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?

I have snickered at so many of these but
There was also a guy at a place I worked called Richard (went by Dick) Toomey. Known throughout the company as Strapper.
made me laugh out loud!

I'm an Aussie and my name is Jenny - there's a footballer here with the surname of Talia and I told my kids that he asked me to marry him, but I said no... Grin

Once took a witness statement (thankfully over the phone) about someone called Mike Hunt which had to be repeated 50 million times with descriptions of what Mike Hunt was doing 😂

I dare you to set up a new gmail account called "Twatty McFuckSticks" and tell her to use that from now on :D

Thanks for the great thread. Have been laughing out loud at your fertile minds.
Op, just tell your boss that smut is in the mind of the smitten and stick to your true name.

This thread is GOLD

This actually fits the "two bad words" criteria 🤔

But seriously determining your email address is not her responsibility!
