applying for a rewards card. i put my maiden name in the application form.
then the assisting personnel asked for an ID. i gave her one.
ooops, i saw her entering my married name on the computer. she based it on my ID!
me; 'ay! don't use <married name>! use the one i wrote on the form. that's my maiden name.'
legally i'm still married so my government-issued IDs and other official documents still have my married name. this is just a rewards card though. i think it's okay to use my maiden name. that's still me anyway. i could produce proof if necessary.
there's a horse with no name (hello, america. hehe).
there are even people who do not know their real name and end up borrowing someone else's.
me, i have one too many names.
indeed a world of contrasts we have.
