I also fucking hate it when people address me by the diminutive of my name.
I hate it. It's almost always done by over-familiar pricks. Anybody that knows me at all knows that I fucking hate that nickname and so doesn't call me by it.

I am a tightly-wound ball of impotent rage today.

meh, i get it the other way around
you can't shorten my name, so people lengthen it.

why?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 11 Jul 2013, 10:31, Reply)

I like to irritate OG by lengthening her name.
She does the reverse to me in revenge. That's fine, since we both know each other and we both know we're just doing it to wind each other up. I introduce myself by my full first name to everyone and anybody who immediately calls me by the shortened version gets dumped straight into the "this person is a cunt" bin.

This bin also contains anyone that's ever used the word "eatery" whether as a joke or not.

One diminutive of my first name is on my business card...
...only because everyone knows me by it. There is another diminutive I really hate.
I deliberately gave my daughters names I thought couldn't be shortened - they managed it though!
