Tough Talk,
I have a unique Irish name which is fairly long. Some people change it to a nickname I really hate. Making matters worse is the name that most people shorten it to the same name of a girl I went to high school with who was a bully and a snot My sister says to not let it bother me and just accept it, but it really rubs me the wrong way. Am I wrong for having these feelings and emotions TT? (Grandview, Minnesota)
Bigview,
You have every right to be annoyed and your sister is really obtuse and indifferent to this situation. (What a dope!) Every time someone uses that nickname, you loudly tell them to blow it out their piehole and that you don’t like it. It may take a little while, but people will take the hint. Don’t back down on this. And if they don’t like it, tell them to FO&DD.
Happy Columbus Day Everyone! Have a great weekend!
