How to Annoy Me...
Wednesday, September 14, 2005
I am constantly annoyed at how many people can't spell my name?
I call sales reps all day and they say what is your name? And I say, "Eddie Renz, R-E-N-Z" and they respond "R-E-N-C?" How many words in the English language end in C? Or other languages for that matter? If it happened only once a day it would be one thing, but every single day is another. And then there is the RUIZ. It's like people don't even look at my name, they see this big brown guy and they assume my last name is RUIZ. I have no Spanish or Mexican blood in me.
