WTFs of the day

Now, I know my first name isn't easy to spell if you've only heard it spoken, mostly because of all the schwas. In the past I've gotten Merideth, Meridith, Meradith, and a variety of other interesting misspellings.

Today, however, is the first time I've ever gotten a package addressed to Maradeath Patterson.

Also, the convenience store in my yuppie-hell apartment complex now sells hookahs. And the flavoured molasses tobacco to go with them. No, I didn't buy one, but I did pick up some of those fast-lighting charcoal blocks to use with the various kinds of resin incense I have lying around.

Uhm, who did you get that package from? Did it have a return address at 1000 Holcombe?

Hahahahaha. Are you kidding? I give succubi my P.O. box, not my house address.

(It was actually the official checks for $company. Big thumbs down to whoever my banker was dealing with, too, because not only did they get my name wrong, they also got my apartment number really wrong and the package languished at the front desk for a week and a half.)
