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.”
“Other Tim.”
OT
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.
Damn that’s rough on Other Tim
My cousin dated two guys named Dewey (back to back, too). When she introduced the second one to us, we called him Dewey Twoey
The enchanter!
Literally othered
Using Maxwell as the pic breaks the illusion of the story.

Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.I don’t see that in the screenshot anywhere
TIL I’m a fool.
On the other hand we get to look at Maxwell
My name is Connor, I am the
AndroidCat sent byCyberlifethe Cat Distribution System 😼at least I’m not the only one whose mind went there
the cat in the picture is named Maxwell. he’s a lad.
I’d totally run with that and say you can call me HC for short!
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”
“My friends call me Jesus.”
You don’t fuck with the Jesus
Fake. You telling me people on that board have office job?
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.
Edit whoops, this is cats. If politics isn’t allowed here I can edit this.
💀
Btw, this is cats. Only highest level of politics is allowed here.
I would be honored to be called Human Sanctus if there was already a cat with my name.
Honorifics work well in cases like this. Call the cat Connor-sama and the human Connor-kun.
And i think we know about as much as we need to about Human Conner.
While I think it’s fun and I personally have fun when colleagues share the same name as me, I believe it’s a form of harassment and bullying if you request not to be called something other than your name and people at work, a professional environment, refuse to do so.
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.
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?
It’s probably easier for the human to recognise “Human Connor” than it is for the cat to learn a new name, 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”?
they don’t respond to shithead, but they get called shithead
Mine responds to: her name, bitch, dog, and puppy.
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 would love to have that nickname
“Just Call me human John Smith!”
Day 163 they still dont know im a kitten with legal license.
