I don't know what you're complaining about. I (as a 27 year old female) spent six months working for a company where they all insisted on calling me MARK because that was the name of the engineer before me and it was "simpler" that way.
I really dislike it when someone I don't know addresses me by my first name, especially (as is increasingly the case) when they're considerably younger than I am.

I will leave someone else to do the mark puns
This was a few years ago, I assume? No 'new men' around?
I'm 30 now Steve so not that many years ago!
I used to be called Bee. I didn't mind because I don't like my name.
Well, I did say 'a few' !
(phew!)
At work they kept putting n E on the end of my name on my name badge

Over the years I have become used to my name being misspelt (only my immediate family get it right).
I'm now past caring whether they use a "C" or "ine", there are so many different spellings and abbreviations and I can live with most of them.
Only one makes me physically cringe and that's Kath, I hate it.
People who use it are quickly put right with a frosty stare and if they continue to use it after they've been told I ignore them.
Am I a bad person?
