Pet Peeve #32: Please do not assume that since my name is Michael that I probably go by "Mike." Time and time again I have people shorten my name for whatever reason.. I'm not sure why. My name is not Mike, I do not go by Mike, and would appreciate you not assuming so.

Exceptions to this rule include mildly humorous situations like Mike calling me and saying "Hey Mike, it's Mike." Or if Mike insisted on calling me Mike I'd let it slide, cause hey.. I went ahead and assumed I could call him Buzzard.
