Adrian Harewood can't trust his coworkers.
If that name doesn't ring a bell, he's a Canadian journalist and the anchor of CBC Ottawa News.

Clearly I can’t trust my @CBCOttawa newsroom colleagues. Unbeknownst to me I walked around the office all day wea… https://t.co/6IMZUFP4WM— Adrian Harewood (@Adrian Harewood) 1551832223.0

One of his coworkers swears she didn't even notice, though.
@CBCAdrianH @CBCOttawa @PnPCBC I didn’t even notice!!!!!— Vassy Kapelos (@Vassy Kapelos) 1551845936.0

He says "no way," but we're sending an investigative team over there STAT.
@RaySuarezNews @CBCOttawa Yeah.... really funny Ray. Really funny!— Adrian Harewood (@Adrian Harewood) 1551834020.0
Soon people chimed in with their own stories of mismatching blunders.
