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.

    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.

    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 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.
