David Sedaris

new thing. Okay. And again, I go on these tours and that's why I'm traveling and somebody else is paying for my ticket and I'll admit it, I'm in first class. Already you're thinking, you don't have that much to complain about. Look, you're in first class. But the flight attendant kneels and looks at the manifest and says, Mr. David, what would you like?

And I'll say now, oh, can I see the manifest for a second? I say, see, it says David Sedaris. I said, David is my first name. My last name is Sedaris, so I'd be Mr. Sedaris. Because they don't want to take a chance on pronouncing your last name. So they just call you whatever your first name is. That's just laziness.

Part of my job when I sit down and write books is to pronounce people's names when they put them in front of me on a post-it note. And I pride myself on it. You know those Irish names? Someone said, oh, those Irish names, they always look like a Wi-Fi password. Yeah.

And those can be hard, but if you worked at the airport or something, you'd get them after a while. Chinese names, you'd get them if you took an interest and asked people, and you would say yes whenever you were right about them. So I just object to the laziness.

Buckminster is my first name. My last name is Street. It was interesting when I was in Australia, not a single person waiting for me at the baggage claim to take me into town said, how was your flight? Which I hate. If you ask me how my flight was, you're just dead to me. Yeah. And I've said to people before, that's such a bad icebreaker. I know. Then why do you?

Yeah. At a hotel, not a single person said, welcome in. How are your travels? Right. They would say instead, gosh, that suitcase. How did the wheels work on that? Are those good wheels on the suitcase? You know, the actual question.
