    One time, I got a job at a large, chain electronics store as a warehouse associate. They already had a guy there named Tim, but they immediately decided that they liked me more than him, and renamed that Tim (that worked there for 2 years) to “Other Tim.”

        Actually a badass nickname though, I would have leaned into that. But Other Tim doesn’t seem cool enough for that

      Worked at a place with a guy named Todd. Then we got another Todd who was less than bright. He got nicknamed Re-Todd.

    Jokes aside, it’s probably easier for the cat to learn to ignore “Human Connor” than it is to learn a new name for themselves, right?

        The cat isn’t going to understand ‘human’ either, so it’s just <human noises> CONNER <more human noises, where are the treats?>

          Cats can definitely recognize phrases made up of multiple words, as words themselves don’t have a meaning for them.

      I’m not sure, maybe we underrate them. I knew of a dog that also answered to being called by two different names, it was so amusing when I saw it.

        I mean, who DOESN’T have a pet that responds to both “[real name]” and some variant of “Shithead”?

        I don’t doubt that they can learn it, but it will probably take the cat longer than the human. Sounds totally fair to keep that in mind.

      The cat been responded to “connor” for so long, adding a “human” or “cat” at the front mean nothing to them.

        I think they can learn to ignore “human Connor” fairly quickly when they don’t get the response they know/want.

      I know that’s a joke, but I worked with a friend who’d regularly discuss 4chan with me. I also sadly witnessed him slowly go from just laughing at Trump to supporting him, though that was back in 2015-2016. I moved and stopped using Facebook, so I haven’t had any recent contact with him.

      HC does work nicely and I’d 100% go by that. I’m learning Spanish and if my name was Connor I’d ask for MC - Mejor Connor = Better Connor.

      I’d hop onto every Zoom call and open with “Mic Check 1, 2, 1, 2”

    Oh snap! I once worked somewhere that already had a guy with my name and he asked me to use some other name. I thought that was bad enough (and told him no). But this is next level.
