I have a very common last name. I asked a client one day how to spell her last name. She pointed at my name plate on my desk and said "Isn't it your last name?" It was kinda embarrassing. I got busted trying to pretend I remembered the name of a coworker when I couldn't. I thought I'd play it off with "now, how do you spell your last name, again?" while I keyed it into the computer. S-M-I-T-H, they carefully spelled. Doh!

How about when you guess the wrong gender. That's always fun. I have done that more than once.

Ok, my story. A few years ago I was very sick and undergoing many medical procedures, which in the process I lost 30+ pounds (155 to around 119)in about 2 months. I looked emancipated and sickly to say the least. A co-worker suggested that I join a weight loss group that she belonged to because "everyone needs to lose weight".....my normal weight, based on my body type, is between 145-150.
I'm glad you were emancipated instead of emaciated. That would have sucked!

I have a last name that sounds common but is spelled a little weird. For instance, Smith but spelled Smythe. I was giving my information over the phone to a woman who didn't like how I spelled my last name. I spelled it out for her letter by letter, and she kept asking me 'isn't there another R in there? Isn't it spelled XXXX?' After about the fourth time of me spelling it for her, she said "You're spelling it wrong." Yes, of course, you must be right, I am spelling my own name wrong. SMH. I have a very common last name. I asked a client one day how to spell her last name. She pointed at my name plate on my desk and said "Isn't it your last name?" It was kinda embarrassing.

Gawd I gotta save this thread now with all of Milee's recipes. I think that they need to be added to the recipe section of the board, if they haven't been already.

My mother forgot her brother's girlfriend's last name. So she said she was going to ask him how "Sandy" spells her last name. I said what if it's something simple like Smith. Why not just ask what her last name was? But, she thought that would be too embarrassing. So she asked him how Sandy spelled her last name. His answer, was "just like it sounds".

I have a problem addressing cards to my cousin (who I am pretty close to). She has a live-in boyfriend and they have been together for at least 10 years. We all go on our family vacation trip together most years, so I know him pretty well. But I have no idea what his last name is. And it is too late to ask. So I just address Christmas cards to her, but feel pretty weird about it.

You're a good YMer though so you should use a financial trick to solve that problem. Just like CDs but call it Kahlua laddering. You only have to wait for the initial two weeks and then make sure you always have a new bottle ready at the rate you need it

Once everyone stops adding in their recipes and chit chat I'll move it to the recipe section. I think I moved last year's there to, if I'm not mistaken. YUPPERS I did move it to Main Course.

The female cashier at the grocery store asked me (a female) if I wanted to donate to prostate cancer research. I told her no. She said okay, but it's a really bad disease that any of us could get and she donates because if she gets it she's hoping it's after a cure is found. My 12 yr old son laughed the second I got to the part where she said anyone could get it.
We laughed at this one too:
