Mistaken identity of the WORST kind!

Weird encounter with patient I had never met while on my way to the bathroom.

Patient:
Hey there sweetheart! Long time no see!

Bee:
Uh hi. [trying not to appear rude while I start walking towards the front door][then thinking it would be more rude to stand in a puddle]

Patient:
It’s hot out there today. I wonder if it’s going to be like that all summer!

Bee [starting to wiggle]:
Yeah hot summer.

Patient:
Is your father here yet or is he on his way?

Bee [freeze say what??]:
My father? I’m sorry, what?

Patient:
You’re dad is he here yet?

Bee [looking around whahuh?]:
I’m wondering who you think my father is.

Patient:
Isn’t it OZ?

Bee  (:-O :
Oh hell no! I mean nooooo. He’s just my boss.

Patient:
Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you said he was your dad.

Bee:
Honestly sir, I don’t think I’ve ever met you.

Patient:
Sure you’ve met me. At that restaurant? When you were having dinner with OZ?

Bee:
EWWWWWWW! No! You definitely have me confused with somebody else.

Patient:
Oh hey. Maybe we should forget this conversation ever took place.

Bee:
Easy for you to say! I’m now going to have nightmares!

I walked back to my desk and Milton asked me why I looked like I was about to throw up.

This encounter freaked me out for a couple of reasons. One is the fact that I resemble someone OZ was ““having dinner with”” because he only has SONS! The other is the fact that I have an urge to peel my skin right off and then dunk myself in acid. ::shiver::

STILL SHIVERING!

    hmmmm...he called you sweetheart. He must be over 80 or think your 12. Oz is a cool nickname though.

    I hate it when someone interrupts my bathroom run. Then I forget where I'm going.

    When I was 17 and working at the butcher shop I was helping a mature lady carry her packages out to her car. She asked me how long I had been working with my husband. I was a tad confused because the only other employee in the store while she was there was a 78 year old butcher. So instead of asking her when the last time she has an eye exam was or how it was growing up on a cult compound I simply said "Not too long, we're newlyweds."

    I'm sure it could have been worse - they could have mistaken you for one of the bats.

    I've been reading a book about a changeling. The mother swaps her daughter at birth for another baby in the hospital. The rejected daughter later goes on a killing spree.

    You don't look like Phillip Seymour Hoffman by any chance, do you?

    First, eww. But second, total opportunity! "Hey Oz. The funniest thing happened today! Mrs. CrazyClient thought I was your 'daughter' because she mistook me for someone you took out to dinner Friday. Isn't that funny, especially since you don't have any daughters? It's a good thing nobody else heard her or it might have gotten back to your family!" Pause. "Hey Oz, did you think about that raise we were talking about earlier?"

    Okay, so I would never do that, but still, it's something to make oblique comments to him about...

    It could have been worse. You could have been mistaken for OZ himself.
