Our Life

In Domino's I'm 'O neill'. it just halts the possibility of yet another CRAP joke being laughed down the phone at me by a stranger

I only ever semm to get take aways when im with my girlfriend, so i just use her name.

"Name please"
"Becky"
"pardon?"
"Becky…"

What a great idea!

I always use my friend's name (nice, normal Emma when ordering a take out because it just saves having to repeat my name several times, spell it out and STILL get just a string of randomly put together letters on the receipt!

I always order takeout using a name from the country that the takeout is from. they never spit in your food if you do that. e.g. indian = Anil Chakrabharty, Chinese = Alex Lo.

gets it delivered faster too.

When I order TakeAway I use a pseudonym it saves the bother of correcting them 4 or 5 times. I don't know how many times I've had to spell my name in clubs or bars or just for a simple TakeAway meal.

me too, for booking Restaurant, I use my Aunty's name because I can't stand her but she has an easy 4 letters name. ;

This is great

I use my boyfriends name, nice & easy Pete!

Typically I use someone else in the room name. After realizing that all of us were not anglo… we went with John Smith.

I've been known to use "tom" at those coffee or juice bars where they write your name on the cup. Otherwise, they ask how to spell it, I have to spell it out, and then the poor sod who calls the names has to work out how to pronounce it. I save 3 people time and effort by a small lie. I am not 100% sure how my conscience feels about that!

I shorten my name to Kari because I can't be bothered to spell and repeat my name several times and go through the same thing when I pick up my order. Then someone I'm with always has to ask if I'm ashamed of my name. Of course not! I just don't have the patience.

this is the funniest and cleverest thing ive heard in ages. you've just made my day.

I jus usually go for Dee or Dina, but like most of the time I use my moms name, since its easier, and I dont have to keep on spelling it out for them.

I just use Chris Chan, saves me a lot of aggravation and the trouble of repeating myself just to have them get it wrong anyway

I like the idea of choosing a different ethnicity for the cuisine you're ordering ie Chinese, Indian etc. Might try that…

Starbucks and Jamba Juice and even Tully's know me as "Molly". Since when was ALICE so difficult to get?!

I just tell them the name is Morgan. I also tell taxi dispatchers that my name is Morgan. It's easier than having them get confused as to whether I'm Carrie, Kitty, Karen, Cara, or Kita WTF.

Mine is Sarah! lol

having to spell my name out to everyone is a pain in the ass! taxi services, takeaway, leaving messages for people.

people call me fran but even when i say that on the phone i get called Sam lol

Yeah i always get my boyfriend to order food/taxis/hotels etc to avoid the spelling of my riduculously long name. The only trouble in that his surname is Shermer which always leads to a "oh, Sherman", "No, ShermER, with an ER" type conversation. I think he's lucky that he only has to spell 2 letters!

That's really smart, using a fake name. I'll have to start doing that! I absolutely hate spelling out my whole name (KarlJohan Leuchowius, especially on the phone..

I love using a fake name for ordering takeout…
Lots of times I use the name of a fictional character that could easily be a name in real life.

Lily Evans
Evey Hammond
Elizabeth Swann
etc.
