Who are you?

By mynameisnotstupid - 18/03/2016 15:05 - Germany - Munich

Today, while working in a customer service call center, a customer berated me for using a fake name. He said my name is "too stupid" to be real and that no sane person would ever use it. It was my real name. FML

Sorry for their ignorance. I once worked in purchasing for a hospital chain & did a ton of phone work. apparently under my maiden name everyone assumed I was Irish (heavy Texas drawl?). when the reps met me in person, I constantly heard your not what I expected. guess they thought I was a female leprechaun, instead of a 6 ft tall raven haired 3/4 Comanche with a British grandad. ignore them.

Location is Germany, works in call center, my guess is an American idiot doesn't know foreign country's have completely different names besides your average American name. Guess that's the reason why people from Indias call centers have average American names like Bill.

Or, it's an Indian person who was born and raised in America and given a local name. Some of them do live and work in call centers in the U.S. Nice job, by the way. In chastising someone else for being ignorant, you managed to be just as ignorant in a different way. Well done.

Nice job yourself, actually. OP doesn't work in a call center in the US, he works in a call center in Bavaria, Germany considering that's where he posted from. I think it's highly unlikely he jumps into a plane every morning to fly to the US for a call center job, don't you?

Two of my teacher in school had the same problem because her name was "Lamaséché" which translates to "dried llama" when pronounced in french. The other one was Mr. Vagini and i think the reason is obvious.
