You're a really hilarious guy for a prick!!!!!!
I hate "Mikey" but endure it because it comes with the territory. My pet peeve is when people misquote the old Life cereal commercials - "Give it to Mikey, he eats everything!" That's not right -- it's -- "Give it to Mikey, he HATES everything....hey, Mikey! He likes it!!!" or something like that.
WOW! I have some issues, don't I......
I know lots of guys who prefer their "proper" name - one I dated was named Michael and it was hard to not call him Mike once in awhile. I felt like a school teacher or his mother calling him "Michael" - maybe that's what he was shooting for? (ICK)
Preference for the formal or proper name should be respected if that's how one introduces themselves, I think. If you want to correct someone once, that seems fine...if they keep doing it and it's that much of an annoyance - I would quit talking to them! ha ha ha
(My sister, Betsy's real name is Elizabeth..she got Betty, Liz and Beth all her growing up years...think of how frustrating that would be -especially if you didn't even go by your proper name!)
i guess. reading your replys about this. have lived all over the country in way too many states and
this is the first time i have run across this. if i met some one for the first time and they said was
mike, then i would call him mike, but if he said micheal., then micheal is what he is. have even lost
a warehouse job over it. the fight was on from day one. i lasted a long time because i was really
good at my job. .they posted every one's numbers on a sheet once a month, i was always number 2,
number 1 was some guy on second shift. but, finally got tired of it. and when they said order
pickers would unload trucks by hand i left. all the unloaders quit because they were always getting
hurt. got so even the temp agencys could not get any one to show up there.
No. 86 for my birth year.
Razz, we named one of our daughter's Elizabeth. She goes by Buffy. Not sure what she is going to use when she gets into the business world.
Buffy is really cute - unless your last name is "Tidball"
That was my sons babysitters name. Makes me laugh every I say it! Of course Buddy is not a business-like name, but your daughter is lucky that with Elizabeth, she has some options. My sons bbstrs first name was really Buffy, and she was not a young person... (not the Vampire Slayer either)
Whoops I didn't mean Buddy...sorry
Checked it out and I am number 3 for the year I was born.
