I remember a guy telling me that whenever a new woman started at work they'd phone her up say, "Is Mike there?" She'd say she was new & didn't know. "Oh, ok. Can you just stand up and call out if anyone's seen Mike? Last name Hunt." "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?" Cue applause from the whole room.

I used to work with a Michael Hunt. Brilliant guy and normally pretty chill, but woe betide anyone shortening it to it's diminutive form. I accidentally called him Mike once and he literally never responded to me again.
