I tend to call people by their prefix and surnames, friends I mean, in a kind of ironic, sarcastic way. It's either that or I make up stupid nicknames for them. I don't talk to people I don't know, or if I do, I just don't say their names, it's pretty easy to have a conversation with someone without saying their at all.

I'd call you Ms., but I'm still not convinced that you are female.

No disrespect intended. It IS the Intenet, after all...

I'm guilty of shortening names. I get it from my Mom. She used to call my Dad "D."

A psychoanalyst would say that I'm trying to subvert the implied power of the subject individual by devaluing the inherent egoism of their moniker (this practice is also known as "The Sampson Tendency" because Sampson's strength was supposedly sapped after he was shorn by Delilah).

BTW, you can call me umfum. Just don't call me unfun.

Bearing in mind Choad's point, is there anybody here who actually likes to be called by their first name from some random salesperson over the telephone? I despise it, and they do seem to make a big meal out of saying your name every other word. Who was it that came up with the idea that you win people's instant liking by calling them their first name?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not incredibly cheesy when guys read the name tag off the girl at the supermarket and start talking to her as if she was their friend? Every time I see it happen I cringe uncontrollably. I've not worked in a supermarket (or similar environment) before, but I can't imagine there are many women out there who find this practice at all endearing.

And you can call me Mister Cynic!

(or just Chi)

When I worked in a supermarket, I got a little creeped out by this old guy who started talking to me and saying my first name all the time.

Especially as when he left I realised I wasn't wearing my nametag.

True story.

I so hate that. I hate that so fucking much! And it's always creepy old men! I don't care that my name is prominently displayed on my chest, that doesn't mean I want you to think I'm your friend. I'm not your goddamned friend, I'm an overworked, underpaid clerk who wants you to shut up about your life and pay for your goddamned plant food already!

If I ever had my own store with employees, they wouldn't have to wear name tags. Or if they had to for some dumb ass reason, they can put any name they want on the name tag. The hardware store I used to work at let us do that because they thought it was safer in the event a stalker showed up. For six months, I was "Winter Storm, Power Equipment Associate."

Sunday morning, since I'll be the only one in my department, I plan on taking my extra name tag and changing it to something else. I just don't know what.

How about Fingledorf, The Magic Goblin?

If anyone tries to call you by that name, you can laugh at their complete idiocy.

I will rate you hard, and unendingly.

I've been trying to get everyone in real life to call me "Darkon the Destroyer". It isn't working out so well -- I get alot of "Dorko" and "Jerkon" and so forth.
