Having a really uncommon surname is wild because you'll be just chilling listening to Tom Scott introduce a lateral thinking question and then n.early fuckin fall over when the submitter has the same name as you

#like there is One other family in the UK with our surname #and we're still not entirely sure they're not my grandads cousins #the US presumably has more but i know of one public figure in all of existence who has my surname #so just having it casually pop up in a podcast like Hello There Are In Fact More Of Us! is fuckin wild #oh to have an occupational/residential surname that crops up everywhere and thus to not get jumpscared by my own name #technically ours Might be residential as there's a teeny tiny village somewhere called that #but genealogy evidence suggests it's a bastardised old irish name that was vaguely understood as ''oh like that tiny village''#and they stuck with it
