i saw the question posted on another forum i lurk around, thought it might be interesting to post here. not necessarily to get answers (though it'd be interesting to hear) but kinda just to make yah think....
as for me, on a daily basis i pretend not to know customers are outright lying when they call in to verizon wireless customer service and act like they don't know where download charges on their bill came from
I pretend not to know when people are ignoring/avoiding me.
I pretend (to their faces) not to know the crap other people are putting into their grocery carts and their bodies on a daily basis.
On Mondays and Wednesdays from 2-3:15 I pretend that I know absolutely no French at all because I really don't want to speak in French. I've gotten all A's on my assignments, so I wonder if my prof thinks I'm cheating. Maybe he's pretending not to know...?

I do basically the same thing just I have running commentary going in my head also. :D
Would not be a good scene if I spoke my thoughts.
I pretend not to know when my students use foul or perverse language. Sometimes. If it's not blatantly obvious and not hurting anyone. I just pretend not to hear it........Pick your battles.......
I pretend not to know what kind of homelives my students have.

I pretend not to notice that my first gyn visit is tomorrow.
Your first?
Oh, it's easy peasy. Don't even worry a blessed minute. Let us know how it goes!

Hey, French is pretty darn cool. I too ignored it (tho I did 2 years) until I actually moved to Europe and discovered their excellent cinema and documentaries and TV series. French TV is some of the best. And the language is extremely useful when you're angry or down. It's one of those wonderful languages in which you can be so polite and elegant that it's insulting--and yet the person you're insulting hasn't got a leg to stand on for a comeback.
Essaie un autre fois, ma belle. C'est tres utile.
I pretend not to know that none of my friends call me anymore.

I pretend not to know that my best friend's boyfriend is an asshole and he's NOT the one!

I say, try again too. It is very, very useful to know another language!
i pretend not to know that my oldest brother had an affair. even though everyone in my family knows, he has never brought it up to me or my other brother (which makes us sad), so we have to act like we don't know that his marriage is falling apart.

Yup, I pulled this one for a while, too...then the Ralph Nader thread came along and reminded me that maybe I really don't know.....but I am absolutely open about knowing how totally screwed we all are anyway.
and HEY! it's good to see you around the boards, Sariea!
I pretend not to know the real truth about 9-11
I pretend not to know the real balance of our bank account and that we're screwed if I don't get a job with a salary.
Your first?

Yep. yg and I made a pact over a year ago. I finally made the appointment because of pink, but she's abandoned us.
I pretend to not know that everyone thinks I'm a weirdo.
