To think that she should just stop commenting on my name?

[madbrews]

I've been part of this local tight-knit volunteering group for about a year now. Recently, there was a change in 'leadership' which is fine. I have, however, been told by her (twice!) to change my email address (it's listed in the private group listing) as it looks 'rude'!

My email address is simply firstnamelastname, with my first name being probably the most popular shortened variant of a fairly popular name. In her eyes, it contains nothing but 2 bad words which 'gives the wrong impression'. Surely people aren't that daft to not realise that it's just my name, and a well-known one at that?

I'm gobsmacked by the ridiculousness of it all. AIBU?

Your name is Constance Lingus isn't it? Shortened to Connie.

👏👏 This is the thread I didn't know I needed. I laughed out loud and am obviously 12...

OP, don't change the email. Tell her to pack it in.

Many, many years ago, long before the age of internet, mobile phones etc one of my colleagues showed teenage me an "R. Sitch" in the phone book.

There was also a guy at a place I worked called Richard (went by Dick) Toomey. Known throughout the company as Strapper.

Oh god thank you all for this. It has been a tough day.

Not rude but we know a young chap callled Max(imus) Power, like a battery or something.

Ive got it!!

@TheChineseChicken

Is your name Richard Head?

I actually did know someone called that at University.

Annie Rection

OP seems to of abandoned the chat, probably mortified at the responses, I would love to know the name but it's probably too outing.

Sadly British volunteer groups can be the most bitchy of all workplaces. People are like that because to the kick it gives them - WRVS, Red Cross, you name it, stacked with awful people.

Or Amanda Hugnkiss.

Every time I hear Amanda Holden's name I momentarily think it's some kind of pun based on this

Does she buy her pens in line fron Pen Island, that was a real website apparently? penisland.com

Ann Alcock?

This thread is GOLD

@MolyHolyGuacamole

Is that you, Ryder Strong?

Showing my age but that's the name of the actor who played Shawn in Boy Meets World.

My niece is called Jenny Taylor but we pronounce the R at the end so this has never been an issue, I suppose if you have an accent that doesn't pronounce the R this would be more obvious.

Bunty Collocks?

Had a dire day today and this thread is cheering me up no end 😂
