"That's too bad."

Rats. Again.
Never let your fear decide your fate.

Walk up to cafe counter. Place order. Woman swipes my card…

“Is that your real name?”
Yup.
“That’s too bad.”
Why?
“When I think of zero, I think of little,” she places her thumb and finger together as a “little” gesture, “God, I would HATE that name.”

Then I burst into tears.

Ok, just kidding — it was just a single tear — and I had to really work at it — and I held up the entire line for like 3 minutes as I let it slowly travel down my cheek. ;)

But seriously — I’ve gotta give her credit for speaking her mind. But I’m putting her in the penalty box for lack of tact. That was brutal.
