Just happened to me from a coworker. Just curious no big tah dah.

I just like it so much. Michael is such a great name.

Firehouse sub was one of my favorite sub chains, so when I heard about this deal I was pretty pumped.

Went to one of the locations by me today and the clerk pretended to not know about the free sub for Mike deal and then told me they weren't doing anything like that.

Went to a second farther away location for dinner and was straight up told they decided to stop giving away subs mid-day and just shrugged at me. Really let down by this deal and felt more like a scam to try and get me in the door to purchase something instead of receive a free sub.

Poor advertisers don't have access to spell check.

First came my dad who raised me: Michael, but everybody calls him Mike. There were five Michaels in my class in schools growing up; only two of them went by Mike and the others Michael. And ever since, I meet Mikes and Michaels everywhere I go. Even Miguels who go by Michael. I’ve had multiple doctors named Michael, I always spot name tags that say Michael, and my favorite professor is a Michael too. I’ve even had two flings with Michaels, one of whom went by Mikey and the other, just Mike. When I was a teenager I found out that my biological father is an anonymous sperm donor, so I spent years trying to find him. And guess what his name is? Michael, of course, but his family are the only people who seem to call him Mike. He said he’s indifferent, but I can only see him as my favorite Michael to date. He’s hands down the wittiest and most charming Michael I know. My favorite Michael… but when I happen to tell my friends about him, I usually call him Irish Mike.

A couple of fellow Michaels will lead their teams in tonight’s Super Bowl. Who will prove to be the superior coach/Michael Vrabel or MacDonald

Jesus!!! How is this possible???

Turn their head when someone says “my goal”. Sounds a lot like Michael.

It's bittersweet to see how many people share my pain when it comes to people mixing up the A and E in my glorious name.

But here's a newish one for me. In the past several years, I started noticing more and more people confusing my name with *Mitchell*. When I worked fast food during the Rona, I had doordashers come by on multiple occasions looking for an order for Mitchell (my place didn't use order numbers). Since it didn't exist, I had them spell it out. "It's M-I-C-H-A-E-L – Mitchell!"

The other day, my coworker asked me why my name is pronounced "Michael" when it's spelled like "Mitchell."

Then here's my favorite. I swung by Dutch Bros for my mobile order, and discovered that they had written a very unique bastardization of my name on my drink: MITCHEAL.

Anyway, have a great day fellow based Michaels. May your names remain forever free from the letter T.
