lol, I rarely call people by their full names in person, I always found it odd that in almost everywhere else in the south, Midwest, and Alaska they do the same thing I did. When I flew out there the frist time, I called one of the owners Rob instead of Robert and he was like who tf is Rob?

Volunteering and a kid told me his name was Steven but I could call him Steve for short.
I said my name was Bill but he could call me William for long.
That set off a full brain reboot in the kid. 30 seconds of total blank face dead still no one home stare. Finally shook his head and said "what?" Once his brain was back online. I've been laughing about it for weeks.
*names changed but you get the idea.
