Are phoenetics really that hard???

Happy New Years Eve everyone!!

I really thought that when I married Ben I had come to the end of people screwing up my last name. I can understand people having problems with Caughlin, but Werner, how simple is that???

Well today I guess I'm feeling a little extra spunky, so when the phone rang this afternoon and it was the number that shows up on my caller ID like 5 times a day, I thought I'd finally answer it so perhaps they would stop calling.

Well the conversation went something like this:

Me: Hello (in a not so thrilled attitude)

Caller: Is this Rhonda Wiener

Me: No that's not how you say my name. Let me ask you something....how do you spell wiener?

Caller: w i e n e r

Me: Right, do you see an i before an e in my last name, no, so until you learn how to phonetically pronounce my name, I'm not taking your call. Click.

Who knows if they will call back, but I felt better!

Enjoy whatever you do tonight!!
