And while we're on it: "I had a man tell me..."

So this dude didn't tell you this on their own, but instead you made them tell you this?

"I had a [noun] [verb]" is a perfectly fine colloquialism for "a [noun] [verbed] (in a way that affected me)." It's very common in the parts of the US I've lived in, at least.

Hmm yeah. I was looking at it from a narrow perspective that didn't take popularity into account. Good point. Americans basically set the standards for the English language in the modern era, so that way would be the correct way to go about it nowadays wouldn't it?
