Today, I saw a few old co-workers at the bar. They recognized me and started calling me by the nickname they had for me that I was unaware of. It appears I was known as "butch megan" by the entire office for 2 years. FML

Today, I was creeping on an old coworker's Facebook and noticed they'd tagged my face in an old group photo as another girl. According to the comments, the girl they'd tagged me as thought it was her too. I worked there for two years and nobody mentioned the mistake. FML

Unforgettable

Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

Who am I?

Today, after being with the company for over 3 years, I realised nobody really knows my name. This was after my boss was walking around a new staff member and couldn't introduce me. Neither could my colleague, who's been sitting next to me for the last 6 months. FML

Today, I realized that I've been using the wrong name for a coworker for the past 6 months. I just found out their real name when I saw their name tag. FML

Today, the person that interviewed me for a job was the same person I called a "fat bitch" at a baseball game after she knocked over my drink while she was dancing. She recognized me too. FML

Today, I was at the store when I ran into an old friend from high school. He didn't recognize me at first, but when I told him who I was, he instantly shouted "Oh! Yeah! The fat chick from Mr. H's class!" FML

Today, I realised I get called “buddy” and “champ” at work more than I get called my actual name, I’m 27. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend from college on the bus to work. Having not seen each other in over 10 years, we spent a good 15 minutes talking about our lives after college. At the end, he asked me what my name was. FML

Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML

You should have been like "Butch Megan? That's it?! That's a relief. I'd feel dirty repeating the nicknames I'd heard about you guys back in the office."

That's awful. I had a stripper nickname I didn't know about but everyone referred to me as, even my mom. But the FML is already over, you see. You can just walk away now.

There are worse nicknames - "Crazy Meghan" "Slutty Meghan" "Chunky Meghan" - Look, "Butch" only means that you don't wear make-up regularly. People are weird. If you are 1/1000th of a tomboy they will pick up on it. Don't take it badly, if they didn't like you, they wouldn't be you friends and meet you for drinks after work. PLUS, you will need them as references if you ever decide to look for a new job so don't BURN YOUR BRIDGES. Signed, "Crazy, Butch, Homicidal, Nasty, Slutty, Sarcastic, Evil, Hitler-Reincarnated D"

exactly, it's totally steryotype and pisses me off some one called me butch, I'd take it as a compliment, at least then I know they don't think I'm a push over

Eh, that's OK as long as you don't care. They're not your co-workers anymore by the sound of it, so just move on.... Also, I never wear makeup, am a total tomboy, and still get called 'hot/pretty' often so being a tomboy isn't always bad!

somehow I feel as if this anecdote could have possibly been fabricated using the 'butch Megan' character from the movie 'bridesmaids' that recently came out. hmmmmm....
