Changed skiing to asking. Basically my name is impossible to say wrong. So when someone calls and asks for me but completely mispronounces my name.

please tell me your not one of the ones that gets upset when that happens. working in a position where i have to call a lot of people I hate when I encounter a name like that. I do my best but nothing worse than some bitter jerk getting all bent out of shape when I get it wrong. Like relax it’s not my fault man and I tried you know.

Alternatively, think of the fun you could have telling everybody that they’re mispronouncing your name. “Smith? Oh no... it’s actually Smit-he. It’s Irish.”

Just say “no” and hang up. You probably didn’t want to talk to them anyway.

One time I told a telemarketer to fuck off because they called at 7:30 on a Saturday morning. Who calls me that early on a Saturday? My mom, so I answered the phone realizing who it wasn’t I then told them to fuck off. They called right back and called me a jerk. I didn’t feel bad hanging up on them again.

My last name is very unpronounceable. It’s weird to me that there are people who dont have to spell out their name when asked what it is.

There’s a lot of letters in your name, but it’s really not that hard if you take your time and sound it out.
HAMMER. HEAD. FIST. PUNCH.
See? Not so bad.

My last name is 5 letters long, and no one here in Quebec is able to spell or pronounce it.
Hint my last name rhymes with wacko

I have a gender-neutral name, for the sake of this story, and I know immediately if they ask for Mr. Smobgirl then they want to sell me something.

Yes! I have a very simple last name. Both of my brothers had their names mispronounced at their college graduation... I mean, if the Dean of the school can’t read.... I guess I must’ve gone to a better college, they got it right with me :)

I like names and pronouncing them. I especially like Polynesian names because they’re such a struggle for White folk.
