my coworker is at the doctor's so i'm filling in for her at the front desk and like. this old guy rolls up, he can barely hear, and after some finagling i get him to show me an id so i can get his name.

he fishes out a veterans affairs id which has... no name on it. or so i thought. on closer inspection he has the initials "H,J" (not his actual initials) right under his picture. i'll cop to never having seen a VA card before so i was like "huh, do they use initials on these"?

so anyway, i asked him for his state id thinking that would have his full name on it. he gets it out and i fucking take a look and it literally just says H J. last name H! first name J! and i am like,

OH. THAT'S HIS WHOLE NAME

anyway he was pretty nice considering i gave him shit over his name accidentally. godspeed H J
