Scrobins | 1,801 Moderator · Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I was walking back to my apartment last night and bumped into a woman in my building who smiled and said “Well hey, I’d know that walk anywhere!” I actually get this a lot but what’s weird is sometimes people follow up with what it is they claim to recognize and it’s never the same! Some people notice a slight limp from an old knee injury, others say I walk with the self-assuredness of an actor or posture of someone who’s ex-military (I’m not), and others say I have some kind of happy-go-lucky gait and I’ll probably jump and click my heels at any time. Has anyone told you that you have some distinctive recognizable feature that you never really thought about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,965 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 For me, it'd be my accent. No matter who it is, when I meet a native English speaker for the first time, they always think I'm from somewhere else than Pennsylvania. Americans think I'm from England, the English think I'm from Ireland, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,531 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I once recognized a guy that used to work for me from the back of his head. (He had appeared in a commercial for a local restaurant and was seated at a table facing away from the camera.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 387 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Apparently my face. Just the other day at Target, a girl cashier recognized me from KINDERGARTEN. She said I looked familiar and I had that "face" and I had no idea who she was. She ended up remembering me after I said what elementary school I went to and knew my name before I said. We played together all the time at recess and sat by each other. I haven't seen her in 25 years since like 2nd grade when she moved. Was shocked for hours after that encounter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez | 3,134 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Quite the contrary I always get told that I look like someone else someone knows. And it's always someone new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to me multiple times while in university, on a night out people would come up to me and start chatting with me, swearing that I was in XYZ class with them a year or two back. Besides not having a clue who they were, the problem always was that I hadn't taken any courses with the professors they claimed to share in common with me.

You should have used them to get the university to give you another degree in whatever program that was! “Im telling you, Dean, I wrote a dissertation on that subject, just ask those people that saw me in class!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
