Buckle up, folks! We’ve got a juicy workplace drama on our hands. Meet our protagonist, a woman with a name that’s spelled one way but said a couple different ways. Simple enough, right? WRONG! Enter T, the coworker from h*ll who just can’t seem to get her name right. Despite her polite attempts to correct him, T remains stubbornly set in his ways. But our girl has had enough! She’s taking a stand and refusing to respond unless T says her name correctly. Will T finally learn his lesson, or will this petty battle escalate into an all-out office war? Let’s dive in and find out!

The Name Game Showdown: Will T Ever Get It Right?
Well, well, well… it looks like our protagonist has reached her breaking point with T’s inability to say her name correctly! After months of polite corrections and gentle reminders, she’s finally taken a stand by ignoring T whenever he gets her name wrong. But now, T is throwing a tantrum and complaining to anyone who will listen about what a “b*tch” she’s being. Even her other coworkers are getting fed up with the drama and asking her to just let it go. But is it really too much to ask for a little respect and common decency in the workplace? Our girl is starting to wonder if she’s the a**hole for being so petty, but after 4 months of putting up with T’s disrespect, can you really blame her?
