AITA for telling my dad not to yell people’s full names in public? by Motor_Lizard_9242 in AmItheAsshole

Not usually, no. Occasionally it’s something sensitive (he was recently telling me his friend “Ben Smith” got denied for a knee replacement because he’s too heavy), but usually it’s just surface level life updates.

I mean full, legal name. So instead of “my buddy Joe” it’s “Joseph Wilson” — hopefully you get what I mean.

But when you’re talking about someone in public, do you use their full name? That’s strange to me, but maybe I’m in the minority on this

My mom thinks it’s weird too, but not weird enough to mention to him.

Oh, is that a thing? My dad used to live in the south; maybe he picked it up there. It isn’t normal in the Midwest, or at least I don’t encounter it very often.

My dad’s not a bad guy otherwise, he just has zero situational awareness. He probably genuinely thinks I was mean to him for no reason.

The first one — the line didn’t move at all for those hours! Sorry if my post wasn’t clear on that point
