High School and my annoyance.

Another day, another rant...
[Rant]
Went to Cracker Barrel today with family for my dad's birthday. At the cashier counter my brother goes to buy something and apparently the cashier recognizes the resemblance of my brother to me. Asks him if he went to RHS and ends up leading to her saying she knows me. My brother decides that I'm apparently not socially awkward enough as it is and hollars over for me to come to the counter. Oblivious to what he's started, I walk over AND then he decides to tell me "Yea, she says she knows you from RHS"... I look and have zero clue who the hell the person is and she tries to figure out what class we supposedly took together and suggests psychology... I took psych in college not HS and just said that couldn't be. Ends up with an awkward me not knowing what to do/say and finally just walking out without a word because frankly, I have no desire to reminisce on my high school years. They're done and gone and there's things about those years I want to forget. I try NOT to be recognized as having ever attended that school. I dodge the reunions, the alumni functions and all that BS because I simply do not want to be bothered with that hell hole of a high school. There were SOME good people there when I went but the class of '06 was not something I could ever honestly call myself proud of.
I've told my siblings and even my family many times that if someone claims to know me from there then they should just ignore it. At the most they can say "oh that's nice" and be done with it. Pretty sure I've made this clear on many occasions and yet they still insist on placing me in these awkward situations and expect me to have even the slightest desire to entertain people's whimsical thoughts that they somehow "knew me" in high school. I believe personally there were only three or four people that truly knew me in those years, and they know who they are. As for the rest of my graduating year, I do wish you'd all stop assuming you know me. Recognizing a face doesn't mean you know me, and it sure as hell doesn't mean I know you. I kept to myself for a good reason. There's a few stories about me that went around the school in my years there and I'm sure everyone knows my little legacy and claims to fame from that school, but again that doesn't mean you know me.
As for my brother... he should know better since he was a freshman in my senior year. He had first hand experience and knowledge of some of the shit that went on there and should know why I kept to myself and didn't bother with others.
