My mom bought me a shirt for a gift. She had it made for me. It has my name on the front and a picture of a wolf on the back.
I wore that shirt yesterday but I wasn't thinking that it had my name on it since I'm not use to wearing it.
I was at the store and a man said my name like he was trying to get my attention because he knew me. I said yeah, and he said your name is Margery isn't it. I said yet and examined his face trying to figure out how I knew him and then I decided to see who is was so I would know how I knew him. I asked who are you and then he smiled and said I know you from your shirt. I said oh, I was wondering how you knew my name. He got me good. He was acting like he knew me and then told me how he knew my name. It was embarrassing. I bet he had to tell his friends about that one to make his friends laugh

I bet he had a straight face too while he was looking directly at you. I could see me being fooled as well because it would not have dawned on me about the name on the shirt.
Similar thing happened to me once, see I have vanity plates with my name on them. So I get out the car at a new car wash I had never frequent before and a customer waiting for his car to be cleaned looked at me really serious and said hello with my name and asked how I was, he caught me for a minute and I said, I am fine and you.
I was puzzled thinking how do I know this person it was not until after he left that I put it together. lol

It is funny and embarrassing! It isn't funny to us at the moment but it is later on. The people that tricked us probably still get a laugh about it sometimes when they are amongst their friends trying to think of something funny to talk about.
I hope I don't meet up with him again at someones house that I know. Him saying wow she is the lady that I was telling you about and I know you your the lady.... Thank you for giving the best response. You did a good job sharing your experience!

He did have a straight face to where I thought he really knew me. It could even be someone I went to school with and I just didn't know who he was because of him changing in looks a lot. I didn't know where I could of seen him from. I bet he got a laugh later on from that.I probably looked funny examining him trying to figure out where I seen him from. I bet your situation was funny and embarrassing too. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I'm glad that I got you to laugh. I bet he got a lot of people to laugh too.You're right, I won't forget that my shirt has my name on it and will probably not wear it out of the house again .

That was funny and embarrassing at the same time that I fell for that .I was afraid that I was going to run into him again in the store while I was finishing up my shopping.That would be embarrrassing too .

Lol this discussion made me smile, you are right, if a person wears a shirt having name printed or engraved, all those see the person wearing it, will take it to be his/her name.
but there are shirts available that have names printed over them..
for me no problem, i wear sari, blouse you see..
Thanks for sharing
Cheers.
God bless you, have a nice day ahead.
