My reply should work this time. And you know what I mean. Came here on Jenny's recommendation. Great blog, Keli. It’s a good thing you give us stupers a second chance. My reply should work this time.

Alexon Dolphin does have a nice ring to it... But yes, those damn stupers are quite arrogant and ignorant. New Diva: I've just this minute concluded that stupers who get at least some of the name right, in your case, the "Be," are wholly unable to go any further. Sorry to inform you a dead end has been reached by your banker. Jenny: There is just little to no hope for stupers, is there short of putting the pen in their hand, placing your hand over their ponderous one and slowly moving it, while clearly enunciating the letters. Even then... I shudder to go on. Thanks, Jenny - I will be visiting soon! Agnes:

At least in Justine's case, both names end in tine. That is somewhat encouraging. Sergio: That is a very good suggestion, but I question whether it would work in the case of a true stuper. I will have to conduct an experiment and find out. Elaine: The key words in your comment are "normally" and "conscious" neither of which consist with stupidity. I'm afraid, not being a stuper yourself, you can't relate. dawn:

I don't need it! I don't want it! Please keep it! Surely that "B" can be put to better use elsewhere! Someone's report card, perhaps? Recently I was a "guest" in the Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before going up in the tower you have to have your picture made so that they can put it on a badge which also features your name and the firm you are visiting. At least THREE times I told the man how to spell my name ... I even made a little joke about it, telling him that my license plate is "NOT2BE" which it is. He still gave me that extra "B" ... aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh. Keli, doll, I am fixing to leave something for you on me blog. Pick it up at your convenience.

We are rather large depositors and I fairly regularly have to wire sums of money, which requires me to sit in the branch managers office for a period of time with papers that have my name on them, while she looks up our account online which also has my name on it. Yet, she persists in calling me either Becky or Beth...my name is Betsy. It is rather annoying. Hope Ben gets it worked out with Peter...I think Ben should just start calling Peter Roger by the way, maybe then he would get the point!

My name isn't <em>actually</em> Agnes, but my real name was bastardised repeatedly when I lived overseas. I became, in real life: Alexon Dolphin. I felt like I was a main character super-bitch from Dynasty...I actually think it is quite a cool name in some ways, but the Dolphin is too sweet. 'Shark' would have been better. It's not just 'stupid' to not remember another's name; it is arrogant and ignorant. OK. My name isn’t actually Agnes, but my real name was bastardised repeatedly when I lived overseas.

I have to agree with Dawn: "Stupers suffer from a preoccupation with themselves, meaning they listen to others intermittently, if at all…" Listening is a skill that many people never achieve.
