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?

I love this thread - I've genuinely laughed out loud for the first time in ages tonight.

Also realised a good friend of mine is a Shart 😂

OP, are you William Stroker?

Pia Lott?

Diane Rhea, known as Di to her friends

I think we might actually know the same Mike (Micky) Hunt!

I’m so sorry Op ,we haven’t been much help have we ?
This has given me a much needed laugh though.
In answer to your question , stick with your name and tell her not to be so rude ( oh the irony !)

That was his email address for 7 years though and wasn't changed.
