Spells Something Else Entirely
California, Funny Names, Language & Words, Pharmacy, Sacramento, USA | Right | May 19, 2018
(I’m the customer in this story. I’ve just seen my doctor for the first time, and she’s sent down a prescription for me to the pharmacy downstairs. I make it up to the window, and there are a ton of people down there, so it’s a little noisy.)
Clerk: “It looks like your prescription isn’t ready yet, but I’m going to write down your name so we can call you when it’s ready. Can you give me your name?”
Me: *gives name*
Clerk: “And who’s your doctor?”
Me: “Dr. Fu.”
Clerk: “Sorry, it’s a little loud, I didn’t quite hear that. Can you spell your doctor’s name for me?”
Me: “Sure. It’s F-U.” *pause* “Oh, my God, that’s not what I meant!”
Clerk: *laughs*
