Allie

I don't like when people use my name too often, Allie.
It's like they're interrupting Allie themselves with myself.
Allie.
But I'm not Allie the one doing the interrupting.

I understand that you want my Allie attention, but this is not the way to get my Allie attention.
It just becomes very distracting and hard to see you through all of the Allie you're putting into the conversation.

Why you gotta say my name so much?
Are you afraid that Allie you'll forget it?
Because if that's the case, you're a pretty forgetful friend Allie.
Considering we've been friends for like half a Allie decade.
And are you trying to make sure that I know my name?

I know my name.
It's Allie.
Thanks for the reminder.
Allie.

I like personalization to a point, but now you have belabored it and made it less of a name and more of a stupid word.

I still think people are unfamiliar Allie with the way e-mail works.
Did you know that when you hit "reply", Allie, it goes back to the person who sent the message to you?
Ergo, there is no need to place my name Allie at the end of every other sentence.
Who else would you be directing your sentences to? Did you hit "reply all" Allie by accident?

By the way you cyber-yell my name, I'd think we were in a crowded auditorium and you were trying to get my attention from across the room.

Stop all the cyber yelling.
And all the yelling altogether.

I mean, really.

My name is Allie,
TWS

  1. Well their marketing ploy sure got your attention, though I'm not sure it's the attention they were going for.
