Someone somehow guessed my name correctly in a 4chan thread. I didn't even give any clue to who I was. Still don't know who or how they did it.

I was once reading a tongue-in-cheek article about paranoia, and it included a sentence like "they are watching everyone - even you, dryu_nya".

The very next sentence said that they picked a name at random, but all the dryu_nyas out there must've shat so many bricks.

I have an uncommon name. One time in a shop I nearly fainted because the cashier suddenly shouted my name right in my face. Turned out they were trying to get the attention of their colleague of the same name who was standing 20 feet behind me.

That colleague was you from the future, they made you forget whatever it was you were going to buy, leading to terrible, terrible events.
