Ugh, Plei. Tone deaf. I'm sorry the family is riding the tactless wave this week.
Becky? Oh hell no. msbelle, you may be the nicest, but I'm not. I know people. You want that the offender should disappear?
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ha! msbelle is so not a Becky.
My first thought as well. Why would you ever shorten someone's name without knowing that they went by that nickname? Especially in a business setting.
Plei, ugh. I'm sorry your family is being so difficult this week.

This post brought to you by OMG, MOTHER! I AM GOING TO CRAW UNDER A TABLE NOW AND BOGGLE.
On the plus side, now that your brother and mother have both checked in this week with their their particular character sets, we appreciate your awesomeness EVEN MORE.

Oh my goodness, Plei, I just came across that. Since it isn't my mother, it kind of made me giggle, but I imagine it is not funny if it is your mother.

I've never had to say "please don't call me Tommy" to anyone more than once. Maybe they can sense the rage right below the surface.

No one really ever calls me anything except Nadine. Except in middle school when people decided my nickname should be Neigh-Moo, which is just odd, and one friend in college who thought I should be Mel.
I do however, get called Nancy, Naomi, Nellie, and Renee a lot.

If he were here, I would correct him. Over email I won't. My email signature is my full name. Take that as a prompt! Perhaps someone on HR should be better at such cues.

Shrift, having never met me you have no idea how funny that is.
