Is there a secret signal that people use if they recognise a fellow Fabber when in town?
Or do you always just pretend to be strangers and ignore them?
Obviously no one wants a stalker. |

You might happen to see them in Morrisons and hide in the aisle because you look like death... Text them later. Someone here might know about that.
Haha depends on my relationship with them, usually if they recognise me it's because we've talked a lot and shared so I'd to talk to them. |

If we've met them we will discreetly acknowledge them although I did acknowledge someone at their workplace and had to apologise later in case they didn't want me to, it was all fine though. If we've never met them we behave as if they're strangers, mostly because they actually are  |

For me, discretion is paramount and I'd be mortified if someone openly came up and told me they recognised me from here, especially if I was with someone.
Perfectly fine to later message me and say 'think i saw you in X earlier, was it you?'though. |

Don't meet anyone local to me but the one or two I have met at socials normally just say hi, nothing more.
Had to block one guy local to me who I had chatted to and swapped pics with, had no interest in meeting him. But I'd get a message seen you in local shop, loved the dress you were wearing etc. Told him it was bloody creepy and blocked him

"We got recognised in a local pub twice in one evening, that was a bit surreal, but it was low key
Quite amusing actually

As long as it wasn't weird but
I would never actually invade someone's privacy in that way. Seems a little bit shifty. |

"Seen two ladies on a dating app, on their profiles these women are single, but one has a husband and the other a significant other   "
I see a lot of 'local' single men... And I know their wives quite well. But that's none of my business |

"I've seen a few people as my town seems to be full of swingers
I always pretend I havent seen them - I wouldn't like it if anyone approached me."
Absolutely agree. Was curious as to people's experiences is all. |

I just find it mildly amusing. Especially when I watched one squirm |

I've been recognised on dating app. But I didn't really appreciate the message pointing it out.
I also got a few messages on here to say they think they had spotted me in morisons/town .. a bit creepy really and unsure if they were making it up to get my attention.
I'd rather discretion but if it was someone I'm familiar with, I'd say hi naturally like I would anyone I recognised. |

I used to get lots of messages telling me they knew me and they were going to tell everyone what I get up to.
They always had key details wrong. |

Those I have met in person would be cool about it, as I would be. I've usually met people more than once. I'd either acknowledge them with a nod and a smile or just say hi.
Not if they are company though.

"Shirley it's a case of acknowledging anyone you know. Smile, nod and possibly some small talk.
No need for anyone to know how you know each other!"
Unless your adult children are with you and ask  |

I had a message once saying I've just walked past you working on a drive way with a picture of me laying bricks. It was from a woman I'd been chatting to but never met |

I've bumped in to one or two. I think it depends really. I guess if its likely that you will bump into each other then talk about what youd do before it happens

I should have said, we had been chatting to them beforehand, they were not ransoms, but we had not met.

If I recognise someone from here in the local Tesco (other supermarkets are available, just not here) I tend to chase them round the supermarket waving a pack of appropriately named ice lollies at them...... |

I was having Sunday lunch in a pub with my FWB when a couple we’ve met for fun twice walked in with their whole family.
They introduced us as some friends and got on with their lunch. No big deal. |

I was thinking Fab lollies but now you've mentioned it I might give twisters a go next time |
