Me and another guy at the company I work for both have the same somewhat uncommon first name and are involved in a lot of things that have people reach out to us for assistance frequently. Every couple months I'll get an email or instant message asking about something he does and I'll be like "Oh, you want the other ".

We hugged and went our ways.
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.
My daughter says, โMumโ
I said, โIโm not mumโ
My daughter replied, โI meant dadโ
"you know, the hairier one"
I don't understand your situation or how it lead to copyright mixups?
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.
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
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 am bald with a beard and glasses. So everyone thinks I am their friend with the same properties and completely different face.
I constantly get asked if I am Seth Rogan online. I had no idea who that guy was. They thought I was trying to deflect. I don't watch TV or Movies. So I had to look him up. I guess he is some dude known for smoking marijuana or something. I don't think I sound anything like him.
Well folks, this guy's definitely Seth Rogan.
That's exactly what they would say too.
The worst part is I can't help but read all your comments in his voice now. That's on you...
Maybe you are reading them in my voice.
