things that make me absolutely bonkers: merchandiser for bath products has never spelled my name correctly despite us only communicating through hipchat, in which my display name is my actual name
every single time it is “gedeon”
my name is RIGHT THERE
he does this to rhyen, too, every time it’s “rheyn” and I know that’s an unusual spelling
and that my name is also unusual
but it is right there in the sidebar and over every message I send so like what is the issue, dude
omg if its literally right there
why would they
I’m like. I don’t want to be mean if there’s like, dyslexia or something but also it’s my name please spell it correctly??
I've literally only ever seen Gedeon as a last name
nevera nyone's first name
I’ve never even seen it as a surname
I’m used to getting gedeon/giddeon/gidon on like. starbucks cups
one of my friends in high school had the last name Gedeon and I've met a couple other people
but oi I feel you here
I understand it sometimes bc sometimes my email says Jacqueline and sometimes it says Jacqui, I don't get it, but it's in my signature
but I have multiple people who spell my name differently every time
like hello Jaci here
we don’t use q’s in english it’s too confusing
but yeah like it’s one thing to not know how to spell it if you’re just hearing it out loud, but if it’s RIGHT THERE
half the time I find this is laziness and half the time it's a (sometimes subconscious) power move and i hate it
the "i can't be bothered to learn your name because I'm too busy/important" is so stupid
OHMYGOD that is so right there
In this case I’m pretty sure it’s laziness but either way it’s at least a little insulting
i sign ALL my emails with Lisa and a handful of people still call me Liz lmfao
it’s rude to me AND rhyen lmao like. please you can’t NOT see how to spell these names if you can’t be bothered to try then What The Fucke
they’re uncommon names, ok, we both get it, but they are spelled out right there for your convenience
