I've heard of this happening abroad...I personally have never encountered it...
Stranger: Where are you from?
You: Canada.
Stranger: Oh! Do you know (insert name)?
I didn't realize though that this also happens from within.
I just received a phone call.
Stranger: Hi. Is Mr. Philiped there?
Me: Sorry, you have the wrong number.
Stranger: Ok. Hey, I'm from ALBERTA. Do you know how I could get ahold of Philiped?
Me: Nope. Sorry. I have no idea who that is.
Stranger: Ok. Thanks anyways.
Within Canada...good grief.
But being as it's Christmas time...I will help:
Mr. Philiped, a guy in Alberta is trying to get ahold of you. Message me for his number.

Haha. I have totally had that happen to me. The worst thing was that I actually knew the person they asked me about, reinforcing the stereotype that we all know each other. Rose
Haha! I've had the 'oh, you're from winnipeg? do you know so-and-so?' happen so many times and there have been a handful of times where I've actually known the people. Funny.
