Yeah, we always made sure never to hit Jo-Ann right after Thanksgiving, no matter how good the sales were (I grew up in Windsor, so Detroit trips were frequent).

peeves:
People who insist on standing close to me in wide open spaces.
When people give me dirty looks because I date girls and boys.
Little pre-teens that give me dirty looks.
Professors who can't pronounce my name. Lu-Leigh Vamp, how hard is that to say?!
>I have tons of peeves, if you want to know them all then PT me or something.
Fears/
Drowning
Germs
Vomit
Public Restrooms
Rejection

I guess pronouncing names is a bit hard for teachers and if it's unusual they want to make sure of it before they say it so that you won't have any trouble...

yeah, you gotta cut them some slack. We get people with names from EVERYWHERE and a prof. can't be expected to know how to pronounce every dialect of every name, let alone know what one your name goes to.

Mine is incredibly straight forward...and yet people still fuck it up. Like it is spelled EXACTLY how it looks and I am still called "Connaly" like all the time.

A lot of unusual names aren't spelled exactly how they look, though...

How about Dana? I've been called Dinae, Dona, Dayna, and so on.

But they don't know that. I mean, they get so many bizarre names that they probably think your name is pronounced differently as well.

I'm afraid I'm with Trey on this one, strange as that may seem...

People have a tendency to add an 's' to the end of my last name, whether or not the class list is sitting in front of them. And I sit there thinking, "Learn to read, you loser," as I correct them nicely.
And then they do it again the next class.
I also had a supply who was covering an extended leave, so she was there for, like, five months, and she constantly called me Melissa (which is close, but no cigar). Towards the end of the year, one of the guys in my class turned to me and said, "You might as well just change your name to Melissa."

I'd be afraid if I were her, too. Limbo's -NEVER- on your side, Trey. I keep looking out my window to see if I can find that meteor that's going to come crashing to Earth right about now.
