“Spell My Name” Game: LOL Receipts
When I call for food delivery, I make it a point to not spell out my name even if they beg for it. Here’s why:
Aside from saving on mobile phone airtime, I’d LOL-and-behold when I read out how they managed to spell my name on the OR. Funny tiems! Believe me, for people over the other end of the phone, the name FRITZ turns out to be a chore to spell correctly.
I present to you below samples of the purported “LOL Receipts.” These are all from restaurants because I’m a food-delivery junkie like that, despite my being the self-proclaimed great chef. The first three are from the same restaurant whose name shall be withheld to protect the innocent culprit.
Fred Entativa. Yes, close enough.
Take away the last letter of the first name and the first letter of the last name.
Meet Frit, Fred Entativa’s twin brother (refer to Exhibit A for Fred’s instance)
Another Fred, different surname
Lastly, the best of the bunch IMHO, and winning best in penmanship (drum roll please!):
Dan-da-raraaaaaaaaan-dapita! DANDAPITA!
Source is Singapore. Told you this isn’t a nationality issue!
Just like that, I’m now officially married! Yay!
First name only. Freck. LOLid gLOLd!
“Frit Entativa” gave me the LOLz. Dun worry, Frit, whenever I order pizza from Domino*s (I used an asterisk to hied their identity), my name always comes out as either “John” or “James” or “Jade”. Apparently, “Gino” is more difficult to spell than “Fritz”.
What? No instance of Jean-O, like ya noes, Jell-O? Beat this: during my first day at work, my boss emailed department heads to free up an hour of their scheds to give me the customary “New Employee Orientation.” I went to one and the Manager was all smiles and greeted: “Ohai! You must be Neo, welcome to teh company!” And I went all 0_o To save him face, I told him, “Sir, they usually call me Fritz, thank you.”
the Dandapita entry is a hands-down winner. ^_^ good luck on future transactions.
More take-outs then! And hopefully more boo boos XD
Now imagine them all trying to spell “Magnaye”.
Then imagine them all trying to spell “Carteciano”.
Share the errors, we all need the LULZ
hahaha!!! i love the last one :D siguro magalit ka na lalo if they got your first name wrong then correct ang surname. may diperensya na talaga mga tenga ng tao dun!
try ordering in the same resto and see what will be your new name ;)
Di pa kasi gumawa ng shared database katulad ng sa McDo, di ba? Or sa yellow cab where they even tell you what you last ordered and when. Surprisingly, di ako nagagalit. I make it a point to look at the receipts first before I enjoy the food. Saya!
O hai thar Frit Dandapita sup.
Best. Surname. Ever! XD
Dandapita’s cool! LOL.
My gad, ba’t naman ba kasi yan ang pangalan mo. T_T
Take that back! My name means “heat from a thousand brimstones and fiery furnaces in winter” so it’s beautiful no matter what the spelling 0_o
how funny naman. THe person messed up the T’s with Ds.
Nothing beats the trainee secretary who spelled out the name of my brother (David)- Secretary said “Delta, Alpha, Victory, India, Delta called up”.
uh
LOL. Last time I spelled my name using that I went,
“Foxtrot, Rom…”
“can you spell the fox…”
“…”
“…”
“that’s F-R-E-D”
I always go back to being Fred :(
What’s a “PORKO” and why does it cost 560 bucks, Fritz? If that is your real name. Dun dun dunnnn.
Porko, a pizza variant, can only be bought from… NUH-UH! NO YOU DI-INT!
Haha. Fun times. Let’s have the receipts laminated and mounted on the wall. Ito ba ang latest na pinagpuyatan mo? :P
Yus! Photos taken by my phone cam. Yon!
ZOMG IM LOLING SO HARD IN CLASS. I thought nothing could surpass Intaviba until Dandapita. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Posts like this should also have a NSFW or NSFS (school) warning. Dandapita sounds very exotic, not? Like some royal family in a South African tribe. I love it! XD
haha! the last one is hilarious!
Sing with me: “Dandapita….donde esta santa clauuuuuuus….donde esta” Ok, now, carry on.
Ganns Deen has been translated into Gangly, Guns Dy, and my personal favorite, Gandhi.
That Gandhi one is GOLD! XD
mr. dandapita, mahilig din ako sa porko! :)
Not as expensive as Yellow Cab but just as gratifying. Rapsa!
Dandapita is winnur!
Bestest LOLerfest ever! LOL
My name always gets spelled as BENCH. It may seem smug of me, but I’ve developed the habit of spelling my name out whenever service people ask for it - and half of the time, they still get it wrong.
My name has been spelled as Bench, Benz (by my host in Sagada, lol), Bhenj (at starbucks) and worst of all Bhench (also at starbucks, wtf).
Mayaman sila sa “H” ah. Suklian mo sa susunod. Heh!
hi fritz. first time here. lol.
anyway, as for me, i see to it i always know the military alphabet or whatever substitute that can come in handy before talking to people asking my name especailly over the phone. believe me. my three-letter nickname JON is ALWAYS misspelled as JUN. or worse, it will be spelled with an “H” - JHUN, JHON, JOHN, i so hate my name being spelled with an “H”. buset.
PS. as for Starbucks ordering, i use the name FREE or LIFE when asked. then everyone in Starbucks comes into the counter when the barista shouts “one tall iced white mocha for FREE!” LOL.
Here’s more “All Mankind,” “-tress,” “-mation,” “-ever,” and “World Peace.” I wouldn’t dare though. Thanks for droppin by!
Cannot wait to meet Mrs. Fritz Tentatica!!
Same here! LOLOLOLOLOL
para lang yang “konya” eh hahaha.
Konyang konya nga to men LOL
