I am now curious of these names that were written on cakes now. Im now also craving cake, so thanks lol.

If you really want to know, I can give you a few people ACTUALLY had me write on cakes where I work:

Doobie
Deuce (mother claimed it was a french name)
Mr. B
Peaches
King
Saturn (according to the boyfriend at the time, that's the car where the child was conceived and the mother wanted to name her that)
Shat (don't ask)

Quite a few I had are unfortunately not forum appropriate. The ones I listed are the more tame ones I've had over the nearly 17 years of working.

Who the hell names their daughter after the car they were conceived in? ( also, why a Saturn? A Mercedes, I could see, but Saturn?)

I genuinely wish I knew why they thought it was a good idea. People tend to talk about things in front of me for no reason, like that one where some hospital worker was taking flowers in to his work, and I asked if he needed help, and then he suddenly started to blurt into a whole thing about this girl he knew having an affair with another man.

Just why? Why tell me these things? I don't need to know them and yet people tell me them anyway.

I think sometimes people just need someone to talk to. Some people just have one of those faces or the right demeanor or something that makes others feel comfortable enough to confide in them. I've had random people tell me things I probably didn't need to know before, but they clearly needed someone to listen. I'm not much for talking to random strangers, especially in public, but I understood. It's all about that human connection.
