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

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?

Pat Balls?

I would send her a sickly polite, bordering condescending response to say it means FirstName LastName, which just happens to be your name

I worked at a place helping people look for work one of the clients surname was cock the ideas for email addresses was basic first name surname Gmail etc and someone put a bloody s in so it read [email protected] and wondered why they got no reply to jobs they applied for

doesn't seem like OP is going to come back, but she should tell the woman to create a domain name and separate email addresses for all volunteers [email protected]

It will completely stump the woman if she isnt IT literate, and half the volunteers will stop reading their emails. Grin

MN posters at their finest! I'm sitting here mumbling the names to myself to work out why they're rude.

V funny people on this thread. 👏👏👏

Well done everyone 🤣🤣

@DuzzyFuck Shart was my boss pre-baby... I giggled every time I thought about her email (she was lovely).

I wonder if it's the same one as @Agirlnamedsam works with.

The thing is op, once she’s seen it, she can never unsee it.

She’s also probably telling you what others are saying behind your back,

Sorry.

EggyPegg · 11/01/2021 21:19

Worked with a Mike Hunt - had to enunciate that carefully when introducing him to others.

I know a Mike Hunt. It's not occured to me until now as I've never used his full name. He's a parent at my DCs school. Magnificent. I hadn't realised I'd met one in the wild.
