Today, I realised I get called “buddy” and “champ” at work more than I get called my actual name, I’m 27. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Unforgettable
Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

Today, I saw a few old co-workers at the bar. They recognized me and started calling me by the nickname they had for me that I was unaware of. It appears I was known as "butch megan" by the entire office for 2 years. FML

Who am I?
Today, after being with the company for over 3 years, I realised nobody really knows my name. This was after my boss was walking around a new staff member and couldn't introduce me. Neither could my colleague, who's been sitting next to me for the last 6 months. FML

This is fine
Today, I started a new job. As I was introducing myself during the morning get together with the team, I forgot how old I was, and panicked. I ended up saying I was "twenty-fine." I’m 27. FML

What's my name again?
Today, I found out that I’ve been greeting a coworker by the wrong name for six weeks. The worst part? They never corrected me because they thought it was funny, especially because it turns out to be their mom's name. FML

With a name like Anonymous, I'd call you, "dude," "chief," or "hey, you."

I mean you've even hidden your name from us, so is it really anyone else's fault but your own that you're given these nicknames?

Dude, maybe the bro doesn't want everybody on the Internet to know his real name, plus if OP uses a nickname, he will get called by it and it will remind him of work.

if it's done by mostly older folk the problem might be with them. There's a guy at my work who uses random nicknames for anyone who hasn't worked here a number of years because he can't remember names.
