        Also people who get my name wrong incessantly even after they've asked me how to pronounce it for them.

          There's an indian woman here, I cannot pronounce her name - I've started to avoid her like the plague and am panicking about ever needing to speak to her. Am wondering if I can get away with calling her 'love'.

            If I get into that situation with someone else, I try and avoid using their names if I bump into them.

                Hth.
                I know about that one. In the spot I had a dozen years ago if I ran the extractor with the windows and door closed, I got a loud whistle from the kitchen door keyhole.

                It was just like the noise of the wind outside a haunted house in a horror movie.

                  Yes!! Or people who get through the ticket gates at the station and then immediately stop to put their ticket back in their bag. They get sent flying if I'm around

                    Well, I have to admit, I'm never sure if the 'e' is silent.
