    Last confession for the day: I hate it when people are early. I understand why some people think being late is rude, but I think turning up earlier than you said you were going to is a lot more inconsiderate.

    What if it's for work? Being late for work isn't inconsiderate.

    What annoys me about names is when parents give their kids names that have similar endings. A family at a church I used to go to named their sons Carter, Parker, and Spencer. My brother's kids' names end in -en, -in, and -on. I don't know why, it just bugs me for some reason. I also don't like it when people name their kids and call them by their middle name. Example: Singer Josh Turner has a son named Crawford Marion and they call him Marion.

    My name is incredibly unique and it is annoying because no one pronounces it or spells it right. All of my other siblings got normal names except my sister Shawn, but even that's not bad. My 10th grade health teacher never said it right for the entire semester. After correcting him for the third time, I gave up. I avoided participating in that class because I was embarrassed every time he called on me. I've thought about legally changing my name, but I can't think of anything else I'd rather be called.

    My name is Kristen. Over the years I've learned to answer to pretty much any variation, and there are a LOT of them. I won't answer to Kris, though. I hate that.

    For those of you terrified of having a pap done, the recommendations have changed (at least in the US) and generally you only need have the pap done every 3-5 years (depending on age and past results). That said, they still recommend an annual pelvic exam, which is what most women are actually terrified of, not the brushing of the cervix, which takes all of 15 seconds.

    And @ladybuggnorris - The pap is actually for screening abnormal cells that can lead to cancer. HPV is an entirely separate test, though often it can cause the abnormal cells through inflammation and raise a cause for alarm.

    And just in case you're all wondering why I'd know all this nonsense, I actually run the cytology lab at this location for my company, so I am well versed in how and why pap smears, HPV, and a slew of STIs are tested for. Healthcare isn't glamourous. :/

    Paps are important! Don't be like me guys. I do keep trying to get a Pap done, and I will succeed one day. Anxiety disorder is feeling very scared, and doing it anyway.

    My brain is a dick.

    Confession: I definitely just spit tea on my desk.

    I totally would have if I had been drinking anything. That was hilarious!

    Random thought for the day. Stitch fix box came (it is my first time trying it) I didn't like most BUT I did fall in love with a size 14 kut from kloth diana skinny jean. Not cheap and at the rate I am dropping pounds they won't fit for long but I am keeping them anyhow. And I am wearing them now even though I have a professional video conference call in a few mins since they won't be able to see that I have knee high black boots and jeans..

    I knew a family whose kids were named Jay, Trey, Clay and Mae. So annoying!

    I can understand some people who go by their middle name. For example, I have an uncle whose name is Shirley Gene. He goes by Gene. Grandma was the only one I ever heard call him Shirley.

    Naming somebody and planning for it? I don't get that.

    Confession: Now I want to know what everyone's name is. Hi, I'm Tami. And yes, everyone spells it wrong, even on Facebook where it is right in front of them.

    Also, I automatically hate -aiden/aden/ayden names. So if your kid is named Brayden, Ayden, Aiden, Braiden, Zayden, Zaiden, Jaiden, jaden, Jayden, Raiden, Rayden, Kaiden, Kayden, Kaden etc. . . .. . . i hate him/her already.

    I confess as a teen, some of these were on my list of baby names (frightening that I had already had a list), but as I've aged and met people, kids, babies thus named... I hold quite a similar feeling for that particular offshoot of names.

    I work for a child support enforcement agency--you wouldn't believe the insane names of these poor poor children we see here. You want to ask the parents WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!

    Stupidest namers ever were my brother's previous neighbors. They had four kids and their names were Kyla(g), Kyle(b), Kyler(b), and Kylee(g). I just know there must be something missing from the gene pool or a LOT of drugs involved int he decision.

    Both of my children have a first name that begins with the letter "r". I'm sure it's annoying to others. (Idgaf)

    Also, both names are super old timey.

    I love old timey names! One of my friends just had a baby and named her Hazel. So cute. My name begins with an "R" and is biblical old timey! :)

    I'm going to guess Ruth or Rachel? Haha my first name is Laura and I enjoy my first and middle names!

    My name is Melissa. I was named after a CCR song, and a girl from the little house on the prairie books.

    I feel it suits me.
