In response to "I once met someone who insisted my name was spelled "Raoul". And I'd say "R-A-U-L". "No, that's not right." You know what? Fuck you. -- nm" by Mop

I have a story like that.

We were staying in Orlando and my parents were visiting and were staying at a different hotel (long story). We got to the hotel after they did, and we were going to meet up for dinner.

My mom calls the hotel and the lady answers at the front desk.

My Mom: "Please connect me with Sean Conover's room."

Front Desk Lady: "Hold please.....there's no one here by that name."

Mom: "Yes there is, we dropped them off a little earlier."

Lady: "no, sorry. We only have a 'seen' conover."

Mom: "Yes, it's pronounced 'Sean'."

Lady: "No it's not. It's pronounce Seen."

Mom: "He's my fucking son. I named him. Believe me, I know how his name is pronounced, and it's pronounced 'SEAN.'"

(I may be embellishing the 'fucking' part, but she was kind of outraged.)
