I had a similar experience when I met an very nasty administrator I worked under for a short time. She gave me the same fake smile she had used at work - the one she used before she sank her teeth deep into your neck. Then she attempted to engage me in conversation. I acted as though I had no memory of her at all - she was of such little importance that I could not even remember she was my boss for a while. I have to admit it felt good.
