Name Thieves

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's somebody who comes into a place where you're already well established, and then steals your name. Until Next week I will still be working at Chili's, and there is a server named Mike Peterson. Everybody calls him Peterson, or The Peterson. Now, he parades around as if he is the restaurant Peterson. Guess what? I was Peterson before he was, therefore I don't feel it's fair that he gets last name privileges. It's doubly hard for me to retain a name since I'm Dan Peterson, one of the most common first and last names especially with people in my age group, there are so many darn Dans. I have a friend named Dan Senesac and that is also his dad's name, as my dad's name is also Dan Peterson. What a coincidence. Either way, I was always called Peterson, therefore we were both able to retain a name, and actually, I usually refer to him as Senesac, though I think we both call each other Dan while we are in company. I don't know where I digressed but the point is that name thieves are gay.
