I am a Frenchman in America temporarily for work. When I got here I met the American I am working with, he asked my name and I said "Michael"(pronounced me-kale). He said "Heh, yeah, I'm gonna call you Mike".
Why do American do this? My name is not Mike it is Michael.

Haha based ameribro. Thanks for the thread, Mikey

Your name sounds too effeminate to be taken seriously, especially when an English equivalent exists.

Ameridumbs are incapable of understanding anything non-anglo sounding.

Just ignore him when he calls you mike. Dont answer to anything that is not your name as you said it to him.

Cool story Mike the Kike

basically when you gave him your name you became best friends, it's yank culture

Some of us are chromosomal deficient.

Kill yourself.

what's up Mike hahahaha

That makes dumb Americans go ballistic. You should do it.

I am not his friend and he is not mine. Friends is no excuse for this disrepsect.

americans hate formal language, when they hear names like pierre or michael they want to abbreviate and simplify. like nathan-> nate etc

Have sex

they just want to be friendly, nike

We shorten names, get used to it M.

If you're in America you're Mike not MihonhonIsuckledick, stop whining or go home
Same goes for every cunt

You do not deserve a country you dirty slavic shit.

Sorry to hear that Mike

Do not talk to our greatest ally like that.

One of my teachers in school called me "mee-chelle" all year growing up. I get it's a French school and they want immersion. but I didn't grow up in Quebec. I know she can pronounce Michael.

As revenge I go to Montreal twice a year, visit busy restaurants and loudly order in English.

Because it sounds like a mexican trying to pronounce the english name micheal. Try learning something. Mike.

We will liberate Quebec soon.

do you order poutine?

It's just how they are lad. I don't like it either.

Unfortunately your only option is to be blunt with him and tell him you don't like being called Mike and would prefer to be called your actual name, but then you'll be the 'rude' and 'arrogant' Frenchman for the rest of the time you're there. Gotta make a choice lad.

devious

I always get sexually aroused when Aussies and Kiwis call me "lad". I feel coddled and cozy like I am being wrapped in their big warm arms and talked down to.

Poo-teen yes. And ask for a bunch of untraditional toppings while explaining to tourists about its Canadian history.

I have, thanks for checking up on me though.

holy based

You do not work in other countries to "learn something" you work here to earn money and leave.

And so you will take you slave given name.

Get with the program mike. You come here you are globohomonized. Integrate or fuck off.

*tickles your bp*
