Apparently two people in Atlanta did not. That’s only swimmer Katie Ledecky, two-time Olympian who holds the world record in the 400-meter, 800-meter and 1500-meter freestyles, the first woman to simultaneously hold these records since Janet Evans in 1988.

Cue the oblivious girls who asked Ledecky to take their photo.

According to fellow USA teammate Maya DiRado, two girls wanted to capture a moment together and asked Ledecky to assist them – obviously not recognizing who she was because she wasn’t asked to join in on the photo fun.

Way to go, girls.

Ledecky made her Olympic debut four years ago at 15 years old and won gold in the 800-meter. Now, she preps for Rio, but not before snapping a picture of some chicks who are clearly as “Clueless” as Alicia Silverstone was in the ’90s.

Perhaps there is a trend going?

Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi was plagued with a similar incident once before, as pointed out by NBC OlympicTalk Editor Nick Zaccardi on Twitter.

Come on, kids. Learn your athletes.
