One time, I got a job at a large, chain electronics store as a warehouse associate. They already had a guy there named Tim, but they immediately decided that they liked me more than him, and renamed that Tim (that worked there for 2 years) to “Other Tim.”
“Other Tim.”
OT
Actually a badass nickname though, I would have leaned into that. But Other Tim doesn’t seem cool enough for that
My cousin dated two guys named Dewey (back to back, too). When she introduced the second one to us, we called him Dewey Twoey
Worked at a place with a guy named Todd. Then we got another Todd who was less than bright. He got nicknamed Re-Todd.
Literally othered
The enchanter!
Human Connor should know his place
Using Maxwell as the pic breaks the illusion of the story.
The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.I don’t see that in the screenshot anywhere
It was a tagline somewhere on 4chan.
On the other hand we get to look at Maxwell
the cat in the picture is named Maxwell. he’s a lad.
Oh snap! I once worked somewhere that already had a guy with my name and he asked me to use some other name. I thought that was bad enough (and told him no). But this is next level.

Honorifics work well in cases like this. Call the cat Connor-sama and the human Connor-kun.
Jokes aside, it’s probably easier for the cat to learn to ignore “Human Connor” than it is to learn a new name for themselves, right?
It’s probably easier for the human to recognise “Human Connor” than it is for the cat to learn a new name, right?
The cat isn’t going to understand ‘human’ either, so it’s just <human noises> CONNER <more human noises, where are the treats?>
Fake. You telling me people on that board have office job?
I know that’s a joke, but I worked with a friend who’d regularly discuss 4chan with me. I also sadly witnessed him slowly go from just laughing at Trump to supporting him, though that was back in 2015-2016. I moved and stopped using Facebook, so I haven’t had any recent contact with him.
Edit whoops, this is cats. If politics isn’t allowed here I can edit this.
💀
Btw, this is cats. Only highest level of politics is allowed here.
I just want people to be called by their preferred names and pronouns
I doubt Human Connor is going to be actually upset about this tbh
He’s upset enough that he voiced his preference. Choosing to ignore that stated preference might be fine in this context, or it might not be. But, assuming that someone is not actually upset about a behavior that they’ve requsted change seems like an unnecessary leap of faith.
It also seems like an unnecessary leap of faith to assume somebody is actually feeling usurped by a cat.
I mean, we can only go off of what is presented in the story, while acknowledging it’s 4chan and therefore both fake and gay. Within that frame, the new guy has been tagged with a nickname, he has mentioned to his colleagues that he’d prefer they not call him the nickname, and they are continuing to call him the name he’s expressly said he’d prefer they didn’t use. That’s a textbook hostile work environment, at a minimum.
