The reason I was wondering about my fellow office dweller is that there’s a guy with a name similar to a name being used on here. If that makes sense? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bruce\_Daddy \* > \*\*I’m actually in Simpsonville. Tell me you live in Simpsonville and go to that horrid Walmart off of Fairview and I’ll shit myself. \*\* Go there? Not only have I gone there but I actually used to work at Fairview Pointe Animal Clinic which is just a hop, skip and a jump from there. I live off 85 in Piedmont which is almost close enough for you to hear me if I stood on my front porch and hollered at ya. I don’t ever go to that crappy Walmart anymore–I prefer to brave the 5th circle of Hell (otherwise known as Woodruff Rd) to go to the biiiig Walmart. Which is just as crappy but it’s a higher level of crap, I’d like to think. 😉 Speaking of chance Doper encounters…wasn’t there someone on here that posted in the Pit about getting mugged on a street one morning(I wanna say New York) on the way to work, and another Doper posted and said, “Oh my God–that was you I saw this morning?” Or maybe I’m just imagining things again… ---

No, I’m not from Texas, but Texas wants me anyway. (I’m moving to Longview on Sunday.) If there were any Dopers within easy driving distance of the city of Hudson, New York, I’d probably know them. But I don’t believe there are any. ---

It turned out that at least two of the people I worked with here in Houston were Dopers. One dropped the info in discussion, the other I sussed out from a thread in which he mentioned a work location I was familiar with. All three of us discovered this board independently, out of a total US work force force of about 30 in the company I work for. All I can say is, mud loggers can often have a lot of time on their hands. ---

I haven’t actually bumped into another Doper (other than the crew I met at the recent Ann Arbor get together), but I did have a one-off experience. The long-departed **Highlander** responded to one of my posts on the AOL SDMB with a question about my education. We compared notes and discovered that I had gone to school with a guy for many years whom **Highlander** knew after the guy switched schools. **Highlander** and I each knew the woman the former classmate married, as well. (Of course, those contacts had occurred 25+ years prior to coming aboard the SDMB.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aslan of Narnia \* > **I dunno if I’ve passed any of the 10+ BC dopers that are currently active, but Flamsterrete seems familar to me.** Nah, I rarely go to Surrey. I think the last time I was there, I had to go see my brother’s octet perform at some church community hall or other last year. The time before that, it was early September 2001… I went to my friend Keith’s house for a BBQ. You must be thinking of some other person. 🙂 (unless you go to Richmond / Vancouver on a regular basis to escape Surrey 😉 ) F\_X ---

I once came upon someone posting on another board who I absolutely thought was my ex boyfriend. It was extremely uncanny, but unless he went to extravagent means to make up a new persona, I was mistaken and it actually was some other guy. lol.
