When Having a Super Common Name is Fun
I have a pretty common first and last name so I am used to getting emails at my gmail account meant for someone else with my full name who also has a gmail account. There are apparently QUITE a few of us. One of us lives in Paris (lucky bitch). One of us is a doctor in California. One of us works for a well known auction house in New York. We are EVERYWHERE.
One of us is apparently invited to a bachelorette dinner in Texas this weekend as evident by the evite I mistakenly received today. Not wanting the dinner-planner to think that Sarah was just being rude and not answering the Evite, I emailed him back to say “this email was sent to be in error”. What ensued showed me that having the same name of so many other people can be QUITE entertaining (anonymized, for internet privacy purposes of course!).

Um. This is AWESOME.
That is freakin funny!!!
LOL this happens to me ALL the time bc my name is even worse as jennifer williams*
I actually got an order confirmation, from the girl with my same name, who put in the wrong email on her OWN account! I called her immediately at 11p and told her about it (to stop it). You know, because 11p is the best time to make those calls. lol
*I obviously made my comment annon even though I've commented before w/my blog adddress. ;-)
That is hilarious!
That was nice of DJ to include that photo of Dallas Sarah as compensation for your inconvenience.
Oh, oh, OH. Have I got a gmail mix up story for you. And my name isn't even all that common.
My ex went to email me one day, but instead of addressing the message to mylastname.myfirstname, he reversed it.
The misaddressed email went to a woman in Philly. She responded. They conversed.
Now they date
He is moving there.
YEAH.
HOLY CRAP! I think that story wins.
I'm at a loss for words. *LOL* The picture about says it all. Makes a gal think of the Palace in I think it was Saugus many moons ago...
Haha how much do I love this story - totally random and awesome.
Now my story about how I used to get emails for a "famous" skateboard girl from freaky preteen boys is not the littlest bit interesting.
How incredibly funny!!!!! I am Brittany! I have read you blog for the past couple months (dont know how I found it) and just saw this post today. Sarah is my best friend and David was our neighbor. So, so funny. I was there that night and I am glad that is the only picture that has surfaced.
AHHH that is so funny!!!!! The blog world is a small small small place. Your friends seem super fun!
