Dudes who introduce themselves with just their name and job and no other words

[Pete]

"Jerry O'Neal, Continental Siding"

No "Hello, my name is," or "I am with" or "I work for"  just their rough ridin' name and then a business name.  I do NOT like that kind of thing.  Seems like a slime ball kind of thing to do.

I always want to say "No I'm not, I'm Pete" when they say that crap to me.


This might deserve a separate thread, but I also hate the clerk dude who acts like the inventory is actually HIS.  "I don't have any of those in stock, let me see what I do have."  "I have some of these, and I have some of those..."  Hey pal, you get paid hourly....you don't own crap.

"Jerry O'Neal, Continental Siding"...

While handing you a business card stuck between his index and middle fingers.

Slime ball move.

In what setting?

Good thirty seconds of Thunderstruck before I do anything but dance and pump up the crowd.

You cool with the "we" pronoun?

We is great, you can use we.

Hello, I'm Pete.

You know what I don't like along these lines? People who answer their phone using only their name.

Oh I know!  That is terrible. 

I always want to say "WRONG! GUESS AGAIN!"

[wetwillie]

i dont understand why people associate who they are with what they do for money.

[Skipper44]

 how about folks that drop the "actually,  it is Doctor so and so"  in  non  professional situations

I've never met anyone doing that. I would probably end the relationship.

Dude that's a commercial.  Not a big deal. 

Relax man.

But yeah in real life , eff that crap.

After "who you chose to surround yourself with"  how you earn your way through this world is possibly one of any persons most defining characteristics.

It shouldn't be.

I introduce mrs. dave as dr. dave all the time in all situations and she gets really mad.

Hello, I'm Pete, and if you are a dumbass, I'll mush your effing face.

This is a pretty boss move. She pretends to get really mad, but inside, she really likes it.

[Dr Rick Daris]

any dr that introduces themselves as dr _____ is a humongous dork and should be laughed at. the only time this would be ok was if their first name was actually doctor. like their parents named them doctor and he's been called doctor his entire life. like, "doctor, it's time to come inside and eat dinner and don't forget, before bed you have some third grade homework you have to do."

[Dr Rick Daris]

also, i know a couple that received a wedding invitation and it was addressed to mr and mrs _______. the guy is a doctor and the wife made a really hilarious remark to the effect that the couple getting married would not be getting as nice of a present from them because of this mixup and that they would be getting a "mr type of present" and not a "dr type of present". oh my god i said to myself. what a clown.

my roommate from the dorms way back in the day, ended up going to chiropractic school after KSU and just graduated... he changed his facebook name (actually made a new account, since unsurprisingly they must not let you change your name) to DrPaul XXXXXX  and sent me a new friend request... his original account is still on my friends list so I don't feel bad for not accepting the request but srsly... that has to rank up there as one of the douschiest moves I've ever seen on FB?  And for a not even a real doctorate degree

Cool story Doc Daris. Thoughts on Dwight Gooden?
