I’ll admit it - I was a passive aggressive little shit to my coworker today. I’ve been working with her for over a year, almost daily, and she refuses to call me by the right name no matter how many times she gets corrected. And today I just...reached my limit. I’ve corrected her. Our coworkers have corrected her. Our manager has made a point to point out my nametag to her when correcting her. So today...I just didn’t answer her when she started calling for Aaron. I didn’t acknowledge it. I just kept right on with my stocking even after she started shouting it. She finally stopped and angrily asked one of the other guys why I wasn’t answering her and she seemed utterly floored when he responded “Because his name isn’t Aaron.”

I know it was petty but I’m tired of her not listening when she’s told my name. And I’m tired of humoring her and letting her call me whatever she wants. Being old doesn’t make it okay to be rude or just do whatever you want.

	Thanks. I just...feel a little guilty I guess. But I couldn't take it anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You shouldn't. There's no reason to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what our shift manager told me. And reminded her again that my name is Armin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I still don't see how she can switch it up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not that common a name in her mind? That's the only explanation I can come up with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just ridiculous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully it sticks in her head this time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it will or this will be an on going battle over you name. But I think you should stick to your guns and don't answer to any other name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll try to. I got the managers support so at least I won't get in trouble with them over not answering her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is always a plus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I doubt I would have anyway. I go out of my way to help them when I can. And with the exception of the time I woke up a 10 year old haven't missed a shift since they hired me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
