a case of mistaken identity.

there's nothing worse than thinking you recognise a friend in public and greeting them enthusiastically, only to realise its actually a complete stranger. unless, of course, you're that stranger. here are some graceful ways to handle both ends of the stick:


for the misrecogniser:
- 'sorry, i think i need new glasses!'
- 'you see, im so in love with my new boyfriend i see him everywhere!'
- 'hi, i represent an agency for people who look like my friends. wanna sign up?'

for the misrecognised:
- 'sorry. but if i see her i'll say hi.....im sure i'll recognise her!'
- 'oh, and i thought i had the perfect disguise!'
- 'thank goodness you didnt mistake me for a hat!'
