The boss's assistant keeps saying "SanFran..."
...and it's driving me nuts! Imagine that she's also doing it with a nasally, Boston accent and it's enough to make me want to throttle her.
Just so you don't think I'm totally crazy, she's also just really loud and inappropriate on the phone in general and I can hear her even if I close my office door so my aggravation has been accumulating over time 
I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball
Re: The boss's assistant keeps saying "SanFran..."
Ew. Super annoying.
I also can't stand it when people call our state "Cali" but seeing as I've heard some Californians do that, I guess it's not as bad. Nobody here says San Fran, though!

Ew,
I also ditto the "Cali" thing. Yuck.
look at the bright side .. she's not calling it "frisco" *shudder*
even my midwestern siblings know to call San Francisco either SF or 'the City' or even better 'home'
people calling it "frisco" makes me stabby!
totally prefer them calling it 'san fran'
there's a 'burb north of dallas called Frisco, which I was talking about to a friend of mine who had moved up there (she was visiting me and we were walking in the city) and some random woman turned around and said: "you're in SAN FRANCISCO, not frisco." And I said: "we're talking about Frisco, Tx nosy!"
I had no idea it would hit a nerve.
sanfran grates on my ears like panties. shudder.
I type cali rather than ca because "ca" look like a typo to me.
I have learned to do Calif to shorten CA on my other board because CA also means Canada.

This story made me laugh
I never said/implied that she was stupid for not knowing better (nor did anyone else, I think). It just annoys me and I was venting about it, just like we all vent about any number of things on the board.
That doesn't bug me, for some reason. Then again, I hardly ever hear anyone refer to it that way. Do New Yorkers get annoyed by "the Big Apple?"
folks i know in boston get all irritated when instead of typing out Boston, i do Bahston
having grown up in all sorts of places, SF-St.L- Detroit (it's not DEEtroit folks, it's Detroit !) and Philadelphia .. i've seen it all and heard it all.
Yep, that's pretty annoying too
I was born and raised in Boston and can gladly say that I don't have a trace of the Boston accent.
