As I was crossing the street this afternoon after leaving work, I heard, “Hi Mark!” from behind me. I turned to see a middle-aged slightly asian woman coming up at my side.
“Oh hi,” I said, not wanting to be rude, but also not having a fucking clue who she was.
She looked familiar, but I couldn’t place a name or even come up with how I obviously knew her.
“I didn’t know you worked at _____________,” she said. “I thought you worked somewhere over there,” wildly gesticulating in the general direction we were walking.
Since we both got on the elevator for the employee-only parking garage, she obviously worked for the same entity I did, but I have absolutely no memory of ever having met her.
Was she a current coworker whose computer issue I’d fixed and then promptly forgot? Was she a former coworker who was now working at the same place I was?
I am truly at a loss.
If I run into her again I won’t play coy; I’ll tell her I can’t recall her name or even how we know each other…

That happened to me last week at the store. I just said up front, i’m sorry, I don’t remember you name.
