Pizza
The guy bringing out your no contact curbside pick up pizza with a big smile: Hey! How are you doing?
You: Good! How are you?
Him: do you remember me?
You: (smiling, trying to mentally connect his face to someone you might remember, but failing), ah, I don’t know man. Where should I remember you from?
Him: high school! (Sees you trying to make the connection but failing, tells you his name)
You: (not even remotely remembering the name or the face, but appreciating someone being excited to see you and not wanting to be rude) Oh! How are you!
Him: Good man! How are you?
You: I’ve made a lot of bad decisions.
Him: (handing you the pizza) That sucks! Have a good night!
You: Yeah! You too! Good to see you!
