I used to work with a people from various foreign countries. Once I had a woman whose last name was "Shita." Of course, it was pronounced, "sheeta," but when I first spoke with her, I told her, "I mean no disrespect, but do you have problems with your last name? I think you might have a few when you start your training!"

Back in high school I worked the grill at Friendly's.

When a server put in an order, they'd place their initials on the ticket so we could call out their name when the order was up.

There was this waitress by the name of Carol W. She was a hefty one. REALLY hefty.

So her order is up...I'm looking at the initials "C.W."...and my brain simultaneously processed the correllation between CW and her immensity...and when I called out her name it came out "COW" - which then of course the endorphins kicked in and I tried to play it off so it came out something like this; "COW...rrrul."

Freudian slips are great...

Oh yeah.

We had this resident radiologist that was so horrible we use to call him "Code Brown" because he was so shitty.

Anyways, one afternoon I called him "Dr. Brown" and his last name is not Brown. I had to cover really quickly. My coworkers were trying to to fall out laughing all around us.

It was hilarious.

I told him that when he first came to us I thought his last name was Brown and sometimes that still slips me up.

Worst thing is, he went off rotation with us for a few years and came back recently. It is like he is a different person. He is wonderful. We love him.

Then there's me...who still has to fight from calling him "Dr. Brown."

When I was in school I worked at a restaurant and I said to a customer. Sir, may I help you. This person I was waiting on was dressed as a woman. I don't know if this man was in transition for a sex change or what. But, I felt horrible as soon as I said it. Because the look on their face was a look of horror. I guess they didn't know the looked like a guy in a dress?

Well, since he's so "wonderful" now, why not let him in on the joke. You can soften it by telling him how much you all adore him now compared to how much you despised him when he was an asshole.

'wonderful" now, why don't you let him in on the joke. You can soften it by telling him how much you adore him now but how much of an asshole he was back then!

I'm okay with that, but my co-workers say "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"
