Is this trolling?

There was a pretty good wait so they asked for a first name. My buddy gave the name of Ron Jeremy, he said he was from the south (kind of like Jim Bob etc) and said that was his first name after the greeter said they didn't need a last name. After a fair wait in the bar area, they broadcast his name and said table for 4 is ready, he purposely waited so they called it a second time over the speaker. He then saunters up to the desk with his wife in tow, and my wife and I as well. You should have seen the looks on the faces on some of the people there who obviously know who Ron Jeremy really is.

There's a popular restaurant (supper club) in our area that can have a huge wait, and it's common there for everyone to give a fake name. Lots of Arron Rodgers and whatnots.

At restaurants that ask for a name, I used to give them "Nixon" because it was easy to spell and everyone knew it. My actual last name requires spelling.

I knew I was getting old when I told the gal "Nixon" and she wrote down...

N...I...C...K...S...O...N

My wife and I do this too. And here I thought we were unique!

You two aren't alone. It's basically the only way to find my wife in a store. She is short and I can't see her over the shelves or displays.

We do this as well, and usually get a chuckle if there are other customers around. We also use the "Hooty-Hoo!" (Old Andy Griffith Show reference.)

Time to break out the Bart Simpson: I think I'm going to give my name as I.P. Freely, next time...

If I were to reference the Simpsons, my names would be Max Power with my significant other: Chesty LaRue, Busty Sinclair, or Hooty McBoobity.

Al Coholic…...Al Coholic…...is there an Al Coholic in the bar?

They still play Andy every weekday at 5:30 here. Hooty Hoo!

I think butchering names is a pastime for baristas. It's what they do to entertain themselves in an otherwise boring job. I know I would berkeley with customers if I had to deal with them face to face daily.

Years back when i was dating one girl I dated use "Ms Supreme Knockers" Good times.

I use "Mr. Humperdink" once. They came to get me personally.

I have a friend who was getting a load of crap from a customer at the Kinkos he worked at. The customer asked his name so he could complain. My friend told him his name was 'Jeff Dahmer'. Not sure if the customer got the joke or not...

I typically go with so ething simple and plausible like Bob. Anyway, this morning the woman in front of me orders and gives her name as Margot. I was inspired. this happened next:

That is actually my brother-in-law's nickname. He played D1 college water polo, and everyone around just calls him "Polo".

I use Flennis when asked for a name. My actual name (Craig) is apparently hard to spell, and even harder to differentiate from Greg. For whatever reason, nobody has a hard time with Flennis. Sometimes they ask me to repeat it, so I tell them "like Dennis, but with an F L". It works.

I've used Santa Claus, Donald Trump, Tom Cruise, Barack Obama, Mr Green Jeans, Captain Kangaroo, Cowboy, Elmo, and multiple women's names.

I often use the name on the name tag of the girl serving me.

I make it up every time. Just for laughs. Life's too short to go through it without messing with the people who ask silly questions that are none of their business.

Maybe I'll start trying to use some GRM user names!

Use "Teatime"

Correct them, it's pronounced Te-a-ti-me

In reply to stafford1500:

When I did impounded there were two of us that basically handled everything. When angry customers wanted our info to complain he was Pat McRoin and I was Holden McRoin. It was kind of worthless anyway since they spoke to one of us when they called to complain.

I frequently use Ben Dover or Dean Gullberry whenever I'm in a place that would deal with such shenanigans.

Peter Guzinya

ain't used that handle in years

The name's Snorklewacker. Giant Purple Snorklewacker. Pleased to meet you.

I think that idea will work fine.

I shall award you not one but TWO internets and a cookie if you provide photographic proof of mine.

I don't do this with names, but I give any place that insists on asking my mailing address 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, IL 60613.

I just get a $ sign (my last name is Cash)

We often use my wife's first name- Amy
