JinxyMcDeath Should Be Put To Death

In my daily quest for amusement, I was all too happy to read Gawker's analysis of last night's Real Housewives of NYC. I usually am so satiated by Emily Gould's insight, that I see no need to read the comments that follow. And, it is true, that I found that Gawker handled Countess Go Kill Yourself's need to be called by Bethany's driver Mrs. DeLesseps very well. I was just about ready to enter another contract within the database, when co-counsel drew my attention to JinxyMcDeath's comment:

"I'm a lawyer at a big law firm here in NYC. I would NEVER let someone call me "Ms." Everyone is welcome to call me by my first name, as I am to call them by their first name. If someone at the firm (i.e. secretary, clerk, etc.) calls me Ms. I immediately say "please call me, Jinxy McDeath." Anyone who doesn't is a douche."

Wrong, Jinxy McDeath, you are so clearly the douche. Are you really comparing yourself to being a countess, Luann no less, because you are a "lawyer at a big firm?" I am not belittling your achievements, as I am a lawyer at no firm, but for the love of Christ, I did not notice that Prince William was scouting on campus recruitment to work 25 out of 24 hours a day because he needed to pay off his student loans. I mean really Jinxy, Countess DeLeesepps does not need to work anywhere, let alone as a slave to some big corporate practice.

What are you, 25? Do you think the "secretaries," "clerks," garbigites who do your document review, think that you command enough respect that they need to refer to you by anything by your god awful first name? I do not think so. In fact, I imagine the moment you f*ck up some assignment, the secretaries secretly chat about how you are the dumbest first year associate and then quickly edit your work so it is presentable.

My only hope for you is that you do in fact run into Countess DeLesepps as her divorce attorney and make the mistake of calling her LuAnn. At this point, she most likely will tell you to please refer to her by her proper name as attorneys, much like those who repair her drain pipes, are merely providing some type of dirty labor for her.
