I haven't say hi or anything to my guy friend like I used to. Then today I saw him and he smiled at me and I said, "Hey Chris." and he reply back with, "hey, what up." I was walking with my friend and then I told her that his name was Nick NOT Chris. Geez I hope he didn't realize I called him by the wrong name. She laughed at me and I felt so embarrassed. THAT NEVER HAPPEN before!

Tell me your story.

All the time. It would be like "Karen" when I'm talking to "Jess". (Names made up for examples)

Yes, I hate it when the teacher makes us peer mark because there is always those random kids in the class I have no idea who they are and I always get their paper.

Then I hand it back to the wrong person and they're insulted.

All the time. I had a whole lengthy conversation with a girl I kept calling 'Jess' and her name was actually 'Cassie'. I was embarrassed, but I don't know why she left it till the end of the conversation to tell me I was calling her by the wrong name.

I have this friend, in some of my lectures and tutorials. Me and my other friend had both taken to calling him Jennifer early on, and recently we both realized, We didn't actually KNOW his real name... we'd been calling him Jennifer for so long his actual name was.

We only recently found out it's Thomas. But Jennifer suits him better.
