Clinton Yates, a columnist for The Undefeated and a panelist for ESPN, became angry when a male flight attendant addressed him by his name. The employee apparently used flight info to try to greet all passengers by their names. And no, not just the lucky ducks in first class who get the warm lemon-y towels and warm chocolate chip cookies. But also the masses,

...

And then, “Yeesh. I feel bad for all these people whose names were just put on blast for no reason.”

Is your name “put on blast” when an Airlines employee says hello?

Soon Yates began fighting with a male follower who couldn’t understand what his problem was.

Annnnd we have another “journalist” in the past couple days trying to create headlines. As if there aren’t real stories waiting to be told but they can’t be bothered to get out of their cubical to find them.

Ok, these days with all the techie spy stuff, I wouldn’t want my name known to a dozen passengers sitting around me but I wouldn’t make it a federal case. Speak in private to the crew about your concerns and leave it at that.

When I use my Pizza Hut App to order and I walk into the Store to pickup my food, the Cashier calls me by my Name. It’s right there on that Computer Screen thingy.

First time it happened I was so freaked out that I ran out the door into the Street and almost got run over by one of those Dominos Delivery Trucks.

Do I need a Sarc tag?

If they greet me by name, it better be “Mr. Lurkin”

A total stranger calling me Benjamin is grating. Even worse is the occasional “Mr. Benjamin” (what’s up with that?)

Buddy, you aren't important enough to even worry about it.

Look at it this way. 99% of the public didn't know your name. Now 20% do, and have decided you are a total asshat.

“”Do I need a Sarc tag?””

Could be. The Sarc discriminator level is set pretty high for some folks.

When in doubt, ‘sarc’ it out
