Sherlock is amazing at disguising. John knows this; he's seen him in countless disguises and if Sherlock really tries he can make himself look completely unlike himself. Then one day for a case Sherlock wears a disguise John hasn't seen on him before, and John recognises him. Recognises him as the first man he ever slept with, in a night club, who afterwards had said he had just needed a diversion to stop some other guy noticing him. Then left without looking back. The whole incident totally fucked up John's head for weeks, broke up his relationship, and almost got him kicked out of med school for not focussing/missing assignments/failing tests because all he could think about was what an idiot he'd been.
TL;DR - Sherlock disguises himself for a case, and John recognises him as the guy who shagged him in a night club (his first time with a bloke) when he was in med school before buggering off, in an incident that almost ruined John's life.

~*~John carries the folded paper triumphantly into the flat at the end of the day to find Sherlock frowning in front of an assembled case board above the fireplace

"That was for you."
"Obviously, Sherlock. I have it. Right here. In my hand."
Sherlock looks at him and cocks his head as if he's summoning endless amounts of patience through his upturned ear.
"That number is not my mobile number. Which you would have figured out the moment you saw it. The number it is, though, should have been your clue that I knew you'd made me as the police officer."
John looks down at the numbers scrawled diagonally across the paper, tries to remember what they might be. His mind is blank; they mean nothing to him.
"You don't recognize them at all?"
"Not at all."
"I'm surprised that I've left such a poor and minor impression on you."
"Sherlock," John says quietly, "could you just explain it without getting all pedantic and childish? For once?"
"Jennifer Wilson."
"Jennifer Wils-- the pink lady?"
"Yes."
"So you wrote down her phone number to show me that you knew that I knew that the police officer that came into my workplace today and harrassed Prudence, looked me over like I might make a fine

Haha! That was great! I liked the beginning with Mrs. Davies and of course that they both figured each other out. Also, I'd love to see Sherlock in a police officer's uniform! Lovely chapter.

The rain is coming down in buckets and John can barely see in front of him as he walks quickly down the street to the surgery. He had been caught unaware this morning, even after Sherlock looked him up and down before he left and said, "That's what you're wearing?"
John had been a bit perturbed by the entire exchange and left without really taking the three extra steps to think backwards from what most people mean when they ask a question to the somewhat irrational and tangential which is most often that to which Sherlock is referring

With fifteen minutes left in his shift, John finishes up a few last minute notes and makes sure he knows when he's working next. He straightens up the top of the desk for the doctor who's got the next shift. Doctor Marvel. Rather aptly named, John thinks; the bloke is far too pleased with his own abilities -- oh, how John longs for an opportunity for Sherlock to put him solidly in his place
