Today, I introduced my coworker to my friend's boyfriend. When I mentioned his name, she started crying. Apparently he has the same first name as her twin brother, who died shortly after birth, so that name has become a bit of a sore spot for her. I didn't even know she had a twin. FML

Today, I went out with my friend and her boyfriend. Not knowing him very well, I accidentally called him by her ex’s name. He took that as a sign she was still seeing the ex and dumped her on the spot. She’s now not speaking to me for ruining her life. I’m just bad with names. FML

Wait. She bursts into tears as an adult over exposure to a name that matches a twin brother she never knew? What?

that girl has issues. to start crying over someone's name as an adult for someone she lost at birth shows she needs to talk to a therapist. she clearly needs help healing and I'd stay away from her for awhile because she can't keep her emotions in check.
