Today, I was taking a pizza order at work, and had to ask the customer's name. I couldn't quite hear what he said, so rather than asking him to repeat himself, I asked how it was spelled. He gave me a funny look and said, "Um, A.J.?" FML

Nope, sorry. This is the OP, this happened at The C Shop in Birch Bay, Washington

That's alright. Sometimes you're so used to doing something you kinda space out and go into autopilot. Not a big deal. I'm sure A.J will forgive you.

eh, it's Monday. **** it, nothing goes right on Mondays!

Must've had a hard accent for you not to be able to hear that.

AJ: Ahhkay put it undah the name of Ahhhgjay. OP: Wait....what? Could you spell that please? AJ: ...AJ...

#21: I don't have a harsh accent and whenever I give my name out, all I get are blank stares. Eventually I gave up and started giving cashiers a simpler name (that isn't mine) that they can write easily.

It's ok OP . Some of the pizza places I know are quite loud , so it's understandable that you might not hear phone calls properly all of the time. Also his reception or phone could be lower quality , causing the conversation to cut out. It happens to everyone .

From the FML the part "he gave me a funny look" I gather that he or she were face to face with the customer and not over the phone :)

Oops I guess I misread. Thanks for pointing that out for me .

113- Omg I found it hilarious ;) And your pic isn't worrying at all in the slightest lol :)

Okay, so the traditional spelling.

Anyone else expecting an FML that says "Today I ordered some pizza and gave my name, AJ. They asked how to spell it. FML"

No. No one else is expecting yet another turned-around FML because the rest of us have figured out that it isn't clever anymore.

I don't see how that mild embarrassment is FML worthy....
