Sometimes I deal with people with really fucking fun names
I used to keep a mental list of users with incredible/dirty names when I worked on an IT helpdesk. Some absolute doozies out there.
Couple decades ago a coworker almost made it all the way through a call with a mister baumhal without slipping.
Almost.
I always wonder why people keep their funny names. If I was a member of Buttnutt, Assdingle, or Tittslap family I would be changing my name the instant I was 18. No way would I go through life like that.
Grocock…. Met 2 people with that last name.
There is a client I have to deal with named - I shit you not - Rusty Shackleford.
Every interaction i have to physically fight down the urge to scream SHASHASHA in his face
Has he ever surprised anyone with pocket sand?
I don’t think you should be telling us their name. That’s private information.
You're right, updated.
I had a teacher at school called Miss Sidebottom. I was close enough with her to ask her one day whether she got teased for her surname.
That was the day I learned that the name Sidebottom is a powerhouse in the AFL. Both her brothers played and she had other relatives in the sport also. So no, she wasn't teased at all.
I still hear the name Sidebottom around the sport, some nephew or something I assume. It always makes me think of her. She was a great teacher.
