New Post

Alright, so I haven't posted in a while. Which is actually okay, because I don't really believe anyone reads this. However, I shall try to post more regularly.

Today at work, Tom Hanks came in. He was kind of a cross between the Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, and the one in Catch Me if You Can.

Oh yeah, so instead of a normal name tag that says my name, I have one that says, surprise surprise, Doug H. Nuts. Most people, after a second glance, recognize this could not be my real name and laugh at it. On a few rare occasions people will not understand and either not find it funny, or be offended that my fake last name is "Nuts". Figure that out. Following is an account of a conversation (all true I assure you) that happened to me today.

(I am ringing two people up at the counter. It appears to be a woman in her mid 40's and her father)

Father- *makes some inaudible comment about my name tag*

Me- *pretends to have heard him*

Daughter- "Why is your name 'Doughnuts'?"

Me- "No, you see, my name is Doug H. Nuts."

Daughter - "That's stupid. It says doughnuts on your shirt and doughnuts on your hat, and it ALREADY says doughnuts on your name tag, so why would you say it again? That's so dumb. It doesn't make any sense."

Me- *fake smile* "Have a great day!"


That was fantastic. I had never met someone who absolutely did not get the humor behind the name.

Hopefully, more posts soon.
