However, Brandon is nowhere near my name. I thought at first it was just a one time mistake, but it's not. The funny thing is that we all have shirts that have our names on them... we almost look like mechanics. He may just be messing with me.

I guess the point of all this is that I don't plan on correcting it anytime soon. He really is quite old though so I think this will eventually solve itself. :hmm:

I once met a guy who renamed everyone depending on what they made him think of, and kept the names even after learning the right ones.

He's just messing with you brandon

I had a guy liked to do that years ago, and solved the issue by the simple expedient of never answering or responding to him in any way until he addressed me properly.

If you aren't correcting him, then he probably will just think it's correct and continue calling you Brandon.

LOL! Everyone is calling you Brandon, even though you made a thread about being called Brandon when that isn't your real name!

It's funny because it isn't true!


Edit: Brandon

I never thought I'd have a custom title here... *le sigh* It could be worse.

Now who would do such a thing... :hmm: I'd put money on Hayabusa for multiple reasons...

Maybe he has a touch of Dyslexia? He thinks your real name is Nodnarb?

Might that be correct Brandon?

you people all look the same. :p

Funny story, I was at a furniture store w/ my parents a few months back. While my dad and I were walking around one of the black lady employees started asking me if I found the bed I was looking for. I had never talked to this lady before, and I sure wasn't looking for a bed. After teller her this she's all "Oh my I'm so sorry! You look like somebody else I was helping." My dad whispers "I guess we all look the same huh?" I loled... hard
