Just to mess with places that ask for a name I tell them it's for Boleslaw or Zbigniew. That really makes them look at you funny

Just an hour ago a barista got the first letter of my name wrong. Now I know I'm hard of hearing, but you'd think a twenty year old kid could hear better.

Where's the Hatt?
My father in his later years got various junk mail addressed to him... his first name was Julius and the letters were addressed to Kulius. It aggravated him but I thought it was kind of kool.
49 years of marriage you do learn a few things. (Big 50 in March)
We have been married 44 years- she knows not to worry about me. Probably a combination of cute girl and guns. Truth be told she was probably worried that I would get the desire for another gun!
After 51 years my wife isn't worried about younger women. She gave up mentioning gun purchases decade ago.
In regards to gun purchases, as long as she gets what she wants she's happy. Though I have to admit she usually see something new I've bought and takes it for her own. I wanted a Glock 42. She promptly appropriated it so I had to buy another.
Some times we'll actually coordinate calibers on an outing. If we both select the 42's we can even share mags.

Hey, it's only one letter away from J. At least they were close.
In about 4th grade we had a substitute teacher that spelled my name on a returned paper with my 1st name starting with a K instead of a C. When I brought it to her attention she told me that it's only one letter.
Her name was Mrs. Hall, I put Mrs. Hell on the heading of the paper and told her that it's only one letter. I got a trip to the principals office but she never spelled my name wrong again.
I have a VERY bad memory for names, so several years ago I started using Leroy and Elrod for stand-in names. The reactions I get from folks can be hilarious. I started using these names for telemarketing and scam callers, if they call back, I switch names.
Our water bill comes addressed to OCCUPANT. We've been the occupant here for over 60 years.
I've been married to the same woman for over 58 years, but sadly our personal interests are totally separate. She hates guns, and has been that way since we met. All efforts to get her to have even the slightest understanding of gun safety and use of personal defense falls on deaf ears. My other big interest has been motorcycling. She actually showed some interest years ago to get her own license, which thrilled me. But despite several tries she never was able to master the simple skill of throttle control and she gave up and refused to even try again, even with a scooter. So she does her quilting and embroidery, and I do my shooting and motorcycling. Not really what I thought "growing old together" would end up being, but it is what it is.
My go to fast food or take out names vary. I use several depending on the place. Could be Pepe, Juan, Pedro, Astro, Petey, Gravel, Booger, Boots, ZZ. I kinda like to mix them up. Funny part is I always use a company credit card with my real full name on it which often prints out on the receipt. Nobody has ever asked why they don't match what I tell them---doh???

49 years in August - I learned she is always right (Yes Dear, that's right Dear) even if she is wrong, you will not have a fight!
Knew a guy from Ukraine many years back. His kids said his middle name was Speeniff. Never gave it much thought, but I guess it was really Zbigniew.
That or Spigniff is the actual pronunciation. I used to work with a guy who told me a story about that name.
He was Irish Catholic and was going to Catholic school. He was in Jr. High and the kid next to him was Ukrainian. The Brother teaching the class asked names and the kid said Spigniff. The Brother slapped the kid and asked his name again. The kid again said Spigniff. The Brother slapped the kid again and got the same answer back.
The kid went home and told his dad what happened.... The next day the father went to the school and proceeded to beat the living crap out of the Brother who wouldn't accept the kid's answer. He took his son home and sent him to a different school.
My name is the worst growing Javier nobody can pronounce finally I use Jav for short it works a lot better
