Hey guys! How is everyone doing?! Well this thread is especially designated for anyone who has hilarious anecdotes of times when they opened the mail box and got something worth laughing over..... Whether it was a mispelling of a name, wrong address, embarrassing or insulting, whatever it was, share it with the rest of us!
Here's something that happened to me recently: Well I have a really long name, I'm from Hawaii so we have extra names than the normal American person, but I had recently applied to a job position. Well I got a letter in the mail reading this name:
Po Ho
Mind you that wasn't my name, but it didn't take long to put it together. Obviously I'm well used to institutions mispelling my name, or cutting it short which is understandable because its soo long but this was weird. My name is Joshua Sven Keli'i Po'ikuakahaihokeolapauila 'o Kamuali'i Danan-Ho'omanawanui. My first name is Joshua, I have 3 middle names, Sven is Swedish, Keli'i is Hawaiian, Po'ikuakahaihokeolapauila 'o Kamuali'i is a seperate Hawaiian name, and 2 lastnames hypenated, Danan is Swedish, and Ho'omanawanui is Hawaiian. Well you can see where they decided to butcher my name, and make up a new name. Now, to normal people, the name "Po Ho" sounds awfully weird I could imagine, but as an inside joke to locals here in Hawaii, Po Ho is a common slang which actually means spoiled, as in rotten or literally ransid. Overall not good, and it was made known to everyone once my sisters found it...... that lead to them calling me Po, like that hearty panda from that move "Kung Fu Panda".....haaaa... the worst part is that, the letter was to tell me that they already had filled the position i had applied for........ Yeah this may not be one of my funniest, but if people in Hawaii were to read this thread, they would laugh histerically guaranteed!
I want you guys to post your funny stories now!
