Why I Shouldn’t Be Allowed In Public

Posted By on April 5, 2011

So I got a new job, didya hear?

I wanted to share a glimpse into my life and why sometimes I think that either a) I should have my own TV show or b) why I should be kept inside at all times.

At a meeting last week at work, the following conversation occurred:

Me: I’m Kristin, nice to meet you!

Him: Kristi?

Me: No, Kristin.

Him: Christian.

Me: No. Kristin. CHRIS-tin.

Him: No, my name is Christian.

/scene

And then I may have crawled under the conference table until the meeting ended.

At least I’ll never forget his name!

    Way back when I was a youngling (6th or 7th grade maybe?) my aunt had a boyfriend named Guy. I got in a heated debate with my mother because YES MOM, I know he’s A Guy, but what is his name?!?!

    Sounds like something I’d do.

    A few years back, Darren (my partner) walks into a school where he’s managing an IT project, and he needs to find the tech he sent out, whose name is Albert Hu.

    Darren (to receptionist): Hi, I’m with [name of company redacted]. I’m looking for Albert.
    Receptionist: Who?
    Darren: Yes.
    Receptionist: Did you say Albert?
    Darren: Yes.
    Recptionist: Albert who?
    Darren: Yes.
    Receptionist: What’s Albert’s last name?
    Darren: Hu.
    Receptionist: [frustrated] Albert’s last name!

    Then he starts laughing, because he was doing it on purpose.

    Dude, that is all HIS fault. He should have totally said, “My name is Christian” or something to indicate that he was switching topic from YOUR name to HIS name.

    Boys can be such morons.
