a case of the 'don't know ya's
It’s when you recognize someone from somewhere else, but they think you’re a total stranger and give you the worst look ever.
I saw my old gym teacher at the coffee shop and waved. He gave me the look like I had stolen his lunch money.
At the library, I saw my old neighbor and said hi. She stared at me like I was a creepy stalker.
My friend’s dad saw me at the gas station and didn’t know who I was. I said, 'Hey, remember me?' He said, 'Nope.' Like I was a ghost.
