Lifes awkward moments: How do you tell someone that...
 

How do you tell someone that you are who they think you are?

setup:
You bump into someone you sort of know, like from your building/street or the supermarket or something. You say hi, just being friendly, and they begin talking to you like you are a close friend. They mention a few names you don't know and you suddenly realize they think you are someone else...Do you just try to get going and forget it? or do you say something? This happened to me recently, I just said i was in a rush and got the hell out of there lol what do you say? excuse me but I don't know what the fuck you are talking about?

Nobody?:(

I guess you've been owned by the 'Just for Laugh' crew. Wait for your face to appear on TV. :)

I think you're missing the word "not" :winkwink:

You don't. Why should you, they will walk away feeling stupid. Just wrap it up quickly and walk away.

Depending on the mood I'm in I might play with them a little.

Perhaps I would say, 'oh yeah, (name_they_mentioned) I heard that person never really liked you. Ever since, you know, well...you know...'

And then I would just walk away.


And honestly, on the right day, this IS something I would do.

Depends on how anti-social you are. You could just walk away, or you could rub it in... hehe

You should ask to borrow some money. When they don't get it back, they'll just tell friends that "so and so" still owes them money and the other guy will deal with it. :winkwink:

GREAT idea. Headed to the city tomorrow. If I get some cash we can all go to dinner.

it's weird. But it has happened to us all... I think you just let them go on and on until you can escape...

I'd pick a random name out of a hat and say "Ok Not your name, I gotta go".

i let them know they have me confused with someone else. i have no problems with it.

I just ignore them or should I tell them that they've made a mistake and go on with what I am doing.

i'll tell him im just an illusion. i don't exist in reality. :1orglaugh
politely, ill tell him that he is committing a big mistake :)
