Oh my god. This has happened to me before. I had issues saying my name so I would say “ah it’s lisa” — someone heard it as “Alisa” and I didn’t have the heart to correct them. Thankfully I seem to hav...

Not funny but a wierd situation: At my first job, I had a manager who had this very very mild stammer. Every once in a long while he would stammer on a random word. I didn't know then and also he was...
