My last name was also a women’s first name, let’s say “Jean” at the doctor’s office

My grandma has the middle name ‘Gatherine’ - it’s a family surname that due to tradition, she was lumped with. When my parents were getting their marriage license, the clerk wouldn’t believe my dad when he wrote it down. Kept telling him he was misspelling it, and that it was obviously ‘Catherine’, and then refused to…

Fuckers couldn’t even get “energy” right. No way they can handle Benjamin.

I have the thing where my name isn’t really all that hard, but it LOOKS like a name you see every day. I used to get upset, but then I read one of those silly facebook things where every word is vaguely misspelled, but your brain reads it right anyway, and realized people’s brains are just programed to go with…

My husband’s name is Benjamin. Spelled in the classic way. I called Entergy when we moved to New Orleans to set up our utilities account and the woman on the other end asked me “can you spell that?” Me: “It’s Benjamin. Like Benjamin Franklin. You know?” Her “..........can you spell that?” !?!??!??!?!??!??!?!

Including my middle name, I have a 42 letter long-ass greek name.

Speaking of Starbucks, this has been making the rounds. Mark with a “C”

Oh, I think you give the drunk general public way to much credit if you think they’ll make the Iliad connection on a Friday night at O’Houlihan’s.

Ronnie Pastrami!

Which one?

Ron Pastrami is a sweet name, don’t be ashamed.

did you spring forth from your father’s head

Same problem here. The picture is funny to me, because for a while, I actually had a Starbucks cup collection with my name spelled a wide variety of ways.

I had a manager take a survey of all the other women when I called it for cramps, asking if they really got that bad.

And in my case- random moments of crying for no reason.

It is a thing! My boyfriend comes with me to all my GYN visits, scoffs at men who make period jokes, and knows the difference between the different brands and why I like the ones I like and has zero problem buying them (when I’m not using a cup), brings me pillows and my heating pad when I’m in bed with bad cramps,…

When I went into labour with my first child the hospital sent me home because I wasn’t in enough pain - but the reality was that my period cramps were just on par with fucking labour cramps and had been my whole life so I was just used to it. For hours I just walked around my house doing little chores while in full on…

Aww, how awful. Much love and sympathy to your little girl.

Right? Make them take a mystery pill 3 times a day. Could be placebo. Could be a laxative. Could be an Ambien. Could be an emetic....
