Here's mine:
Summer after my junior year of high school I'm at a concert. It was a cool night so I had my track jacket on. Someone I don't know asks me if I go to high school there, I say yes. He says "do you know Mrs. Smith" I say "yeah, but I hear she just got canned" (she was fired after just a year or two due to budget cutbacks). The person responds "She's my mother"

When I was in high school, our church group was on a trip. As we're pulling into a Burger King, I notice we're pulling into a handicapped spot (we're all in one big van). This parking in a handicapped spot is one of my pet peeves, I heckle our driver.
"Hey, you're not handi-e-eeeeeeee" as in midword, I notice that we have brought our spina bifida stricken student on her first youth church outing. Fortunately, she didn't hear me, but I still felt like I could be stomped by a smurf.

First job out of college. Just finished interviewing a bunch of juco baseball players. They notice my throwback two-tone Orioles cap.
One says, 'You remember Jeff Ballard?'
Quickly remembering Jeff Ballard (but neglecting his stellar '89 campaign, for some reason), I blurt out, 'Oh man. He sucked.'
The guy kindly, quietly responds, '...oh. He was my high school coach.'
That's the last time I wore that cap on assignment anywhere. God knows when I'd run into Craig Worthington's kid or something.
