[quote=Anonymous]So I'm at work one day and this guy follows me back from the elevator and says hi, do you remember me? Now, I teach an engineering class at work that everyone has to take, so often people recognize me, but I don't remember the 30 faces a month that I meet.

I'm at a loss, and he says "from school". So now I'm thinking who do I remember from college (same town as engineering company). Still draw a blank. He then tells me his name and he and I rode the same bus in 5th grade!

I am almost 50. So 40 years later I look similar enough to be recognized. Is that a compliment? An insult?

The kicker, I had the biggest crush on this kid in 6th grade. He had shoulder length blonde silky hair, but at age 50 he was bald, haha! I did not mention my earlier crush to him, but boy, was that weird!

As a side note, for 9 years, I sat in a cube kitty cornered from a lady in a different group, so I only said pleasantries to her in the elevator for years. Well one day, I heard her talking across the hall and said, that is "Susie Smith" from 5th grade. I recognized her voice alone, since she looked nothing like her younger self.

She lived near bald guy back then and we all rode the same bus at age 10. So I took bald guy across the hall to meet another former schoolmate from 5th/6th grade. And this was in one of the largest cities in the US.

So maybe OP knows this woman from elementary school![/quote]
