Have you ever said your username out loud and been embarrassed?

Dean820 · 13-12-2010 05:42PM #1

Long story short, I was discussing forums with a friend of mine today and mentioned boards.ie was probably the best. He said he used forums, too, and asked what was my username...I was little uneasy that he asked...but after I told him mine, I felt mortified, lol.

Have you ever said your username out loud and been embarrassed in a similar situation?

Okay I'll take this one..

What?

starlit · 13-12-2010 05:45PM

no....

KeithM89_old · 13-12-2010 05:45PM

Nope - my usernames so cryptic, no one would know it was me..:p

Biggins · 13-12-2010 05:51PM

No, but I've had a few others cry it out and get so...

Saila · 13-12-2010 05:52PM

whatever but Im sure cereal rapist or killer or whoever he is would be kicking himself, you dont get the benefit of seeing the different spelling when you are talking

4zn76tysfajdxp · 13-12-2010 05:54PM

I have but only because it seems that I'm the only person who pronounces it properly.

There's always an awkward moment when I meet a boardsie and I have to say what my username is. I really wish I had picked something like EpicSexyMan instead for moments like that.

Once my ex manager came up to me, in front of other staff members, and asked me if I was "bogeyassedbogman". To add insult to injury, I had to correct her and tell her that it was actually boneyarsebogman, much to the amusement and bemusement of my co-workers.

Is it Fray-da or Fra-da or neither?

Mr. Manager · 13-12-2010 05:56PM

What's there to be embarrassed about?

orourkeda · 13-12-2010 05:56PM

No considering it forms half of my real name.

Knasher · 13-12-2010 05:57PM

My friends have rung up my house looking for me via my username and my parents were able to put them through.

So basically, you told someone your boards username and then come on and post a thread about how you now feel mortified?

Imagine how you will feel when they read this thread ... and know who you are!

Dean820 · 13-12-2010 05:59PM

I told them I was making this thread.

Hm, I was thinking it might've been Fray-da. I would get unbelievably pissed off if everybody kept getting it wrong.

My name is URL · 13-12-2010 06:03PM

Yeah.. at the beers last year I was a bit embarrassed at first by having to introduce myself. Not by my username per se.. just the fact that I'm me

You do realise that we're all going to call you Frah-Dah now that we know it annoys you?

Can it be changed or does a new ac have to be created.

13-12-2010 06:19PM

If you subscribe, you are entitled to a name change, if I've got that right?

Annoy me? Don't be silly, nothing is more validating than being right while everyone else is wrong. I'll just be content in my correctness when that happens.

landsleaving · 13-12-2010 06:20PM

My username was my nickname already, handy that! I hear and say it all the time.

What was emabarrassing though, was having a friend who worked in xtravision put my name on the card as 'lands leaving' and trying to explain it every time I get a dvd.

Hail 2 Da Chimp · 13-12-2010 06:23PM

Why didn't you just spell it Frayda?

liah · 13-12-2010 06:23PM

Yeah.

Svetti Arss · 13-12-2010 06:25PM

No should I?

13-12-2010 06:27PM

Yeah.

Is it pronounced lie-ah or lee-ah? I always thought lie-ah.
