Ever been recognized?
RedWeston's thread got me thinking about a similar question. Have you ever been out somewhere and someone came up to you and told you they'd seen your pics on bb.com? If so, how did you react? Could have been in an airport, on vacation, in the mall, etc. Maybe even one of your friends happened to see your pics. (Obviously this would only apply if you show your face on here).
Hasn't happened to me yet, but I figure it will one day!

Not from bb.com but from another defunct forum. I was working a part time job in Macy*s; he was hired as Christmas help. He came up to me and asked if I was [my old handle]. I was startled and said yes, I used to be.

Nobody has recognized me, but I recognized a few at a Bodybuilding show I went to.

Funny you should bring that up. Just yesterday I drove down to York Barbell Co. to pick up some more iron, and the thought crossed my mind if anyone in there posted here. Of course I didn't ask.

LOL!
I have not been recognized -- at least I've never had anyone come up to tell me they knew me from this site. There is a man at my gym who wears a bodybuilding.com t-shirt, but I'm not asking him if he posts here because I'm shy.

I have a BB.com T shirt too, and there is no way this old dude is wearing it in public. I'm really only appreciated here. That would be the equivalent to any one of you wearing your pants down below your a$$ cheeks with a hoodie on.

All the time.
I had a trainer the other day ask me to write some more articles. He took up my 2 hours asking me stuff and BSing with me. But I enjoy it sometimes.

I couldn't recognize Baker that day since he never posts a pic of his entire face!

I would be concerned if I was recognized after all the threads about people who annoy you in the gym. Fortunately I workout in a college gym and the people who annoy me wouldn't read the OV35 section.

Crap if anyone on this forum deserves to sport the BB t-shirt its you. You are a great inspiration to all.

Not yet been recognized from anything related to here. but I have had people recognize me from my Dog stuff and have met people who could quote from my wifes articles. It's kind of spooky having people you don't know familiar with your bio and quoting you back to you.

LOL, I spotted a bb.com shirt at the gym one time also. Didn't ask him either.
