Do you run into people you know when you are shopping? email this discussion to a friend?

Today I was at wal-mart and ran into an old friend whom I haven't seen in almost a year and a half! It was so good to see her! I told her I keep thinking I should call her but I was afraid she might have forgotten who I was it had been so long! She is super busy, so I don't blame her for not being good at staying in touch - 3 kids under 5, working part-time, and going to school! We are going to try to get together sometime soon!

It is not uncommon for me to run into people i know at stores - it doesn't seem to matter where - i've been on vacation out of state & seen people i know & had lost touch with! It is the strangest thing! I've seen old teachers, old co-workers, old classmates - you name it!

Does this ever happen to you?

This happens to me but because of my memory loss I have no idea who they are & its embarrassing sometimes, cause I really have no idea who they are OR where I know them from...Lori blush


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2128)   ranked 5 out of 212 in walmart  11 months ago

Don't feel bad, it can be really hard to remember people - just smile & say wow you look good, what have you been up to? lol.

happyYes, I do occasionally run into people I know, because I know a lot of people. I may not stop and talk to them all, but occasionally we do at least say hi when we meet up in the isles. The church I belonged to has 400 members and most of them live in the same town, so I am bound to see some of them. I go to a much smaller church now, but I do run into some of my friends there too. Most of us are in a hurry, so we don't stop and chat.. but we do say hello.


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2128)   ranked 5 out of 212 in walmart  11 months ago

i could not imagine knowing 400 people! Although my parents were the choir directors of one for 30+ years so I guess they managed to know every single person in their church which come to think of it had just as many if not more...sometimes i see their church friends out & about and they recognize me but man i have no idea who they are!!

No matter where I go I always run into someone I know. We even go to another town to do our shopping for groceries and run into people from that town. When I worked as a cashier at our Wal-mart I seen past teachers, friends, and even some people that I no longer consider friends. I try to avoid many people by going to a different town because I don't always have time to stop and visit for long periods.


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2128)   ranked 5 out of 212 in walmart  11 months ago

I was a cashier for awhile at different stores also - it is crazy who you see and meet! I don't blame you for driving somewhere different one bit! I still won't step foot into one of the stores i used to work at unless a dire emergency because it will seriously take all day to get out of there while i "catch up" with everyone i used to know there!

Yes, I have to say it has happened to me a time or 100. It seems when I am out and about is the only time I run into people. Standing in the middle of an aisle chit chatting and catching up. I even have this happen alot when we decide to go out and eat (which isn't often), but low and behold if we don't run into 2 or 3 other couples there.

I always seem to run into people I don't want to see when I go out. For example, today, I ran into my high school vice principal. I didn't really like this guy when I was in school, and then there he was. I also run into people with I went to school but with whom I wasn't friends. I always try to avoid being seen by people - go down a different aisle or something - because I don't want to have to act like I'm glad to see them, and take time passing niceties. If I do run into people I would like to see, it seems like it is always on my "slob" days - like when I was doing some home improvement and needed some spray paint, so I went to the store real quick in a shirt that was covered in paint, and I run into the school clerk from my high school, really nice woman who helps students out with filling out collage applications and getting copies of transcripts (and I had classes with her son).


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2128)   ranked 5 out of 212 in walmart  11 months ago

good point - it usually is people you don't want to see! If they say anything I just laugh and tell people i came out looking my worst just because i knew i'd see them!

This happens to me every once in a while and I hate it. Usually if I have loss touch with someone, it is because I do not want them in my life any more. Not necessarily for anything bad. I just do not feel that everyone is menat to be a part of your life for the reat of your life.


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2128)   ranked 5 out of 212 in walmart  11 months ago

that is a good point. I have wondered about this often, as I have lost touch with so many people...sometimes it is a good thing, other times it really makes you wonder why you lost touch, like two friends who just sort of forgot about each other...


myLot reputation of 79/100. Rozie37 (6709)  11 months ago

Some people are in our lives for a reason, some for a season, and others for a lifetime.
