Someone called here a few minutes ago and I'm like "Blah blah, this is John" and she's like "Shaun, I've got a question." Rawr.

It's not as bad with me but with the last name, it's very common. My name is Sheri. NOT Sharon. Never has been, never will be. And I can't even get into the brutalization of the last name. "No, it's N as in Nancy".
But how can you screw up John?

Yeah, I don't know. I probably don't enunciate very well or something.
What annoys me beyond belief is when people call me Jonathan. My name is John, not Jonathan. That's what it says on my birth certificate, you wankers. And no, it's not funny.

You talk fast sometimes. Maybe they figured you said Shawn, but polite people would ask. But I've been called Shawna and I'm not sure how since that basically throws out the D and the R of my name. LOL

I think I've been called Jason once before. Didn't really bother me, though.

How can you possibly arrive at Monica? That just makes no sense. At all.

Apparently my last name can become Monica (thanks to our wonderful PBX phone system at work that makes everything sound like crap). All I can surmise.

You guys think you have it bad? Check this out. OK this is kind of a long story but bear with me it's funny and I enjoy telling it. My real name is Freddie Joe but my dad branded me with the nickname Bubba as soon as i was born basically. Before long Bubba turned into Bubba Joe.
My grandmother on my moms side didn't really like the idea of her first grandson being called Bubba Joe, sounded too hick to her i guess, so she started calling me B.J. and it stuck. Around the 6th grade B.J. turned into blow job, it used to piss me off and probably even started a few fights if i remember correctly lol. It eventually wore off as we all grew up a bit and I got over it. So still to this day after 32 years my moms side of the family still calls me BJ, dads side of the family still calls me Bubba. A few close friends from school will call me Blow on occasion. Law enforcement and bill collectors are the only ones that call me Freddie. lol No I don't have an identity complex ha ha. On here I'm just Gremlin.... nuts huh?

Hey!!
How was your trip to Dallas?
It was sweet... My father is next to impossible to sneak anything by but we managed to totally catch him by surprise for his 70th birthday party. Only times I've seen him tear up was when my mother died and a couple years ago when the whole family snuck into the Jim Thorpe Awards Banquet at which time he was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award. I think this surprise birthday party got to him the most though. |

Gremlin, that is by far the best story on names I've heard. It's odd how that can happen over our lifetimes.  |
