ive got what has turned into a serious irritation. I dont mumble, i speak very well. Many people have told me that before.
for the past year it seems that when i say "hi, my name is Matt" people hear " hi, my name is Ben." at first i thought it was kind of funny, but it happens so frequently im starting to think its some kind of weird inside joke amongst everyone but me.
how the hell do you get Ben out of Matt.
anyone else have this problem?
Actually everyone thinks I say Mike instead of Marc. I can see that is alot closer than Matt-Ben. But it happened to me yesterday, so I figured I would start yelling my name from now on.
You damn kids need to quit mumbling! ::OldMan::
With a name like Mick, I get Mark, Mike, Mac, Sparky, and a few others that I forget. ;)
Perhaps you look like a Ben? For some reason, people have mistakenly called me Scott throughout the years. A few times people have told me "you look like a Scott"... what ever that meets.
Dick? :punchout:;)Quote:

The one that really pisses me off is when people call me Bill after I tell them my name is William. If I'm lucky, their name is Richard and I can call them Dick.

Ben
I always get David instead of Daniel
Back in my younger days, I was often mistaken for some guy named "Hey You!
Just go with Lazlo!
The problem is that your Mother never told you about your evil twin brother:(
When I tell people my real name, Studley Hungwell, they usually just want to call me Stud for short and 10 inches for long. So I go by an AKA most of the time.
Hey, you work at the mule barn, don't you!:tooth:Quote:
