<p>Every fucking time I call a restaurant to make a reservation, the conversation always goes the same way:</p><p>Hostess: Okay, table for nine-thirty, your name?</p><p>Blakjeezis: Roger.</p><p>Hostess: Robert?</p><p>Blakjeezis: No, Roger.</p><p>Hostess: Yes, Robert.</p><p>Blakjeezis: No, not Robert, Roger. </p><p>Hostess: Okay, Rosa, see you at 9:30.</p><p>Blakjeezis: No, no. Not Rosa, Roger, Roger! Raaaaaaaahjerrrrrrrrrr.</p><p>Hostess: Yes ... Rosa.</p><p>Blakeezis: Not Rosa, not Robert. Roger.</p><p>Hostess: Robert?</p><p>Blakjeezis: ...</p><p>Hostess: Hello?</p><p>Blakjeezis: ...</p><p>Hostess: Hello, Robert? </p><p>Blakjeezis: ...

Preface your name with &quot;Dr.&quot; when making a reservation. Seems to get their attention.

very true. Or try using an unusual name like GUS or COSMO. I grew tired of going through this too: reservation for andrew. Angelo? no andrew. Anthony? no Andrew. Who? Andy! Annnie? Fuck you. Now Its STUGOTS all the way, and they get it right and they chuckle.

My wife's name is Faith, but everyone think's it's Faye.
