I got randomly recognized on a dating site? And it was the creepiest thing ever! I think face to face would be even worse!

Eh, tbf I'm sure it also depends heavily on how they approach you.

If they're a normal, well adjusted person saying "oh hey, you're a goon as well huh? I post in the selfie thread too! Cool beans." then that shouldn't be a problem, and if anyone is weirded out by that, then the problem is probably with themselves.

BUT! If they're acting awkward/creepy, then for sure I can see that being weird.

PSA: Don't be weirdos, goons.

I guess I shouldn't have put the word random in there. It was a creepy thing, and I was approached in a creepy way.

I have met a handful of goons personally, though running into them randomly around here doesn't happen often. I quite like goons.

Happy Birthday to Ignite Memories! You are looking happy and I hope you stay that way!

I used to think that one of the best things about London was never running into anyone you didn't want to. Then I learnt an ex-girlfriend had moved here and I was paranoid I'd run into her and the breakup wasn't handled well on either side. For ages I reckon she thought I hated her but I had no ill feelings towards her at all.

I was so concerned about it and it bothered me so much that she thought I hated her I messaged her on Facebook and just apologised for my part in how it all went down. We exchanged some pleasant messages (and I found her boyfriend does the exact same job as me for a different company, which is weird enough but I hadn't even heard of this profession when we were dating so it's double weird. Maybe she has a type and it's "internal auditors") and that was that.

Literally 3 months or so later I 100% walked past her in the street at 10am, I was late to a client meeting and she apprently had just left from having a blood test. She insisted she hadn't seen me but I'm sure she did. I know all this because I messaged her and just said I thought I walked past her.

Even today I'm still amazed at the odds of that happening.

The odds are better than you think. The people you associate with tend to associate with similar people, have similar interests and life experiences. There are outliers and if you look far enough from the core of one distinct group, you'll end up in the backwater fringes of multiple social circles or the middle of another group. Just by nature, you and your ex are likely to frequent the same areas of town, go to similar businesses, date similar people (which is how she ended up with bizarro-you) and you might even share some casual acquaintances if you look hard enough.

Science is keen!

Yeah I really couldn't have done any more to assure my own demise.

Although at the Boston Red Sox game last year with Shatner in attendance I did make shirts saying "RED SOX VS. RED SHIRTS"

Don't even remember who they were playing against :v:

When I was younger I always thought it would be cool to own a star trek uniform (captain Picard's from TNG obviously) but as I grew older and more ashamed of my nerdiness I never bothered getting one. Glad you haven't made the same mistake I did!

I have a dream that one day, no matter what your gender, it will be socially normal to wear a fashionable skirt uniform just like the romans did.

Also I have good calves, so it would look pretty good to be quite honest.

I have no clue why Voodoo has such a huge reputation.
Is it the dick donut or maybe the cereal ones that are sometimes so hard that they're inedible?

Skip that poo poo. Go to Heavenly and get a pineapple fritter or apple pie donut.

Quite a feat to get a stale donut with the turnover there. Besides I was staying one block away and I'm scared of getting hepatitis if I have to walk more than a block in your filthy disgusting downtown.
