I just came from the mechanics garage. My old SUV was making a noise so I am getting it checked out. Its probably a wheel bearing I hope if ChatGPT is correct. If that the case it might be from $300-$1000.
The reason I am sharing this however is that he called me Bob. Now on my account there and what I have always told him is that my name is Brian. It was probably a simple mistake, and he was thinking of another customer called Bob but I thought it was funny.
On game places I have used the name Bob for a couple of reasons. One is that everyone else has a nickname. Two I didn’t like the thematic nicknames that people choose. I wanted something more human. Three is that I had an old friend named Bob that I thought would be safe. Fourth and I just realized this yesterday I loved The Black Hole as a child, and one of the heroes in that show is an old robot named B.O.B.
Many times in my life I have been called the wrong name. I just accept it and don’t think anything about it. People can be distracted and it was clear that he was thinking of me and taking the notes on the computer in a busy and confusing work environment. No reason at all to correct him.
Now if he called me Susan, that would be another matter.
