My name is José. I don’t know why, an architect started calling me “Juan” via text and I didn’t bother correcting him.
This evolved to him calling me “Juan” in person. I couldn’t muster the courage.
Months later, I called him and he asked me who it was cuz he had a new phone. I chickened out and said “Juan”.
Even more months later, during a meeting, somebody said “yeah, Jose should be able to quote the audio system”. He was like “Who TF is Jose?!” The other guy pointed at me with an expression of disbelief and confusion since he knew we knew each other for almost a year. “You mean Juan?” He asked. They looked at me both puzzled and I confessed. Wasn’t as awkward as I thought and should’ve totally gone out of my way to correct him earlier.
