Hello my name is...

Hello my name is name tags are now obsolete. For many years these retarded stickers were a staple in our society, but now it is harder and harder to find them in daily use. Hello my name is stickers were heavily used in business meetings and networking events. Men in suits pressed these stupid stickers to their coat lapels (the stickers curled up later) and waited to meet and greet a fellow business person and exchange pleasantries.

These stickers also seeped into the dating world. Single losers stood around some shabby bar and waited to find their potential mates. With the name already emblazoned on their shirts, single people never had to break the ice but did have to offer up a cheesy smile when extending their hands.

I asked a C.E.O. of a popular company about these silly stickers. He commented on the dying fad: "I oversee a team of adults...I just realized one day on my yacht that name tags are simply retarded. We are going without them in my company. These are grown-ups and just because I hardly ever work doesn't mean I should deliberately humiliate my employees." One of the employees who worked for the C.E.O. for ten years said: "I'm glad he made that decision. Now I can go home and look my wife in the eyes. She now knows I am not a retard. I don't have to share my name with anyone anyone. If someone wants to know it, they can ask me. But my name is not out there for the taking. I want to keep some things sacred. What's mine is mine and what's yours is yours."
