Who's asking for your last name every time you're going to a restaurant?
Cartwright? Cartwright?
in france that's very standard
We used to call each other by the surnames in middle school.
That is very much not standard. Everyone just did it. I didn't even remember to respond to my first name the first few weeks of high school.
I’ve only seen that for people with similar first names as other people in a school or workplace. Then again, I was born just before the Brayden/Ayden/Mxyzptlkayden generation.
Reservations?
Are they checking identification? Why not just say you're Abe Froman to the Maître d'?
