This happened to me recently, there's a group of people confusing me for a humanitarian artist because I stood up for her in front of the wrong people, and now I notice my copyrights/trademarks are intertwined with hers because the misconception is socially innate.
Same thing that always happens, I got asked where something was in a store I don't work at.
Doesn't matter what I wear, apparently I just scream "retail employee". It's gotten depressing, kinda.
