Just realized my neighbor thinks I'm a glass guy who does wonders

My neighbor saw me change a cracked window. Now he thinks I can fix any glass thing, even a busted phone. At a get-together, he called me the 'glass guy' who does wonders. I had to explain we just install glass, not perform tricks. It's awkward but kinda silly.

Politely clarify your limits now before he asks you to fix his broken oven door.

Politely clarify your limits" is solid advice from @aaronburns, but sometimes people just need a hand. Why assume the worst right away?

Wait, the oven door thing is so weirdly specific it feels like a real story. Like did someone actually get asked to fix an oven door after helping with one small thing? That's how it always starts, they ask for a tiny favor and next thing you know you're their free repair person. I mean you gotta shut that down fast before they think you're cool with rewiring their house. People really do have the nerve to ask for the wildest stuff.
