Your talents are wasted there. They are robin you blind.

I'd take chem physics or math over effing dodgeball any day

Welcome to Bored Panda.

Lol this is hilarious

I actually like being an adult, other than all the stupid paperwork.

The best upgrade!!

When my dad died his brother came to the funeral and I hadn't seen him for about twenty years.....frightened the hell out of me.

One the other hand, my 3 year old wakes up at 5:00 and, with more glee than any human should have at that hour, annouces to the house, "ITS MORNING TIME EVERYBODY!!"

The hunter is now the hunted

Reminds me of a guy I know named Jay who named his son Jayson...

Double hero

I hope they’re going to give him his money back

Well excuse me but this thirtysomething doesn't like wearing a raincoat because it gets all gross and sweaty inside.

It’s a very important question

Lmao this is the best possible outcome

Or a mysterious lady dressed all in black with a black umbrella who smokes a cigarette a bit in the distance

Couple goals?

😂 my name has been Caca for over 20 years! Recently it's been upgraded to Cacky!

My paternal grandfather was called Adda, because I tried to call everyone Dadda. He's been dead half a century, but he's still referred to as Adda in the family

Went to school with a girl that everyone called Dee. Every now and then we'd have to do a thing were we told everyone our full names. Turns out her name is Cynthia and there's nothing in her name that begins with a D. Everyone asked the obvious. Turns out her older brother who was learning to speak when she was a baby couldn't pronounce her name (or the shortened form of Cindy) and kept calling her Dee so the name stuck. For myself, I could not pronounce my aunt's name when I was learning to speak. Her name was Geraldine and, given the good ol' North Carolina accents we have, I kept calling her Gerdine. Finally she said "just call me Aunt (pronounced like ain't)" so for forty years until she passed in 2021 that's what everyone called her.

When my daughter was expecting my first grandchild, there was tremendous discussion about what they would call ME. Grandma and granny were right out because I always view a grandma or granny sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair with a shotgun across her lap and that ain't me. I suggested "Mimi," which is cute and is also a diminutive of my actual name, but my kids knew a Mimi that they hated so they nixed that. We finally settled on Gigi, which even sounds cute when toddlers are learning to talk.

Beep = grandfather in my husband's family. We have a great friend called Bim. I didn't find out till years later his name is really George.

I never had grandfathers and neither do my kids.

I am Aunt NiNi. There are no Ns in my name.

My son said he's going to have his future kids call us something like Krank and TriggerSwitch! LOL!

So I have an Uncle, that for some reason I can't remember, I started calling him Uncle Fred when I was teenager and it just stuck to this day. I was visiting with my Auntie and Uncle last weekend and their 6yo granddaughter was there. The 6yo had asked me if she could have something and I told her to go ask Uncle Fred and she had no clue who I was talking about haha. I then said go ask Papa but later explained that I had not called him Uncle Danny in so long that I forgot his actual name is not Fred...lol

When my mum was little she couldn't say her brothers name Chris, she used to call him kip and Lord knows why but the name stuck and even me and dad use it now

Mine is RoRo. Yup 23 years later and that's still my name.

I work at a daycare. My name is now either Eshmaya or Ehsmeeah. My real name is Samaria...

When my niece was pregnant, her mom and my brother decided on titles. Of course mom was Nana. My brother chose Mongo (from Blazing Saddles).

My Grandma Nola went by Granola for many many many years.

I called one of my grandmas "Country Grandma" cuz we live in St. Louis and she lived in the Ozarks. So I decide I'm too old to call her that. Instead of just saying Grandma, I yell "C**T!!!" really loud in Walmart. This is not Australia. She was embarrassed.

Queen Camilla has been gaga for years!

I just called my sister Sheesha the other day. She's been called that for about sixty years. Her name is Lisa. Damn my infant tongue and it's longevity.

We got a gramma wacky over here

Mine is "Moto". When my granddaughter Chloe was a baby I used to tickle her tummy and blow raspberries on it saying "Hello Moto", in the same voice as the Motorola phone commercial. So, I became "Moto".

ha ha

I was Aunty BaBa for a few years

I named my grandparents MeeMaw and PeePaw when I was little.

I called my grandparents "Grandpa" and "That". Probably because they asked "Who is that" and pointed to my grandma and I decided she was called "That".

My grandma was called Magas cause as a tot i had isses with compound words (would swap the words) so id call her MaGa (instead of GaMa) and then magas just stuck :) and my childhood bff's grandma was called Burr

Paka for me

The tough part is when you're only 42 when your name changes to grampa and you are symbolically old from then on.

I have read this before, and told this to various people who found it very funny. “Peepo” lol if and when I have grandchildren, they can call me whatever they w ant!

My oldest cousin used to mispronounce or even make up names in a hilarious way when he was a toddler. And those names stuck ever since. So my dad became "Teuteu", my uncle was "Otro"... and my mother, "Cagou", which made my Brazilian girlfriend laugh a lot when we told this to her, since in Portuguese "cagou" means "I shat".
