When people write your name incorrectly (hilariouschaos.com)

I get it if it’s at a place like Starbucks when you verbally say it. Everyone has a special way of spelling their name and you can’t know the spelling based on how it was said.

But when my name is literally written out in the previous email and you are replying to that email…bruh.

Makes me want to passive aggressively write theirs incorrectly too.

My work email has my full name in it, which is also written in my email signature, and people still misspell it in replies all the time. Pouring one out for all of my homies out there who don't have typical white people names.

That’s the thing that I do! My name is like Jason. Spelled very commonly and like how most people have it. But then people go and do Jasin.

I dunno if it'll make you feel better, but I have a typical white person name that people misspell constantly.
