Questions I hate answering

I am Polish and I am proud of it. My heritage is probably the first thing people notice about me.

"Hi, what's your name?"

"My name is Madeline Strzelewicz."

From this point forward I wait for the inevitable series of questions that follow this introduction.

"Wow, what is that?"  This has to be one of the most irritating question among all the irritating questions.  Although this question is always poorly worded, I know exactly what the person is trying to ask about.  Either the person directly asks what my ethnicity is or even worse, they try to guess.  And for as many times as people have tried to guess, very few people get it right.  The people that do are my fellow Michiganders because Michigan and northern Ohio have large Polish populations.  But for the rest of you, no it is not Russian, German, or Greek. 

"Can you say that one more time?"  I don't mind this question too much because it is easy to answer, but what typically follows is the frustrating part.  Once a person has heard my last name they try numerous times to say it, butchering my name every single time even after I have tried to give helpful hints.  In all honesty, there have been points where I just give in and tell the person they are saying it right even when they are completely wrong.  At that point, I have weighed the pros and cons in my head and determined that I truly don't care if they know how to correctly say my last name.

Having to spell my name over the phone is probably the worst.

"Can I get your last name?" Yes, this is a simple question but usually when this is asked over the phone the person on the other line has to write it out...

"Uhh..Can you spell that for me?" This is the question I dread the most because spelling out an 11 letter last name that is spelled nothing like it sounds is always a disaster. Eventually, I have to break down every letter one at a time using a word that starts with that particular letter for the other person to understand what I am saying.  And sometimes after all of that, they read back through it one more time to make sure they spelled it all right and they still made a mistake. And trying to explain where that mistake is and how to fix it is a whole other pitiful story.

Last but not least,
"I bet you get that a lot."  Although this is not exactly a question, it is a statement that I hate responding to.  And all I have to say to that is why ask if you already  know the answer.  Yes I do get that a lot; thank you for continuing the trend. -___-
