Maybe 8 months ago we got a new cleaning guy at work, at first he started calling me Nick. I didn't correct him because Nick was standing there and we thought it was funny, figuring that eventually someone would set him straight. That never happened and now here we are 8 months later and he legitimately thinks that is my name, he calls after 'Nick' in the hallway and I turn and answer to him, we've had entire conversations with him referring to me as Nick. Is there any way I can come out of this situation not looking like an enormous rear end in a top hat now? Help me GBS you are my only hope.

sounds like your only option is to transition and legally change your name, and have him call you by that name

if you ever had a conversation with him that lasted longer than a few minutes, you would have already brought this up with him. so if the only interaction you have with him is briefly pausing in the hallway, then you can afford to be called nick for one minute a day.

I have, he told me all about his gambling problem and alluded to owing some shady people money. Our previous cleaning was Puerto Rican but this new one is American which is actually really weird.

Real talk pull the guy aside and tell him you aren't Nick. You just froze up on correcting him and felt awkward ever since. It's that easy. If he asks why you waited so long just tell him you are socially awkward and didn't know how to.

How often do you interact with your cleaning dude? Who gives a gently caress.

JiveHonky posted:its nice to finally meet u k8, heard so much about you! I'm really enjoying the mild neural implants you put in me when I was in the emergency. And I understand and remember everything that happened. This still leaves the question of money for both YOU and ME and MASE. Pat can not get the ALL the women and ALL the money in this adventure, and I suppose that's why I've been contracted in. Mostly though manyak is pretty hurt by all of this, so I'm going to be sticking it out with him and our agreement that was on discord about a month ago. @caro_ witnessed this and gave it her okay. Kasia is pretty hosed from all of this, so we're all hoping she doesn't off herself suddenly when the drugs/mania spell from bipolar wears off. Her family needs to watch her closely. Especially if she gets charged. It is probably in her best interests to quagmire the whole assignment/operation whatever word you want to call it, forgive herself, and move forward in peace. She wants to live the more blood for the blood god fantasy though so I suppose I'm a dead man walking or she's in for a real shock. I hope people are watching out for her.

Does your real name rhyme with "Nick"? Could it be... oh, I dunno... perhaps something like ahhh... is your name actually DICK, by any chance? I think maybe the whole " cleeaner" scenario is just cunning subterfuge, a clever ruse, whereby you wanted to ask us for help in not looking like a dick since your name is actually dick and you look like one every day, but were too embarrassed to tell us that. *nods, on top of the situation* The jig is up, OP... or DICK, I should say!!
