I was reading over the how to get kicked out of walmart thread and something else pop in my head.

Have you ever gone into a business/store your minding your own business and some one comes up to you and starts asking you where something is and your like I don't know. The person like but don't you work here.
I don't know why it happen but it does I will share


A few years ago I was at our local Wal mart during Christmas time. Wal-Mart workers wore shirts that said walmart on them and kaki pants for work clothing not just the blue shirts that our local one can wear now.
So anyway I am in the Christmas section because if they put out the singing stuff toys and display well guess who is going to push all the buttons and turn them on.... THIS GIRL!

So I was Mess....Testing out some of the creatures when this lady kept glaring at me. I looked up and thought what is her prob. She stands there for like 5 mins and clears her throat and taps her toes. All this time I am ignoring her and looking at the Christmas stuff.

Finally she walks over to me taps me on the shoulder and is like Do I need to get a manager on you? I was like why what did I do?
She like well you hear me clearing my throat and tapping my foot tring to get your attention. I was like and why did you need me? She like well you work here right I need help finding things and its YOUR job to locate them.

I was like Lady I don't work here. I was not even wearing blue or kaki anything. I had black pants a anime shirt on and a bag with I think Naruto on it and a hat.
She like Oh well I thought you worked her and she stormed off.

To this day iono why she thought I worked there no name badge no work clothing it baffles me.

I have many more stories. Do you have one???
 
I've mistaken a few people from employees before but I'm not rude about it.

My biggest blunder was mistaking some lady for my boyfriend. See he had just made himself a Robin shirt and he has such long, lovely hair and I was talking to him and I was gonna ask him a question and all I saw was a flash of red and long black hair, so I say "baby" and kiss his shoulder, not realizing that he had wandered into another isle....there was a lot of apologizing on my part. I dunno who was more embarrassed! Me or that poor lady! Needless to say, I didn't show up at that particular wal-mart for several weeks.:oops:
 
Wow, Ology, it sounds like that lady was a you know what and just felt like picking a fight or something. Or maybe she thought if she stayed angry it would make her look less stupid. I would have been like, "just so you know, you are still stupid!"

Ah, Whisper, I feel for ya. I can't tell you how many times I've mistaken people for my bf. I haven't gotten to the point where I've touched somebody, but I've started talking to people or called to people. You poor thing. I could feel the embarassment oozing from your story! But don't worry. Things happen. I can't see any nice, respectable person holding it against you.

I think the only thing that's happened to me is I've gotten mistaken for a boy many, many times. I have short hair and dress in baggy pants and star wars t-shirts. I'm not very fashionable, lol. I once had a lady freak as I walked into the women's restroom. I didn't even notice her yelling at me, I thought she was talking to some guy nearby. Then my boyfriend turned to the lady and said, "That's not a man...." and she turned instantly purple. I felt so bad for her.
 
I had some guy grab me at an airport and hug on me. And he starts weeping, "I've missed you so much!" I was simultaneously trying to escape and console him, if that makes any sense. Finally I pried him off and told him,. "I'm not who you think I am." and he was just flat perplexed. Then before he can say anything another girl, who looked astonishingly like me (or I like her, i guess) shows up and starts hollering for him in joy. He and I both jaw dropped. THAT was who he thought I was. He was looking for his sister and had been in Europe for three years. She and I could've passed for twins. And the really weird part, we were both named "Rebecca".

So odd. She was very nice, and him... poor guy was mortified. But hey, once I saw his sister, I could understand his confusion. We were incredibly similar, right down to our hair colour.

Isn't she your long lost evil twin sister who thought she killed you and plans to destroy the world in order to just be famous? lol
 
I was at Walmart and went to look for my brother. Since he likes all sports I went to look for him there. He was wearing a green shirt that said MEXICO on it (yeah, hardcore soccer fan sibling) and, well.... There was this guy that had the same shirt and I went and said WHERE WERE YOU, BRO? And he was all like :blink:WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? In a deep deep voice. And where was my bro? Right next to me all the time. I forgot that his shirt said "CHICHARITO 22" or something, but the other guy's shirt said only MEXICO. And I keep on doing these mistakes :tongue:

Or maybe I thought I killed her. Mayyyyyybe.

:winkpony:

My mom did once tell my niece that the small mound of dirt under the house was a daughter named Felicia who never minded. My niece totally freaked out, thinking there was someone dead buried under the house. Lucky the kid didn't call the cops!
 
