Awkward moment when you see someone waving at you and you wave back and say hi with a smile only to realize they were waving at the person behind you.
.........
Funny story on this one.........
I moved to a new location in April. I was in the cafeteria and saw someone I needed to talk to, so I tried to wave her down. The person in front of her intercepted the wave, waved back, and then
got out of line to come talk to me!!!. As she was making her way over I'm trying to fast forward through every memory I have to remember who this was. I definitely recognized her but couldn't recall why or what her name was.
She comes up, gives me a BIG hug and asks about my wife and kids by name. I'm just explaining that my staff had just moved into the building, yada yada....Anything to avoid having to say her name, since I had no clue what it was. I'm trying to sneak a peak at her ID badge but it had flipped backward during the hug-fest.
Eventually she said something that reminded me that our kids had gone to the same school for a while. I remembered her son's name and it all came rushing back. So when we parted ways I said "See you around Donna! Make sure to tell Spencer (her son) that I said hi!". Talk about AWKWARD!
