Twitter can be a tough place. Hashtags are hard, @ replies make life challenging and it’s possible to tweet the wrong person. @avonsassy has reached new heights of confusion by mixing me up with her grandmother, who is apparently caring for her dog. No amount of logic or photo including my bearded face will keep this teen from her pup.
Here’s the story of how I was mistaken for her grandmother, and a horrible one at that. @avonsassy provides some colorful language, so if that’s an issue at work, use Pocket and read it later.
@nan my dad told me to tweet you bc he wants to get the dog ok ty

@avonsassy this is going to be embarrassing for you soon. Are you tweeting by Braille?

@avonsassy I’ve never loved your dog nor did I EVER feed it.

At this point, my friends start seeing the silliness and are responding, too…
@ineedlisa @avonsassy is also being too cheeky towards a person she believes is her grandmother. I hope her nan grounds her for her mouth. — Nan Palmero, MBA (@nan) May 30, 2013
@nan @avonsassy I can understand how she would get you confused with her grandmother. #mustbethebeard — Lisa Hernandez, MBA (@ineedlisa) May 30, 2013
@ineedlisa @avonsassy *rubs beard* no one will ever guess I’m an 80 year old woman.
— Nan Palmero, MBA (@nan) May 30, 2013

—(@avonsassy) May 30, 2013
.@avonsassy what would happen if I told you that I don’t love you back and never will?
— Nan Palmero, MBA (@nan) May 30, 2013

—(@avonsassy) May 30, 2013
.@avonsassy you’ve not been invited.
— Nan Palmero, MBA (@nan) May 30, 2013

—(@avonsassy) May 30, 2013
.@avonsassy have you figured out that I’m not your grandmother yet? I might still have your dog.

My pal, @rjamestaylor, wraps up the story with a pretty bow…
Truly @nan is a great friend, savvy marketer, and knowledgeable guy, but he’s a horrible, horrible grandmother
