Recognized

So do you ever go to some random place where you hope NOT to see ANYONE you know? You usually leave the house looking like shit because AGAIN you're NOT going to see anyone. This my friend is a death wish. I'm almost to the finish line...I'm paying for my groceries when all of a sudden, MICHELE BROWN! I don't even want to look over. I turn to my left and muster up the fake smile as I look at this face that I hardly recognize. She begins to ramble on and still have no idea what her name is. I realize that we went to high school together but I never hung out with her OR talked to her then. While I'm thinking all this in my head while she's talking (blah, blah, blah) she then proceeds to introduce me to her husband who seems to care even less than me (hi, nice to meet you...). The cashier asks me for a form of payment. I use a credit card I'm not so sure will work but hey, I give it a whirl. DECLINED! (Errrr, awkward pause) okay, try this one. It goes through. Why is it I'm always embarrassed in front of just the right people? No real point to this story. Just wondering why people feel the need to yell my full name (as this happens a lot)? Thank god my middle name isn't public knowledge. I would think my mom was yelling at me because it was progress report season!
