I Should Tattoo “Long E” Onto My Forehead
The worst part about the upcoming construction process is that my contractor–despite my repeating my name every time I call him–calls me “Megan,” with a short e.
It’s Meeeeeegan.
Good thing I’m not sensitive about it, huh?

When people try to call me Carol which I absolutely DESPISE like poison, I just smile and repeat Carolyn after every incorrect repetition until they get it. Most of the time it only takes once. Some people are dense, but you could try that.

I’m one of those evil people who would totally call you by the wrong name but only if you are my best bud. Best buds are allowed to annoy each other
My childhood friend still calls me Sam and I still answer without thinking - don’t know where that nickname came from but it’s funny that 20 years later we can fall back into that. First few times it happened Bob looked really confused.
I have to admit that in my head I call you Meh-gan although I correct myself so it ends up with me going ‘Meh-gan, no Mee-gan! She is so going to kick my ass when she meets me. What if I screw up. Mee-gan. Need to practice more!’
