Damned Hardyarse

[Orior]

Was in a meeting a few days ago with some customers and were discussing another person whose surname was Hardy.

Throughout the meeting I was a fraction away from calling the person Hardyarse.

Anyone else have similar experiences?

Whooooaaaaa there. This thread aint about people with funny names. Thats been done before (Dick Soft, Richard Head etc etc)


This is about conversations/meetings where you may have called someone by their surname instead of forename, or the wrong name together, or by their nickname and you only found out after the meeting.

Worst of all is ordering a 99 ice cream in a shop, you have to think hard before avoiding asking for a 69!
