Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
Miss Manners: People mistake me for other people all the time. Sometimes they won’t accept I’m not somebody else.: I have “one of those faces,” the kind where people confuse me for someone else all the time. It’s easy enough to be polite when someone thinks they saw me at karaoke last night, when I was actually home watching a movie.
Most recently, I met someone at a party who insisted we had met at another party, years ago, in a city I have never visited. He then got upset with me when I said I had never even been to that state before and started saying rude things about my home state.
