Ever had your name butchered so badly it came out as an actual insult?

[meetkitty123]

So today at work the Assistant lead approaches me snickering. He gives me a paper to go over and sign. Looking at him suspiciously I take the paper and quickly see corporate wrote Both my 1st name and last wrong. The last name I could understand as it was a simple mistake BUT for the 1st They Wrote DETRITUS. 😡 WTF! Completely BUTCHED! SERIOUSLY!

NOTHING like my name! Are You telling me no one in corporate had enough brains to spotted this mastake. I mean damn it would take the worst parents in the world to name their child GARBAGE! 😡 Its more than obvious it couldn't be right.
Now I been called many things such as Betty Liza Denis Dorian Beth Greece but THIS TAKES THE CAKE!
I snatched the paper and signed it Detritus stating I can now not be held accountable for any of this lol 😉. Handing it back I vowed to get my revenge on my assistant lead and my other work buddies for getting such a kick out of this... 😈 Im already plotting my pranks 🤣!

Yup its happened to me.

No but I find it very annoying when they mess up my name.

No my name is easy to pronounce

My last name has a part that is spelt "aas", but frequently misspelled as "ass". I've actually used mistakes like this to my advantage. For instance, I took an internship a few years ago, in which they set up an work account for me, but they spelled my name wrong, so they made me a new one. For some reason, they never got rid of the old one. As a result, because everything was done electronically and rarely checked by an actual human, my work was registered twice, and I ended up being paid double. I simply pretended not to notice.

Both my given name and surname is Welsh in origin, I've had every spelling and pronunciation of them conceivable, and some that aren't! I've even had them swapped over by the NHS and Army in the UK, similar problems with HR Dept while working in the US the worst place was the DMV who refused to believe it was real even with a passport to back it up.

[Sour-rose]

I'm currently in a situation where people can't say my name now. But I picked it, as I'm going through a name change. Real quick, my previous name made me so sick because i told people to call "this" instead of "that". Some wanna say "i like this name instead of that so I'm gonna call you this." or they just ignore my request. I... I swear to g-

So I decided to change it. Sure, my dad doesn't like it because he says it is a bad mistake but he doesn't know how many times people called me "this" instead of "that" and I had enough. :)

If your name is some tongue twisted methed up conglomeration of letters, don't get mad when I can't pronounce it without ever hearing it. I think people just look for reasons to be offended. It's why we call them snowflakes. They are literally laughed at.

[meetkitty123]

Oh you are correct it would be fair to get offended at someone who has never heard the name before. However if it is an individual you see daily it is different.

[Ghostluck]

Like Melissa or Steven, would be some names that you simply couldn't claim ignorance to.

[Ghostluck]

I'm curious, what is your actual first name? Is it Denise? If so, I would be very confused how somebody could get that wrong.

[Cathy7734]

I never have. But my dad said when he was in elementary school there was a kid named, "Damian." So he would always call him, "Dammit." "Hey Dammit, how are you doing?" "Hey Dammit, is your Dad's name Lucifer?" Etc.

[meetkitty123]

Awe poor kid

[Snsl153]

My surname. For some unknown reason, no one can ever seem to pronounce (or spell) it properly, even though it only has SIX LETTERS!

[meetkitty123]

Thats tough my last names get missed spelled a lot they use Ss.

[whereismyjohnny]

The first name no (okay maybe only a couple of times but it’s an easy one so people don’t have a problem with it) but surname a lot of times. People often misspell and mispronounce it so I got used to it and I’m quite chill about it 🤣

[Bluemax]

That has only happened when attempting to pronounce my last name.

[meetkitty123]

Oh you have a tough last name too? I have one easy one and one tough one. People always use the easy one even though its the 2nd last name and my primary last name to avoid

[Guardian45]

This sounds deliberate NOT a prank. I WOULD follow up with HQ. Someone needs to lose their job about this!

[meetkitty123]

But it wasn't a prank at all corporate f up

[Grond21]

Detritus? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Was it originally Dorothy?

[meetkitty123]

No lol its unique

[Grond21]

Oh, that makes more sense. I couldn't think of what name was similar to detritus

[ArtemisSilver]

That's like being handed a golden ticket for a harrassment lawsuit. They're lucky you aren't mean.

[meetkitty123]

My light hearted co workers found it more funny that we work for a bunch of idiots they couldn't believe corporate would screw up that badly. My co workers didn't write it the big guys in some other location did

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

All during school, my last name was butchered, it is pronounced with the long O, not anything else but these teachers in the school was jag offs

[Anonymous]

People shorten my name even when I tell them not to. There is just no way to have a full name


Only friends and family call me my full name no one else cares it’s annoying

[TrillXHippy]

I really have no idea how anyone can spell my name wrong. I have the same name as a store, I have the same name as an actor, I have the same name as a guy who used to make commercials

[TacosRAwesome]

Back in the day, I used to attend girl scouts and the basic bitch that was the troop leader always managed to butcher the spelling of my name in various different ways.

[aria7Sara]

I used to get my named butchered a lot in both spelling and' pronunciation

[DaveToo]

It happened constantly when I was growing up.

[Jamie05rhs]

Lololol! You poor thing. 😂

[Anonymous]

Nah. My name is pretty plain.

[BeMuse]

Nope.

[msc545]

Almost.

[Jouth]

Naw I'm not a bitch
