As of late, the Twitter ‘storytime’ trend has been on a rapid rise. People with larger than life experiences have taken to their social media accounts detailing the dramatic and often humorous happenings of their lives.
However, the latest tale to find itself trending might be the best yet, surrounded around plain stupidity, overstated privilege, and sweet retribution.
Subtract the profanity seen here and there, and this 22-tweet long account is one worth embedding in the workplace.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Torra’s white co-worker refuses to learn her name.
- He disregards her name plaque and calls her “Laquisha” b/c ‘all hood black girl names’ sound the same.
- She gets revenge by calling him different stereotypical ‘white’ names everyday.
- The whole office eventually gets in on it, and he apologizes.
But, read the full thread below, and let @Blackmajiik tell it to you in her own way.
So I had just gotten promoted and had moved to sit with my new supervisor and team. I was a little nervous because this area was white af.

He comes to his seat and introduces himself as 'Evan'. Asks my name. Mind you, my new desk has my name on it.

He scoffs and says to my black ass face "Whatever, I won't even try. All those names sound the same anyway!"

He shrugs and says "You know, those hood black girl names. They all sound the same so I refuse to try" And laughs IN MY FACE!!!
