Not so ordinary, but somewhat confusing to me:

My mother went back to her maiden name a decade or so back, after which telemarketers would read "Seiko Kusachi," and call asking for "Psycho Kasuchi."

Well, that's how they pronounced it, for some strange reason. I didn't feel like asking if they'd ever heard of a watch company with a similarly spelled name, or how they switched two of the vowels.

I just said, "There's nobody here by that name."
