Which one are you?

Today, I met my new class. There are two Kevin Smiths. Neither will agree to a nickname, they have the same hair color, and their middle names both start with J. They have told me to call them Kevin 1 and Kevin 2. They both want to be Kevin 1. FML

Prosopagnosia

Today, I called my coworker by the name of another coworker, and now he won’t speak to me. They’re both bald and roughly the same weight and height, so it’s not like I can easily tell them apart. FML

Today, I found out that since there are 3 people with the same name as me at work, I'm known as "the ugly one". FML

Mask confusion

Today, my coworker screamed at me for once again calling her by a different coworker's name. They have the same hair, skin color, and body type, so I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to tell them apart. FML

Today, my very traditional grandmother has decided it's time for me to get married to Kevin. She's called half the town and informed them of the good news. I'm 17. I've never met Kevin. FML

Leave me out of this feud

Today, two girls who are in my class tried to talk to me about each other, not knowing the other had already spoken to me. They are best friends, but also hate each other, and seem to have taken me as the one to shit talk to about each other constantly. FML

Lonesome today

By The unfavorite - 26/10/2022 09:00 - United States

Today, I've noticed a pattern with my classmates: Every time a new student shows up, they are treated by my classmates as though they've known each other for years. Everyone except me. When I first came along, I was more or less a wallflower. No one wanted anything to do with me. The same is true today. FML

Today, I was introduced to my future stepmother, but it turns out that I already know her. Not only are we the same age and went to the same high school, when we were in the same math class together the teacher would often confuse our names because "we could pass as twins". FML

You're the boss. You tell them who is going by what name. It's not really worth wasting your time playing their games :/.

What's wrong with being Kevin 2? He can be called K2 instead, and his nickname will have another meaning! Cool! So then it's settled! Let's just hope that they don't have the exact same personality as well and that one of them is mature enough to just go with something! Why must it be such a big deal?

If you're the teacher, then you settle this yourself instead of FML-ing about it. I bet if you called them by girls names they'd quickly decide who gets called what

As a teacher, you kind of just go with it. You can't force a child to change their name, do you know how personal they are? And obviously you don't just call them girl's names. She should just call then both Kevin but always look at the one you want to talk to. They'll all get used to it eventually.