When I and my cousins were younger, something like that happened. Only that my cousin and I told her little sis that we killed a rabbit and hid it under her playhouse. She got so scared she never wanted to go back. Bad idea to tell her, because the plan backfired tho. She called 911 to find the bunny and to burn her house. Of course, they never came, as she used a toy phone LOL
 
There is a supermarket in my area that is popular with elderly people, and I like to shop there too. The workers there wear red shirts. So this elderly lady sees me in a red shirt and says really loudly "Does she work here!?" A younger woman shopping with the lady had to explain that I was jut wearing red and I didn't work there. Now when I shop there I wear my cartoon shirts.

Cousin Gullible: "Hello, Elmo? Just found out there's an evil dead rabbit under my house."
Elmo: "I love to bathe!"
Cousin Gullible: "Me too! Hurry and dry off and come help me burn this place to the ground!"
 
Today I went to the goodwill and was looking over the Halloween costumes and stuff they had. I am in a MLP shirt black pants and my ever after high bag with a hat with pony pins on it. For some reason this old lady kept asking me if buggies that work just all over the place wear for outside only. I looked at her and was like I don't know. She replayed Don't you work here.

I was polite until she reach out to touch me. I backed off quickly and shot her a look and Said no Ma'am I do not and I walked away. I do not like being touch and I have been know to hit someone out of a reflex if so. So I did not want to cause a scene or have her touch me more.
 
I wear scrubs at work and apparently according to popular opinion that must mean I am a walking directory of EVERY physician in the state o_O I work in an office building on a hospital campus. We are a private practice and not actual hospital employees but I can't get the mail or walk to my car without people stopping me for directions, or asking me where Dr so-&-so is located. I try to be polite but people look at me like I'm an idiot, purposely not trying to help them. I happen to know a few other Drs and practices there just because I've been there a long while and have seen them around but it amazes me how people just expect it or get all huffy and puffy when I can't help them. I mean my scrub top has our company name on it, which is CLEARLY an OB/GYN and yet, someone will come ask me where some rheumatologist is. I dunno and unless you're having trouble with your lady-parts or want to know where the cafeteria is, I can't help you!

You just killed me with laughter. This just made my day! :D
 
I've been mistaken as a employee of places once before, and I still helped the people asking me questions xDD

But I made sure they knew I wasn't an employee that way they can't expect any obligations by me helping them or blame me for stuff if it happens to be incorrect

I think I recall it being a positive situation they weren't all angry and stupid over it, but if I were them I'd be baffled that another customer was able to help them more than an actual employee xDD I know I was pretty baffled.

I think I've mistaken people as employees of places before as well and they just informed me that they weren't and I felt silly and embarrassed a bit~
 
I don't get mistaken for anyone, but I do frequently get mistaken for being a teenager. The proprietor of one of the charity shops I went to commented that her daughter had a lot of ponies when she was little, but that I'm probably too young to have had them myself as a child. It happened at the local gaming convention a few weeks ago too, when a lady actually had to ask me how old I was before she'd let me into the Mortal Kombat display area. Frankly, I don't mind the confusion – the older I get, the more flattered I am by it.

I've never mistaken anyone for am employee either, probably because the stores here all have very distinct uniforms. Also because I almost never ask for help when I go shopping. But I have once mistaken someone else for my boyfriend... and it was in his own house, at that. I had been dating him for only a week or two at the time, and he had a friend of his over. I went to the bathroom, and as I came back into his room, I saw a guy bending over, butt in the air. Thinking it was him, I pinched it. It was not him. I tried to pretend it didn't happen, but I was pretty embarrassed. Thankfully my boyfriend had no idea and never found out about it.
 
This story is not me but my mom. She was getting a hair cut I was about 12 at the time and was waiting for my turn. This lady who was very Husky came in and sat by my mom while she was waiting for the timer to go off saying her hair coloring was to be washed out. Apparently this lady and mom got to talking and in the middle of the conversation my mom was like" So when is your baby due?" The lady look at my mom like she had two heads and eight arms. She is like " I am not pregnant" she then walk over to get her hair cut.
My mom was beat red and I was laugh so hard. My mom made a vow never to ask anyone if they are pregnant again. True story unless they are a family member mom has kept her Vow.
