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.
My daughter says, “Mum”
I said, “I’m not mum”
My daughter replied, “I meant dad”
“you know, the hairier one”
“Hi, not mom, I’m daughter!”
Same thing that always happens, I got asked where something was in a store I don’t work at.
Doesn’t matter what I wear, apparently I just scream “retail employee”. It’s gotten depressing, kinda.
Try wearing a T shirt ‘I am not an employee at this shop’
“Haha great joke! So where can I find the updog?”
What’s up, dawg?
I get this sometimes if i wear my black work polo to a shop after i finish work, though i take a small bit of satisfaction in saying ‘yeah no idea mate’ and turn and walk off and keep browsing. They usually stare for a few seconds with mouth open before they realise the assumption/mistake they have made
I don’t understand your situation or how it lead to copyright mixups?
I am bald with a beard and glasses. So everyone thinks I am their friend with the same properties and completely different face.
Simon? Simon whistler?
Wait no, Michael
Was out at a bar with my gf and another girl friend. Some random guy put his arm across my shoulder from behind and pulled up into my view, went “Heyyy prett- whoawhoa” cue nervous/awkward laugh. I guess, to him, I was the prettiest of the three girls until he realised there were only two girls and a guy hah
Back in the summer I had been to the shops, done my shopping and sat in my car downloading podcasts to have easier access to them on carplay, when a 10-12 year old girl opened the backdoor on my car.
I just said “wrong car” to her, she looked shocked, closed the door and walked to her mom standing by a nearly idendical Seat Leon, just a few parking spots further down.
We hugged and went our ways.
