Have any of you ever been mistaken for one of your parents - on the phone

[TwinkleToes77]

Title pretty much sums it up. Have you ever received a phone call and then asked if you were your mom or dad.. or someone calling for you and asked if your mom/dad were home.

PS. Kavlin has....

He was mistaken for his mom! :Q

 

[erikistired]

muhahahahahahahaha.

 

[scrawnypaleguy]

every single time i answer the phone, they think it's my dad. gets annoying.

 

[Mermaidman]

No, but people often mistake me for the answering machine. Do I really sound that robotic?

 

[Kalvin00]

lol, kavlin is a silly mother ******

 

[xSauronx]

anytime i answer the phone at work, or at my parents home, im mistaken for my father.

a few times ive answered and someone was looking for him, and they just say "hey..." and start talking.

i let em go on a minute or two

I have a high tenor voice and am *always* mistaken to be a woman.

 

[mugs]

Mistaken for dad, male. Also mistaken for both of my brothers.

Sound clip?

 

[jadinolf]

Just the opposite. I am almost always mistaken for my son. I can have a lot of fun when I feel a little devilish.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I'm mistaken for my Dad all the damn time on the phone.

 

[jagec]

My grandpa used to call me by my dad's name towards the end.

 

[spaceghost21]

When I was 10-12 , I was confused for my mom. Now I am always confused for my dad.

 

[hans030390]

16 and I'm confused with my dad...in fact, it just happened today. I'm sure to correct them withing 2 seconds though.

 

[nageov3t]

nope. my voice is too deep to be mistaken for a woman and my dad has a french accent.

my sister gets mistaken for my mom all the time, though.

 

[ohtwell]

Nope! I've had the opposite of that. I had someone ask if my mom or dad was home the other day. I responded to this by saying, no I'm an adult and then told her I wasn't interested in anything she was selling.

[neonerd]

When I was around 13ish I was still being mistaken for my mom...after that mistaken for Dad all the time. (17 now)

See I use that to my advantage.. I always get the "is your mom or dad home" so its a red flag that they are selling something.. I just respond and say "no, they cant come to the phone right now" and hang up

 

[xanis]

Everyone always thinks that I'm my dad when I answer... *shrugs*

 

[imported_LoKe]

For my dad, or brother every time.

 

[imported_Tick]

Yeah, I get mistaken for my Dad, and my uncle on the phone.
I get mistaken for my mom, because her first name is Robin, and sometimes people don't know.

I also occasionally pretend to be my parents, it makes calling people like COMCAST easier.

 

[SViper]

I used to get mistaken for my dad even after I say my name on the phone. It's probably because I have the same name as him (i'm the 3rd).

 

[VanTheMan]

I was always mistaken for my dad when I lived at home. Probably because my dad and I have the same name. After awhile, his friends who called would ask for "Big Van."

 

[HardcoreRobot]

no, but i do have solicitors asking if my parents are home when i answer the door to my house - im 24

 

[Jeff7]

Yes. Repeatedly. My voice is very similar to my dad's.
