This happened to me recently, there’s a group of people confusing me for a humanitarian artist because I stood up for her in front of the wrong people, and now I notice my copyrights/trademarks are intertwined with hers because the misconception is socially innate.

    Absolutely nothing happened. She just said “sorry I mistook you for someone else” and I never saw her again.

    Though I do remember I once mistook a random guy for one of my friends and showed him a meme. Then I realized he wasn’t my friend and he said “Sorry I’m not that guy, good meme though”

    I was waiting at the train station, and some guy was coming up the elevator and yelled “Aaaaaaah!” in fear when he saw me. Then he came running up to me and asked me if I was his ex, and when I said I was not he asked me if I was sure. Um, yes.

    I was at my grandma’s funeral. My great uncle who I hadn’t seen in a couple years is wandering around and sees me. His eyes light up with excitement, he looks at me and excitedly asks Stewart? He then looked very sad and let down when I said no.

    Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t have just said yes. It seemed like it would’ve made him very happy when he was obviously already going through a tough time. To this day we still have no idea who Stewart is
