One time at the restaurant I used to work for a customer stopped me and said, "You look so familiar."
I replied, "Well, I'm your server. So it's probably me."
Today was a new twist on that exchange when a guest at the hotel was convinced he knew me.
Guest: I'm sorry, have you been on TV before?
Me: (Immediate thoughts to Shea's birthday and The Price is Right) Well, not really.
Guest: On a cooking show? Have you competed on a cooking show before?
Note: I've been extremely tired this month and had to actually think about this. I paused for a few beats wondering to myself, Have I competed on a cooking show before?
Me: Nope.
Guest: You've just got that weird look. I feel like I know you. You look like that weird Tilda Swinton. You must get that a lot.
Me: Not put so nicely.
When I told this to my coworker she just nodded and said, "Yeah. You look like an alien."
I feel like the only response I'm left with for about 98% of my interactions with people is just to nod and say thank you.

I think Tilda Swinton is a lot like you, brilliant & beautiful, that is. (can I get a nod & a thanks?!)
You get an orange slice in the corner of a crowded room and a huge I love you. Miss you so much, Amanda! Hope to see you soon and thanks for the kind notes.
