Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine is called Susie by a coworker :D

A guy at work calls me by my old office-mate's name. I don't really care though.



You mean the Spanish equivalent of William? That's Guillermo.

I didn't put that much thought into it, but yea, I stand corrected. Been many years since my spanish lessons ;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

Did she call you Brandon?

BTW-Love the custom title!!! BWAHAHAHA!!! :D

A lot of old people called me Jason when my name is Justin. Not a big deal, I'm almost at the point where I respond to Jason.

use it to your advantage. Just blame all of your fuckups at work on this Brandon guy, and watch as your boss tries to fire Brandon.

Consider yourself lucky. I have a uni-sex name. When people come looking for me at the office, they are always looking for a girl. And Latinos can never pronounce my name correctly for some reason....

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...
The only one brave enough to do it any more is Perk.

Is it "Casey?"

I'm conditioned to respond to my brother's name because we're twins and people always used our names interchangeably. Around the neighborhood, friends and their families eventually just started saying "Hey, twin!" to get my attention.

Some old guy at work keeps calling me James. He asked me about the other employees names once and I mentioned that the two other guys were both named James. Ever since then, he's called me Jim, James, Jimbo, etc. We finally got name tags the other day and they used my first name instead of the name everyone else knows me by. :/
