or so etc.
So I have a doppelganger

An array of campfires in the wilderness? We can do better than that surely! We could make a bonfire! We could set the brush alight! A conflagration! With us all dancing naked and singing songs and drinking and whatnot....
Sorry, I've taken that too far.
I get that all the time, but then short fat beardy blokes are a common enough type
I liked the idea of all the campfires in the wilderness
