We have lived in the same house with the same neighbors behind us for 16 years. I called to the husband to get his attention about a tree on the property line. A couple days later his wife was out and I talked to her about an update on the removal, and she kept referring to her husband as Tom. At first I thought I was confused and she was talking about someone else. So I finally asked her, is your husbands name Tom, I called him Joe. She said yes her husbands name was Tom, he had a brother named Joe. I said oh, maybe I met him in the past and that's where I got confused. She said no, you've never met Joe and never will. I don't know what she meant by that, I guess he was to kind to correct me when I called him by his brother's name. I had referred to him as Joe a few times, why I don't know. But boy was I caught off guard and kinda felt weird about the whole thing.
