Only if it's your wife/girlfriend and you're in bed. Oh, and you are about to have sex.
Then it might not pass Miss Manners smell test.
Otherwise, it might depend on who, where, etc. Like your boss. Or if it's the guy you think might be your boss.

Depends on the circumstances. It does sound rude though. Maybe a rephrase would be good.
Scenario:
A cop is giving you a parking ticket, when you walk up unexpectedly.
"Sorry, do I know you?" From you to the cop. Totally inappropriate.

I quit!
If you're speaking to your wife....yes!

I hate it when people come up to me and ask how's it going, bla bla bla, and I haven't the slightest idea who they are. It happens to me about once a month, unfortunately. REally, I don't know what to say, other than just play along with them.
Really, is there something that can be said and not sound rude?
BTW, it does kinda sound rude. I've had those "looks" when I ask where we've met.

Only if you roll over in bed.

OH, btw, I'm not a manwhore, so no, it's not from people I've slept with, just for the record, Big Tex! (Hmm... hope I don't seem too defensive...)

Not at all.
Next time you forget, just tell them you just had a Sapphire martini straight up with 2 olives and if they're interested, you're buying.
That'll give you time to stall to figure who the hell they are!
BTW I love the term manwhore. Made me laugh out loud.

The other morning I was up early to get our dog that ran off, some nice people found him in their yard going after their dog in heat!!
So I had to get gas first........ as he ran pretty far off.
I was getting gas and
This guy was walking out of the convenient store and looked at me
as if he knew me and said hi
and I thought I knew him and said HEY! with a friendly smile.
He hurried by to his car.
As I was pumping gas I thought.......he is not who I thought he was afterall, and I wondered if he thought the same thing about me.
It was quite funny, but very early in the morning too!!!
