re: Ever used an alias in real life?

In the 90's my employer bought a competitor that required its sales engineers to use the same fake, gender-neutral alias on the phone (as in, "Robin Jones") to avoid customer confusion whenever they fired people.

We did away with that the first week.

When I place orders in line for something I usually just go with Jack. Makes things easier for everybody.

That's how I got my screen name here. It's pretty close to my actual name.

It came from a cow deal gone bad where an older man who was hard of hearing kept calling me Clyde Tipton.

When we finally saw the cattle and how poor their condition was, I backed out of the deal telling him they must have used old pictures because it was no where close to the actual condition of the animals.

As we were driving home someone said, "I know the old man is disappointed, but there is no way I'm putting those in with my cattle. They could be sick, who knows?"

I said, "Well, if he's cussing me to all the locals for backing out, at least he's cussing Clyde Tipton and not Cl@$ Ti*^^#@&."

A few times with chicks I wanted to bang but not have relations with. Used Stanly as my alias.

I once was ordering at Lit Pizza in BR. The guy in front of me had the same name as me, so I gave them a different name. Does that count?

I remember years ago (like 15) when I was at LSU, people would always give wild names to the long hair guy at New York Bagel. He gave no fricks, he would loudly yell “Order for Batman!!”. shite was hilarious at the time.
