Have you ever encountered someone you know IRL in the hobby world?

I drive around with personalized plates on my car. That way if anyone sees me out in public, they'll know to avoid me!

I think it's only fair to give everyone a warning, so they can take the time to run away and avoid me at all costs.

Oh, so I guess asking for them to autograph a condom wrapper is a no-no?

Yep in public please. I have a life just like you and family nothing humiliating than someone you had encounter with. You guys wouldn't like that with me especially when wify is around.

No need for anything else other than a smile and move on. If courteous conversation arises (just like any normal human being standing in line at the store) then so be it. But dont make it awkward.
Same for the provider. If i've never seen you BCD..then i happen to recognize you at Target... and i try to make polite convo, i hope you're not purposefully a bitch just becuz you think you are recognizeable. May ruin my desire to reach out and make an appt.
But then again, the provider may have a slew of repeat clients, so they may not give a shit about little ol' me.

Why search to see if people are providers? People have lives, you value your privacy and you should respect theirs. Whole thread seems stalkerish to me. Originally Posted by TheEccie214

How about seeing a friend (known for years), having her show you some pics only to see that one of her family members is a provider that you were trying to make an appointment with! Fortunately the provider retired a short while later. After that I realized it was the family resemblance that had caught my eye in the first place. I have to admit though, I would have gone with the Run, Forrest, Run plan.

Anyone remember that review where the guy claimed he met his ex wife.

I never believed that really happened but who knows.

NEVER, EVER acknowledge in public. Stick with this rule and everyone will be alright.

I had an instance where I ran into a girl I used to work with. I had no idea it was her by the pics. It had been several years since I worked with her and if she recognized me she didn't say anything, just like I didn't say anything to her. We both had a great time and I saw her several times after that as well. Hobby is hobby and RL is RL. Keep them separate in my opinion.

UGh….leave it alone!!!
I have received pm asking if I was the hot Asian woman he saw at some restaurant the night before.
Another pm asking if I was the hot girl who works at LA Fitness.
WHATTTT??? No…they are not me. But if it was me, why would I want some strange random creepy guy to know???
I swear….nothing annoys me more than lack of common sense!!! Originally Posted by samantha thom

Seriously, why do people even have to be told these sorts of things. Just shocking.

It's more so... have you ever been browsing the profiles, and seen someone that you actually know IRL and had no idea they were a provider. With all the 6 degrees of separation, and how you're always seeing friends of friends commenting on social media, etc... that someone would have run into a real life acquaintance on a provider site somehow.

I'm pretty oblivious out in the real world so I wouldn't even notice if I did and I'd appreciate the same from anyone I've seen. I do remember one time I was grocery shopping with my so and I noticed a stripper who I had spent a lot of time with before I met my so and I just turned around and went the other direction before she saw me. It was a little nerve racking since my so knew about my stripper loved past and I figured she would have lost her shit if the young lass tried to spark up a convo with me.

Last night I recognized ( fromeccie profile pics as I have not met her face to face) a provider at a funeral. Before yall start looking at obituaries, it was not around here and the provider was from Houston.

People are people and you never know when or where you may cross paths.

never cross the steams , it would be very bad

The best answer to the original question should be: Why does it matter? Who cares? Why is it your business? Do you not have anything else to do? Are you that bored? Why are you so nosey? If you are, are you not embarrassed for people/providers on here to know that you are a possible stalker? Ugh.
