    Anyone else feel a bit weird seeing their pet listed with a surname? Vet yesterday went a level odder and was addressing them as Sir.

      I thought vets always did it to be cute but it probably helps line up animals and owners in their system.

      It’s extra funny when a pet is called something stupid because the last name then makes it sound so formal

      That’s extremely cute.

      Melbcat used to have a compounding pharmacy deliver her meds by mail, and it was addressed to her with my last name. Like, that’s right, that’s my adopted daughter. Who is practically people

          I think some payment apps accept “finger” prints as a signature… I better watch it

      Yeah. I call my dog Toby [my middle name][my surname] when he’s been bad. To hear someone else say it is weird.
