    I’m not sure what this is specifically about but I avoid entire stores to avoid the possibility of certain people even seeing me

      The only awkward part for me is that I live in a small town, so when I use some like Instacart it’s usually always the same couple people…

      …and then I’ll see them at the one bar in town, too.

        Several of my friends and family got married within about 5 years of each other. It’s also well known that I rarely drink and have no issues with being the designated driver. We also had a pretty nice minivan at the time that could technically seat 8, but has been known to pack in 2-3 more of needed. So I was invited to every bachelor party. Right at first there were 3 all in the same 12 month period, and at some point I started seeing someone at my local grocery store that I recognized, but was not sure where from. It wasn’t until one of the following trips that I passed him face to face in an isle and gave him a nod and a wave that I realized where from. The moment the guy looked up at me and saw me wave, he grabbed his kid and pulled him away like I was about to attack, which perplexed the shit out of me until it clicked that he worked at the club as a manager and bouncer.
