arishaSo as you may know, I work at a movie theatre, and on our nametags there's a space under the name where we're allowed to put the title of a movie. I think the official line is that it's supposed to be our favourite movie, but since the nametags have stopped being classily engraved and started being whipped off on a label maker, people have started putting whatever crazy movie title they want. (And a particularly bold co-worker has temporarily replaced his name and movie title so that his nametag simply reads "McLovin.")
Anyway anyway, that last part has nothing to do with anything, because this is an entry about my nametag, and how it reads "Sarah" one on line and "Aladdin" on the next. Here is the conversation that most frequently ensues when a customer notices this--
Them: "Why does it say 'Aladdin' on your nametag?"
Me: "That's my favourite movie. :D "
Them: "Awwww, how cute!"
I have to resist the urge to shout "IT'S NOT CUTE, IT'S AWESOME!!!!!," but otherwise, whatever. xD The second most frequent conversation puzzles me a little bit--
Them: "Why does it say 'Aladdin' on your nametag?"
Me: "That's my favourite movie. :D "
Them: "Oh, I thought it was your last name."
Hahaha what. I have also recently had this one--
Them: "Why does it say 'Aladdin' on your nametag?"
Me: "That's my favourite movie. :D "
Them: "Oh, for a moment there your hair was covering the 'Sarah' so I thought that your name was Aladdin! And I thought, what a horrible mother that girl must've had! At least she could've named her after ... what was the name of the girl in that movie?"
Hahahaha what the heck. (And oh man, if I was named after Princess Jasmine, I would have to be at least five years younger than I am. Which reminds me of this conversation-- "Two tickets to blahblahblah please." "That'll be nineteen-ninety." "What, is that like the year you were born?" UHM WHAT THE HECK NO IT ISN'T AND WHY IS MY BIRTHYEAR COMING INTO THIS CONVERSATION AT ALL?????)
But tonight only one person felt it necessary to bring my nametag into the conversation, and this is my favourite reaction by far--
Them: "Why does it say 'Aladdin' on your nametag? Is that your favourite movie?"
Me: "Yep. :D "
Them: "Fuck yeah!"
