Names that make you shudder...
Why
is it when someone uses your name in full, you
shudder? At least I do.. Authority uses it and you
shake.
IRS,
Doctors, Police Officers, Dentist, Teachers, anyone
who
uses your full name... And especially those who use
your
legal name when you use a nick name with friends.
Have
you figured out why that is? I sure know why. It wasn't
true
of my father.. and most fathers don't get the reaction.
But
YOUR MOTHER... who else when has had it with you..
used
your full name, and not in awe...lol..
Then
there is some of us, who not only use the full name when
you
are trying to rein in your child...but when the household
has
multiple children... as ours did.. sometimes you have to go
thru
the list of name until you get the right one. Putting every
one
on alert.
So,
next time someone says your full name and a slight shudder
comes
across your shoulders.. .... it is your mother's fault. lol

Until recently the doctor's office could only use the first name which resulted in several people rising when "Mary" was called. Reason? Privacy.
Finally they have relented and can call the last name along with the first. I must admit no shuddering - just happy to be next up to get out of the waiting room.
