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.

We hugged and went our ways.

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.

My daughter says, โ€œMumโ€

I said, โ€œIโ€™m not mumโ€

My daughter replied, โ€œI meant dadโ€

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'

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.

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.

[โ€“] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Well folks, this guy's definitely Seth Rogan.

[โ€“] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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...

[โ€“] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 1 points 11 hours ago

Maybe you are reading them in my voice.
