We've all been there. I'm going about my daily business when suddenly, I am confronted by a supposed stranger who is clearly not a stranger at all. No matter if the person is low key, or a little aggressive about approaching me, I always panic when I realize that this person knows me, and I have no idea who the hell they are.
I realize that it may also be uncomfortable for the other person, once they realize that I am completely oblivious to our apparent acquaintanceship; as Joel felt towards Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Clementine had erased her boyfriend, Joel, from her memory using super-duper technology afforded to her in magical movie-land by the science-savvy company: Lacuna inc.
Joel approaches Clementine at the bookstore she has worked at for years and she acts as if he is simply a browsing customer, and not her serious boyfriend coming in (gift in hand) to make up with her after having a terrible fight. Awkward...
