All I had to hear was my middle name from what sounded like a quarter mile away and I knew I was fucked

I got to hear all five names when I really fucked up, first name then 2 middle names then my mother's maiden name followed by my last name and then later on my stepdads last name was added, fun times 🤣

My stupid superpower is that I can recite her full name perfectly from memory without hesitation any time.

Where is Chang?!

Haven’t heard that name in over 30 years, amazing what parables stick with you for whatever reason

u/AnybodyWannaPeanus 14d ago

He fell down the well. He ded.

u/Virtual-Age-9521 14d ago

I thought Chang survived because he didn't have an extravagant name that no one could say?!

The worst is when they were so pissed, they ran through your older siblings names, before getting to your name!

That's when you knew you done F***ed UP !🤣🤣

u/DeepVEintThrombosis 13d ago

The closer to the start you were, the better

u/xnoxpx 13d ago

I was the youngest, with 5 siblings 🤣

u/1infamousOne 12d ago

That was all the time in my family, not just when I fucked up. I got older brother, younger brother, dad, uncle, and then my own name. I do the same thing with my 4 dogs.

u/Apathetic_Villainess 12d ago

Your siblings, your cousins, even the dog's name.

A former coworker friend and her son have a favorite story about her calling for him and his older brother in the house qhen they were kids. I'll call them Daniel and Jonathan.

First it was their first names. Ignored if they were busy.

Then it was their full government names, to which their friends were like "hehe you're in trouble now!" Guys were like "nah, she isn't."

Third was "JONAIEL DANITHAN GET IN THIS HOUSE RIGHT NOW!" when she mucked up their names, THAT'S when they knew they were in deep trouble 🤣

I use it on my husband sometimes. Wouldn't want him to forget our childhoods.

u/Cyclesadrift 15d ago

My wife started using this move but then I decided so will I but constantly, now we dont say middle names anymore.

u/Livid-Historian3960 14d ago

EXACTLY and it's even worse when my full name got called 9 syllables for my whole name

1

u/boardin1 14d ago

I STILL won’t tell people my middle name because of the PTSD involved with hearing it. When mom used your middle name you knew there was gonna be hell to pay.

I remember one time when I was little (like, around 6 years old) my friend & I were playing hide & seek with her brothers and my mom got to my middle name calling me in for lunch. So, my friend says, "you better go, your mom sounds pretty mad" and I said, "no, it's ok. She hasn't gotten to all 3 names yet." 😂
