Post Traumatic Name Disorder
Resident funny man Benji Lovitt says he’s sick and tired of going to restaurants and cafes in Israel and hearing his name mangled over the P.A. system.
“Ben-Gay? Bungee? Your table is ready.” They’re just NOT getting it right.
He’s fighting back via the blog:
…I have developed what I call “Post-Traumatic Name Syndrome” where I become terrified at the sight of a coffee barista-type with a microphone, just waiting to scream “BAHN-gee” to the delight of everyone nearby. When they lean over to say a name, I jump…
Fortunately, to my surprise, they got it right last week at Aroma. When I saw the receipt, saw why: they had actually entered my name in English.
Go to Benji’s to find out how he has resolved the situation.
Vive le Massachusetts!
