MattJimF Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 People writing my name as "Haley". You don't fucking say "hah-ley", it's fucking "hay-ley". Or as my English chums say, Hay-Lee. It's worse when the correct spelling is right in front of them and still they write or type it the wrong way My wife has this issue all the time, although her name is Alisa, keep getting Alisha mainly, although do get Ailsa (me on our wedding day ).

Jaaakkkeee Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 The instant feeling of regret everytime i purchase something from Greggs. I'll just never learn my lesson.You're doing it wrong. No guilt should come from baked goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 The instant feeling of regret everytime i purchase a Mcdonalds or something from Greggs. I'll just never learn my lesson.Is the problem that everytime you buy a McDonald's you regret it and wish you got a Greggs and vice versa?Would love a Greggs steak bake right now.

Jaaakkkeee Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I only get it with take-aways. If i get a mcdonald's it's 'cause I wanted one so there's no regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 It's probably more of a problem when my mum says my name too quickly and it comes out as "hairy". Then my lippy goes on. It's her own fault for picking a daft name anyway, don't name your kid something that when you say it too fast, it turns into an insult!This happens with someone I know. Her name is Jennifer, but her mum always says "Jen'fer" when she says it and sometimes it sounds like 'Jeffer'. It's not a nickname or anything, just the way her mum says it. DON'T NAME YOUR KIDS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T PRONOUNCE YOURSELF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I hate it when people pronounce the silent G in my surname, so it sounds liek Calla-gun. It's not an obscure name really. Say it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Names are stupid. No one can pronounce them, and then we moan about it. We should all just be given a number, or a symbol, like Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
