““As you approach Carol, she stands with her back to you, engaged in a conversation. Eager to make a joke about the questionable headwear in the crowd, you tap her on the shoulder. A complete stranger turns to you, confused and slightly irritated. You respond with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else." But that's not true.
