    My name is William, 95% of the time I meet someone I'll say "Hi I'm Will" they then say "Can I call you Bill" and I think no you dickface if I wanted to be called Bill I'd have said that.

    Also my nickname since I was about 15 has been Fester. Nearly everyone but the people I work with call me that. I cannot recall the last time one of my parents or siblings used my actual name.

    My name is Amanda. I hate when people want to call me Mandy. The only nickname I've allowed is Manders, given to me at my first job because there were 2 Amandas.

    The name my brother would taunt me with as kids was Aman-DUH. (real original)

    My father in law is like this. He got nicknamed "Deputy" for some reason as a kid, and everybody and their dog calls him "Dep". The first time I met him, I though "wtf, that is a weird name". His real name is Thomas/Tom. I have never heard him addressed that way, not out loud anyway.

    Speaking of names, I still don't understand why Richard's surname is typically Dick. And who in the world would call their kid Dick, although it made for an epic season in Supernatural with Dick jokes.
    my hubby is richard and a 3rd. His dad goes by Dick and when my hubby is made at said dad he just calls him by his name. I have to admit looking my father in law in the face and calling him Dick took some getting used to.

    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.

    Hi Tami (I was tempted to write Tammy or Tammi...). I'm Christina and everyone spells or says it wrong. My name is my email address at work and I still get "Christine" on a weekly basis. Or I introduce myself and get "oh Chris? Christy? Chrissy? Tina? Christine?" Did I SAY any of those? No.
    The funny thing is, I have the least foreign name of any of my siblings. My last name is insanely difficult to pronounce for people in the US but my first name shouldn't be so hard... /rant.

    Same but opposite for me. I'm Christine and everyone always calls me Christina at work. What is it about these names???

    My family nickname was Crissybug (hence my name on MFP-my African dwarf froggys that you see in the avatar picture and part of my nickname) :)

    Of course the means kids called me Sissy.

    Does the dark chocolate dreams taste like peanut butter and chocolate or more like nutella?

    Definitely pb and chocolate. It reminds me of the dark chocolate Reeses cups.

    I dunno but it drives me crazy. It drives me crazy when people ask if they can just call me Chrissy. Like...no.
    3 people in my life can all me Tina and a small handful call me Stina even though I think it's weird. Upside is, I'm a very nicknamable person (outside of work, where it's always Christina) so it throws people off. At my first job there were two Christina's and the one would ALWAYS answer the phone for me when I'd get calls so they started overhead announcing that Monopoly had a call on line 1. Monopoly was easier to say than my last name, although the only correlation is they both have an 'nopo' in it. Weird.

    Nobody ever spells my name right either...my name is Nichole, and I've very rarely seen anyone else with the same name spell it like that.

    I've been asked if it's pronounced the same way. FFS...

    Also, your gray cat looks a lot like my gray cat, who's name is Bandit.

    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.

    I did this. I thought it would be cute, however it is annoying as crap when I am calling them.

    I weigh out veggies like sweet potatoes at the grocery store on my food scale, yes I bring it with me. It's a flat black smooth one and looks like an iPad from a distance. It any of the sweet potatoes weigh more than 200 grams I won't buy it. So some weeks, I don't get them, because none are in the magic gram weight. I also buy loose onions and bell peppers on a similar weight method. Again some weeks, there aren't any in that weight.

    I only buy my International Delight coffee creamer in the single serving mini containers like you get at restaurants. That way I know exactly how much creamer is in my coffee every morning.

    I have counted the pieces of popcorn I have eaten.

    All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.

    Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.

    Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.

    Boxes of Cereal if they are mine, get pre portioned out to 42 gram Ziploc baggies. I'm the only one who will drink 2% milk. So the half gallon gets weighed out into 8 ounce containers and returned to the fridge in their little reusable thermos containers.

    When I make biscuits, I weigh the flour out and do not use a measuring cup. Any flour used for kneading that is left gets scraped up and weighed to subtract from the recipe.

    I have made hamburgers for a party and weighed each patty, and thrown away what would not divide evenly into the calculated weight of the others.

    I can actually nail the number of servings a peanut butter container has in it by the label to perfect accuracy. I weigh it out too.

    I actually own 4 food scales, 1 that travels, 1 at the office and 2 in the kitchen. Their batteries are changed the 1st day of every month whether they need it or not. They are also all the same brand and identical. I'm a lab tech and have used the calibrated weights to check their accuracy, they are in acceptable range. I do this often.

    Shall I continue. I have developed a lot of quirks over my 900+ logging days here.

    I think I love you.

    i had gastric bypass in dec of 2008. i lost a total of 100lbs.....in the past couple of years, i've gained 40 back. i feel like a total failure, but somehow that's not enough to get me to actually work at fixing it. i can eat a regular person sized meal now, and i hate myself for it, like i spent years just ever so slowly re-expanding my stomach so i could keep stuffing my face.

    but then on the other hand, i heart peanut butter cups and snack daily on fortune cookies (but only golden bowl!)

