"Unrecognizable" NSV

I work in a small insurance agency. Today one of my lovely older customers came in (haven't seen him for a few months) and walked straight past me (as I was on the phone) to my office manager at the back of the office.

He sat down and asked where "the other girl" was. She thought he meant an absent colleague and he shook his head and pointed at my desk and said, "the one who used to sit there - Jeannette". My office manager pointed at me and said, "Jeannette's right there". I then heard him say, "Has she lost a lot of weight? I didn't recognize her!" He thought I was a new employee :bigsmile:

    Isn't it bizarre when this happens?!?! I called the accountant (who I only see once a year but have known for 20 years) and told him I was on my way over with some paperwork. When I got there I got the "Can I help you miss?". I handed him my stuff and his eyes bugged out of his head when he realized it was me. So akward!!

    That's brilliant, bet you felt so pleased! :)

    I have a similar story. A few nights ago, I went into the shop where my own cousin works. She looked at me, turned around and did a double take, before saying "God, you can tell you've lost weight! I didn't recognise you!". The funny thing is, WE LIVE TOGETHER!!! :laugh:

    I've had people see me...look at my kids, and then it hits them..."WOW". Not being recognized is definately my favorite compliment! Way to go!
