My mom's name is Josie. One time a telemarketer called and asked for "Jose" and my mom was like... "Wrong number." And would hang up. Josie is clearly a woman's name... I still don't understand.
My name's Goldia, lmao, and whenever that happens it's almost guaranteed they'd mispell it. Once, (omfg I don't even know how this could happen), the dude asked me to repeat my name three times and then this happened: 'Kowldee' and I'm like 'waht'. Other times it's 'Godia' or 'Goldya' or 'Cloudia' or 'Goldee' or 'COLDEEN' and in the end I just say 'G' to simplify things. Dx
Wait wait wait No I even had a new student come this year and when I introduced myself, he asked me to repeat my name and asked me why I was named that, and then I replied with 'how the hell would I know' and he said 'wow, your parents must really hate you or something.' I was laughing the whole time and gave him the hardest back slap I could muster.
My sister's name is Rosalinda Candy. (Don't mock the last name, it's the English version of our French surname!) And when she goes to work, people call her 'Porn Star' because apparently, Rosalinda Candy sounds like the name of a porn star!
My friends name is Eimile and she's extremely self conscious about people pronouncing her name wrong In Spanish the teacher was doing role, then she came to Eimiles name and said," Emeal? Eei milley? How do you say it?" Eimile replied," it's pronounced Emily but spelled e I mile." Our teacher starting laughing and said," Wow... Your parents really screwed you with that one!" Eimile looked like she was going to slap her in the face but I couldn't stop laughing
There was once this kid in my Year 11 class called Taimur, he was asian but everybody thought he was french because of his name. One day, in an EXAM, Taimur burped and somebody yelled "Too many croissants!" And that kid was removed from the exam. I know it's not funny that he missed out on a grade, but if you were there, the whole exam hall was laughing!
I got in trouble for: gettin on one knee, grabbing my teachers hand, and asking him to prom ... I was like a class clown my senior year
I really enjoy the coffee, but they forgot to spell my name as well. It's usually.... 1. "Skeylr" 2. "Kii" 3."Skwayer" Or something like that. It's supposed to be "Sky" or "Skyler", so I usually just make them draw a cloud or something else to remind me. The coffee is great though. Love the smoothies.
How traumatic, having your name spelled wrong at a restaurant. They should pay for the psychiatric treatments! Those monsters I hope they burn in hell.
