Welcome to the club

Steve used to have a job that involved being on the phone a lot. Apparently, people used to mistake his name for "Pete" rather frequently. I thought this was funny, but secretly thought he probably mumbled or something.

Last week, I was ordering some flowers over the phone. When we got to the part about what the card would say, I told the sales lady what the text should read and then "With love, Steve and Kate."

"Pete and who?"
"No no, Steve and Kate."
"Oh, Steve, short for Steven. OK. Steve and who?"
"Steve and Kate."
"Steve and Pete?"

Um...maybe he wasn't mumbling.
