So I take a class at the gym on Wednesday nights. It just so happens that Alan works with 2 ladies who also take the same class. He set up a get together with one of them and her family for the weekend. Now I don't get to actually talk to these ladies very much but I knew who they were. So I decided to try and speak to them after class. One of them didn't show up for class. I thought it was the one we were supposed to be going out with so I yelled out in the middle of class, "Where's [name redacted]?" And do you know the girl who did show up raised her hand in response to my question? That's right, I had them mixed up this whole time. I thought I blew it off pretty well but she told Alan at work this morning that she knew I had them mixed up. Oh geez, did I feel like a moron. So in the future, I will not yell out someone's name in a public place unless I am 1000% sure I know it's them.
Lesson Learned: If you're going to yell out a name in public, you'd better make sure you know whose name it is.

Or you could do like I did and mix their name up with their spouse's... that was interesting.
