How awkward! I agree that it's on her for waiting so long! I once had someone call me Vaughn and that is nowhere close to my name. It was weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-275253 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 17:56:58 +0000 SleepyMonkey 275253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, omg this made me crack up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274661 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:39:05 +0000 kiddosc 274661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go to our daycare's website to check on the teacher's names when we first started. I'd already been introduced to them a few times and just couldn't remember their names and didn't want to ask again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274646 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:34:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 274646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww. Don't feel too bad, it happens to me a lot. The worst is when I try to correct people and they still get it wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274619 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:20:37 +0000 birdofafeather 274619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ha! that's crazy that she took that long to correct you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274509 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:10:04 +0000 autumnlove 274509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @MamaMoose: I know, right?!! I was picking up LO the other day when a new parent was touring the center and I heard the director introduce that teacher as Heidi. I smirked to myself and assumed the director was scatterbrained! hahahha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274501 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:04:36 +0000 MamaMoose 274501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I say that's on her that she let it go for 5 MONTHS!!! People call me the wrong name all the time (a name that is very similar, but not my name) and I always politely correct them right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274497 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:03:15 +0000 Andrea 274497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gee, it took her 5 months to say something??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/calling-people-by-the-wrong-name-ahhh#post-274495 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:02:19 +0000 JennyD 274495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha!

She finally corrected me today and told me her name is Heidi. I feel like a moron and I have no idea where I came up with Debbie! </p>
