No, I am pretty sure that I wouldn't. I am bad with faces, especially if you take someone out of their usual 'setting' that I know them from.

I was shopping once and thought I saw a pea, but was to chicken to ask. But in general I wouldn't recognize my best friend in some cases.. lol Now that I have my picture up you might be able to recognize me, WorkingClassDog.

Probably not, but then I went to my class reunion and didn't know my own cousin

I am happy to see all the familiar avatars. I think that if I saw some of you in real life I would recognize you. I would recognize a lot of your kids too. What do you think? Eva I will never forget, for the rest of my life, running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon (my avatar picture) when 2/3's way through someone called my name. She then said, "I'm Brandy, I know you from 2 peas!" She had read a thread where I talked about running it, and she was running it too (although I didn't know that), so filed it somewhere in the back of her head. There were literally 10,000 of us running and she recognized me! So yes, it can be done. Ive met a number of peas in real life and one of my BFFs is someone I met here and now have had in my life for close to a decade.

Not unless they looked exactly like their avatar. Even then it probably wouldn't hit me until I got home and logged on here...

I have been PTA president of a school with 700 students, so have been on stage in front of all their parents several times. I was recently the PTA Council President for our town, so have presided over events involving the whole community.
i cannot tell you how many times I have been stopped at the store, Costco, target, etc. by someone who recognizes me, who looks slightly familiar, but in really have no idea who they are. It's practically a daily experience.
i ran into my dental hygienist at the store, and she said hi, small talk, etc., and I walked away with that, "I know her from somewhere but can't place her" feeling. I figured she must be a parent in town, and let it go. Woke up that night with the realization she was my hygienist, and I didn't realize it because she was in normal clothes.
i think it would have to be a highly recognizable Pea for me to make the connection. Otherwise it would probably go into my "Must be a parent" file.

I probably would have a nagging feeling that I knew them, and then figure it out about two hours later when I was at home. LOL This is exactly what would happen to me, maybe even days later.

I am awful with names and faces, so unless you are a pea I have met at one of the UT gatherings, I probably wouldn't recognize people.

I started at TP on the photography board. There was a girl there who I found out worked at the same place as my son! I didn't even know she lived in the same state let alone worked with him! Small world!

The chances of me meeting a Pea, is slim to non-existent (I know of one other Norwegian Pea, but I think she lives in another part of the country). And I'm probably a bit difficult to recognize;-)

Probably not, because I've noticed that even when people have good pics for their avatar, I'm probably picturing them wrong. Sometimes someone will post a bigger pic in a thread of themselves and I'll think " oh i wouldn't have thought she looked like that"!

Considering that I do know in real life these two peas, I will say it is possible, but usually when we have scheduled to meet or where all going to the same event or activity. I have met many peas at various scrapbook related events, and although we do not see each other in person much, we do keep in touch. When it happens there is often a "twenty questions" on both our parts to narrow down where we have seen each other before.

I sold a ticket to a pea for a CK sb crop a million years ago. Didn't recognize her, but then again, I'm not even sure I actually met the pea or if it was the friend that needed the ticket. I always wonder if I'll run into cmpeter since I think she's fairly local to me. Hasn't happened yet.

I'm pretty sure I'd have absolutely no clue. I'm oblivious like that!

I recognized one in an amusement park 2 years ago. She'd posted several pics over the years of her and her family and they were easy to spot. It was odd though because at first I was trying to place how I knew them and then I realized that I really DIDNT know them, lol.

I doubt it ... I'm pretty flaky by nature so I would never notice anyone around me JBeans now lives in my area and we have met up so if I saw her I'd recognize her but that's about it ... My avatar is almost 10 years old so even my dd's don't look exactly like that anymore but it's too cute to change Leanne

I would recognize one Pea, but only because she's my mother. Actually, that's not true, I met SoonerPenguin at a local hockey game and have a handful of Peas on my FB, so I'd probably recognize them as well.
Now if you were to ask which Peas I would like to meet someday, that'd be a much longer list.

I can think of a few, because we have met in person. On purpose. and I was expecting to meet them. If I wasn't expecting to see you, I probably won't recognize you. Makes me wonder how many Peas I've walked past over the years. Maybe I should put my own picture up as my avatar so I can meet some new people.

I don't think I would, and if I did I'd be to shy to say anything.

I doubt it. No LLS stores around in my area where I could possibly meet a pea.

I saw a Pea at Archivers a couple of years ago. We were at the same crop. But I didn't say hi-- I really hadn't interacted with her on the boards. She's here... I saw her post already.

No, I don't think I would. I have met a number of peas and even though I had seen many of the photos before meeting them, I still wouldn't have recognized them. It seems like there is always something like they are tall and I thought they were short or vice versa. Maybe their hair has changed some....length, color, or whatever. So, no, I don't think I would recognize anyone out of the blue when I have such a hard time when I know I am meeting someone. LOL

I don't think I would. Even seeing the pictures everyday, I just wouldn't think about meeting a pea out in the wild!

Years ago I was at the orthodontist and my son was a baby. Someone from here or another site (Scrapbook Addict) asked me if my name was Stacy. I can't remember who it was at the time, but it sort of freaked me out that I was recognized that way.
