Did you break your hand? Was it plastered? Did this prevent you getting the top off the medicine bottle, so that you had no pain relief? Was the showing of your ID (perhaps in order to buy medicine) relevant because at that point the shop person would realise you needed help to buy medicine or indeed any other items which require ID?

Is your name common in both Germany and the Netherlands? but in the Netherlands usually spelled differently? So when you said your name in the Netherlands it usually got spelled the Dutch way? and you had to explain that yours is spelled differently? was that your inconvenience?

by **doriana_** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 8:35 pm

Is your name common in both Germany and the Netherlands? but in the Netherlands usually spelled differently? So when you said your name in the Netherlands it usually got spelled the Dutch way? and you had to explain that yours is spelled differently? was that your inconvenience? Yes to all!

********SPOILER********

My last name is common in German and Dutch, but the most common Dutch spelling is slightly different. Every time I had to give out my name or my e-mail address while living in the Netherlands, I always had to clarify that it's "Ackermann with ck and two n's". Surely not the biggest inconvenience, but I'm still glad I don't have to do that any longer, having moved back to Germany.

Good one. Reminds me of the Norwegian propensity to misspell my Mother's Swedish maiden name in a plethora of creative ways.
