Someone thought my name was easy to say My job changed POS systems. A technician came in to help create us a login. He asked me for my name and I spelled it out for him (so much easier than saying my name). Once he finished typing, he read my name and said "[my name]? Well that's easy to say!". I then responded with, "to a normal person, it probably is easy to say. But I have a stutter and can't say [my name] (I'm also stuttering here) efficiently so it was just easier to spell it". Man apologized so quick 😭 he was like "that makes sense, im very sorry" and I said it's fine! But hopefully he thinks twice before making comments like that. I wasn't self conscious or anything, I was just simply informing him. Just a random story I wanted to share cuz I know yall can relate! 🫡
