waved at the wrong person?

What happened when you did?

Answers:
i sometimes do this on purpose. they usually look happy but confused. wave at a stranger everyday.....
yes and my face turned red
yep
All the time, accidentily.

They usually wave back but have a puzzled look on their face thinking "who the hell is that?"
Yeah, lol. I just said sorry and turned around. Felt pretty stupid though.
I have and when I figured it out, I just laughed about it while they looked really confused.then told my friends to they could laugh with me aobut it.
lol i actually have done worse than that i went up to someone in a theme park thinking it was my cousin and told them to get their *** home cos their mum wanted them, a few mins later they came back up to me with their dad and he really gave me a telling off, but i was only young lol i didnt know
I do it all the time and sometimes because people are nosey and i do it to wind them up
and i don't get embarrassed
Yes and it used to embarrass me. Now I don't care and sometimes the person just waves back. Or I tell them I thought they were someone else.
yes, and they waved back.
Yes and I turned beet red.
i laughed!
Yeh, they gave me funny look and said, I'm not waving at you love, its the women behind ya.
Quite a few times. Best policy is to continue waving, smile and nod, and leave them to worry about their failing memory!
Yeah, how embarrassing, but done it to the same person on more than one occassion. Really looks like someone I know.

He must think I am a nutter!
I did one worse than that! I jumped on the back of my friend, or who i thought was my friend. She turned round and punched me with her knuckle duters! She was so apologetic when she realised i wasn't mugging her and I was beetroot to say the least!
Sure, lots of times. They usually wave back. Kind of like smiling - most ppl see a smile and they return it. It's great, I like doing it! Have fun!
Not, but I once saw a man on the other side of the road who I thought was my dad. I ran across the road shouting Dad Dad, he turned round and it wasn't him, I quickly ran away!
Yes, but as soon as i realised its the wrong person, i'll pretend that I'm actually waving at another person behind him. lol
yeah I was all like "HI!!!!" and they were like "do I know you?" and I was like "oops!" and my face turned red. soo embarassing!!
I once thoguht i was waving a a good friend of mine. He didnt wave back so I ran up to this person as if I knew them. It wasnt my friend boy was I embarassed.
yeah, but u shouldn't feel anyway it's' just amatter of mistaken identity.Just pretend like u r waving the person behind the other person u had mistaken for someone else.!!!!!
nothing just laugh
yessss lol. the worst bit was he waved back and i reallised that although it wasn't the person i thought it was he was dead cute..unfortunatly the look that his boyfriend gave me put me firmly in my place.sigh
done it many times. also hate it when you get prat that wave to you in car you wave back then you see them laughing because you waved back to themand you think get a life
Not really, I will wave to anyone out of friendliness. But if I make the mistake - I act if the above was the case
we have been talking about this today as when we was out my sister thought she saw our step nan in a car stopped at the rail gates so she ran across the road and hammered on the window only to be sworn at by a very shocked woman. i did it a week later when i thought i saw my grandad and started shouting after him only to be very embarrassed when he turned round ha-ha
