that moment when you realize that
you have been calling your neighbor ‘phil’ for three years
only to find out that his name is really ‘al.’

I did that– thought she was Catherine but she was Cathleen. Found out when she was telling me about how she’s selling her house. Wonder if I contributed to her not wanting to be here!

That moment when you realize they have been letting you call them Phil and realizing they should have corrected you way long again and now it’s just embarrassing for both but even more for Phil – I mean Al.

exactly it, lulu. i understand both sides of this scenario, and how each has its challenges –

LOL The question is whether or not you’ll remember or just go back to calling him Phil again.

OMG! I did this to a guy named Al but I called him “Mel.” Where I got that I have no idea!! He corrected me when I yelled the wrong name waving my hand at him. I saw him looking around him and I went up to him then and found out what I had been doing?! 😮

Not a great way to find out as my yelling was meant to be a greeting! “Hey, Mel!!” Then a little louder, Hi Mel!! Oh my! People turned to look at me since the man named Al just stared!
