Unfiltered Story #285298

I’m shopping and looking at some fruits and vegetables when another customer is repeating over and over “For sure, that won’t be (not my name).” After a while, it gets quite irritating and I’m annoyed at (not my name) for not reacting. It is then that I realize three things:
1/ I’m shopping in an area where my mothers relatives live,
2/ I’m often been told that, despite some big differences such as long and short hair, I’m very much alike my youngest aunt, only six year my senior,
3/ my aunt is called (not my name)

Before they can repeat “For sure, that won’t be (not my name).” for the umpteenth time, I turn and tell them I’m not (not my name) but the eldest of (mum). The customer and her companion hurried away.

I checked later and it turns out, both customers were probably family but family relations on that side are a bit complicated with two step relations in different generations (all before me) and for some of the step relations, my generation isn’t really family which is probably why they removed themselves so quickly.
