When people know how to pronounce my name, but do not do so. My name is Leiann Lynn Rose Spontaneo. pronounced (lay on) (lynn) (rose) (spin ten yo). I understand if you do not know me and need to be corrected, but those who fail to and know me... so annoying.
Second, say you cough or something and you say "Excuse me" out of politeness, and the person you are with says "Your excused". Who appointed the person the royal majesty diploma?
Third, (you are going to laugh)... When I disagree with a person, simply disagreeing, the person tells me I have an attitude problem.
How about you?

@Spontaneo I bet a lot of people do not pronounce your name right.

In our language every letter has way that ist pronounced and when you read its always same for each letter. We dont have 2 different words (when you write them) that are pronounced same.
For me one of the things would be when people give themself freedom to talk to you anyway they want and we just met. I think everyone should speak with respect.

That is why I have the nickname RR because my name is so hard to pronounce my parents themselves cant pronounce it but they gave me this name anyway. SO I am just simply RR.

I can relate to people mispronouncing your name. People get my first name right, although they often misspell it. Hardly anyone who is not Serbian or Croatian can pronounce or spell my last name correctly. I don't worry about it.

I agree with you on these. I can not take it if a person thinks they are on a higher scale than I am. I remember one particular thing that bothered me for quite a while. Luckily it was with a stranger and I never had to see that person again. We were on a bus and I had to get by them so the first thing that came to mind was pardon me. The person grunted at me you're pardoned Say what? We was expecting oh, I'm sorry for blocking the way or sorry and then moving out of the way but even as they pardoned me they still left me barely enough room to get by
