An Entry from the Archives

Last night I dreamt that I ran into someone I knew as an acquaintance (not someone I know in waking life, fwiw) who'd gotten married a couple of months earlier. So, I told her congratulations. A few minutes later I realized this was the third time I'd run into after the wedding, and each time I'd congratulated her.

I was explaining this to a friend (in the dream), feeling chagrinned, and said we needed a word for this particular social faux pas.
