When I worked at one of the local bike manufacturers, I was on the phone all day talking to bike shops.  When answering phones, I would say “Thank you for calling the bike division, this is Chuck, how may I help you?”  Here are some of the goofy ones I’d get immediately after that:

• “Uh yeah, Craig, I need…”
• “Hey Doug, I was wondering…”
• “Hi John, do you have…”

I can understand that there are glitches with the phones and folks won’t always hear you correctly, or maybe I’d had too much coffee that morning (I was and still am notorious for making some seriously thick, black, crude coffee), or whatever.  But I got a new one today when calling a bike manufacturer and talking to him for about 10 minutes.  I think he clean forgot my name and was fishing for SOMETHING, anything, because when I said thank you and goodbye, he said, “Alright, thanks Brad-tchhhh.”  Or maybe it was Branch.  I don’t know.  I DO know that it was lightyears away from how you actually pronounce my real name and I don’t have any umlauts above any letters in my name.  As far as I know.