    My sister is Amanda, another Megan (early 80's lack of originality there mom, thank you!) and I used to get her fighting mad by calling her, in order of offense "Mandy, Manda-Panda and A-man-DUH".

    My mom and sister came home from work at 11 PM last night with subs, mozzarella sticks, and fried pickles. I proceeded to eat two slices of cheese pizza with jalapeño Tabasco even though I wasn't hungry. Fail. I really just need to shut my door and ignore them when they get home so that I don't eat.

    Doing a crazy one-hour cardio workout today as punishment. lol

    Aaaaaaaand I tweaked my lower back near the end. FML. When I hurt my back in January, I couldn't work out for 10 days. I am so pissed right now. Thanks, Bob Harper.

    I'm Jessi, and apparently I was ahead of the curve. Seems there were a crapton of Jessicas born when I was in middle school and high school. I was the only one at school, but we had about 12 Jennifers.

    Confession: One of secretaries at work coughs...constantly. It's a medical thing. She doesn't have a cold. I've been here six months. Seriously, she coughs every day, all day. My confession is that I want to strangle her! People close their office doors during the day and I am convinced it is because of her coughing. I wish the bosses would fire her just so I wouldn't have to listen to her cough. She's a nice lady and I feel kinda bad, but...


    I don't work in the same office with her but there's a woman who walks the same way into work that I do and she does the same thing! Constant coughing but not even a good cough. I've been wondering what it would be like to work in an office with her all day every day!

    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.

    A former friend had a husband named Charles and they got twins and named them Charlie and Charley or something. I don't even. As if it wasn't annoying enough to have a twin.

    There's a family where the dads name is Kevin and they have twins names Kevin and Nevik ...Yep.

    Also dude named his twins William and William.

    Came across a case child's name is Saule'berti. (Pronounce celebrity)

    Oh boy. In your line of work I can only imagine the horrid names you see! Why, WHY do people do that to their kids?! Yes, I know, because they believe they are all special snowflakes and have to give them "unique" names. Ugh.

    I also hate normal names but ridiculous spellings. Recently I've seen "Aughsleigh" (Ashley) and "Aleix" (Alex). What on earth is the point? Now the child will spend the rest of their life telling others how to correctly spell their name.

    Exactly!! Another girl her name is Alexxa..very pretty name but two X'a which when I see it I automatically think x-rated!

    I can't stand chronic coughers- I almost broke up with my boyfriend because he had such bad post nasal drip and refused absolutely REFUSED to go get steroids for it.

    Like dude. Do you have ANY concept of how effing annoying you are? for a simple solution? 60 minutes out of your life at the doctors office will save your life.

    The Most Serious Question

    The Struggle is real. That thread is not intended as a joke.

    Are you using the raw entry for bacon? If so, I'd assume it accounts for the fat already, so I wouldn't count it a second time with the chicken.

    Most packaged, US bacon doesn't use raw weight. The labels all give info for cooked weight, and you have to weigh after cooking, then hope you're close to how much they cooked the averaging samples. They also all mostly include some kind of added salt/sugar in their curing, so if you use a generic raw weight, you're going to end up low on something else instead.

    True enough, I need to double check mine at home. I scanned the (Canadian) Kirkland bacon, and it came up with "Kirkland bacon-raw", but I didn't double check the package to make sure it was actually raw or not.

    I decided that I was going to have 8 GG Sandwich cookies for my lunch. I ate 4 chocolate ones (all that was left) and then ate 2 white ones. I decided the vanilla ones were lacking, so put the other two back.

    IME the chronic coughers, sniffers, throat clearers, etc. do not hear themselves. They are totally clueless. My husband develops a dry, hacking cough every single winter for 3 - 4 months and I'm wondering how many more winters he is going to survive.

    I confess I feel the same way about the names that end in "Y", like Kimberly, Tiffany, Brittany, Haley, Stephany, etc...

    Kimberly here. I was nodding along with all of the name bashing on page 323 of the thread until I saw my own name get thrown into the mix. :(

    I confess, while trying not to judge, that I am annoyed that so many posts on this thread have become novellas. There are several posts that are a half page long...and ain't nobody got time for that. I may just be cranky because I am trying to catch up since Thursday!

    I've been skipping those...

    This thread is amazing! I've always felt like I was the mean one when I can't stand the constant coughs, kids stickers and so on, it's such a relief to see that most of us feel the same way!!

    Confession: several times I used to eat the whole candy bag / ice cream pack / whatever else, and would buy a new one the following day to replace it, so no one would notice I ate it... How gross is this!... Feeling quite ashamed to put it out there!...
