The Neighbor Is Brian, Not Steve

I have lived next to the same guy for 3 years. Thought his name was Steve. I call him Steve. His name is Steve in my phone. I’ve been to his apartment. We’ve had dinner. His name is Brian. His dog is Steve.

A person describes being close friends with their neighbor for three years while mistakenly believing his name is Steve. The punchline is that the neighbor is actually Brian, and Steve is the neighbor’s dog, making the narrator’s confident misunderstanding absurd. People send this as a reaction to embarrassing confusion or getting someone’s identity completely wrong.
