Sometimes you step on someones foot and its a mistake. Sometimes someone doesn't care if they step on your foot or actively try to do so.
Having a conversation that goes "well I stepped on a foot by accident once does that make me satan?" is ridiculous.
Its really not that complicated guys.

How is that creepy? It is normal to use someone's name to address them.

I think he was specifically referring to people making a joke about the name, rather than those who are merely unable to pronounce it.

Where do you shop? Also I would be pretty surprised if people did this was outside the US.
I’ve had many be unable to pronounce my last name and simply spell out the initial or fade into a mumble, is that a micro aggression? Mine is a simple last name to pronounce for native English speakers. Do I call these people microagressprs?
