I now have a new pet peeve, yeah I suppose it was inevitable. I hope this is not the beginning of a list. Lately I have been meeting people who lie to me about their first name, both men and women. Not an isolated incident, four out of the last five people I have met have told me a wrong name and I was able to figure out they lied. For what purpose, I ask? If you don't want me to know your real name tell me you don't want me to know your name. If it is your nickname, you can tell me that, I really can handle the truth. I used to believe that people who I don't know well would have no reason to lie to me, I am wrong again.
Oh yeah and if you still insist on lying, don't leave your mail lay around, change your voice mail, don't hand me your receipts or your driver's license and oh yeah and most importantly, answer me when I talk to you using your made up name. |
