Kids: Which one are you?

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

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

Kevin J. Smith will have to get over it, then.

Assign a number by birth date?

Wow. My name is Kevyn C.J. Smith. That's why my first name is spelt with a y not an i

Neither will agree? That's not how nicknames work. I wasn't called Gremlin on school because I looked good. If the Kevins don't like any nick you make up, let the class decide. They'll probably be called ******** and Fuckface for the rest of their school career.

Exactly! You can't just DECIDE that you don't want a nickname!

You can, however, refuse to answer to a nickname which in this case defeats the whole purpose of them being given the name in the first place. You don't have to consent to someone else changing your name.

Make them pay for their similarities by treating them as one person. That'll teach 'em to mess with you!

Try Kevin 1 and Kevin A, that way they are both first. Also, try to pick out facial details, such as spots, etc., and then tell them apart using that. Or ask them for their mother's maiden name or something.
