Do you ever call somebody by their Last name?

[Faze Five 61]

Yes, it's an usual thing here. In my case, nobody calls me by my first name, because it's really common.

Btw being spanish so you can have more than 8 surnames

[K.Rool Addict 718]

Only this guy:

^Best character on a sitcom EVAR! xD

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,413]

I have a buddy that everyone just refers to by his last name. I sometimes call him Totodile too because that's what he sounds like.

[Dreambiscuit 8,343]

I call myself by my own last name quite a lot when I'm muttering to myself. I also have on friend I sometimes call by her last name, just for fun. I'm not sure why.

[Messy Mane 9,014]

nope,only the teachers in my school call me by my last name,because they cannot pronounce my first name right so they call me "Garcia" a lot *facepalm*

it's not even hard to pronounce O-C-L!!!!!

[Lucky Bolt 35,013]

Nah, I don't ever do it on a daily basis, I just find it easier to call people by their first name. 

[Floofie 799]

Nope. I don't see why I should ever call someone by their last name, except when I need to refer to them as Mister or Miss.

[Guest]

Yes. It's pretty common in my country.

[Stardust* 3,302]

I used to do it on a daily basis while I was in the military, but now that I've been out not so much. Only if someone asks me to. Or if I am using Mr. Mrs. before hand. 

[BlueStreak98 828]

I had two friends who were roommates who were both named Nick. We called them by their last names in order to tell them apart.

On the flip side of feeling bad about accidentally calling someone by their last name,

Of course, not always applicable, but still.

Used to happen a lot at school, not much since then. It was kinda stupid the more I think about it, because a lot of people had the same surnames, so it defeated any purpose it could have.

[cmarston1 5,954]

Not really, I have never really had anyone other than teachers that I would refer to them by their last name.

[Yumekai 735]

Nope, only teachers because that's how they want it

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

mostly teachers that i knew from school :3

[碇 シンジン 27,427]

Not really usually i dont really call people by their names that much at all but if the person is kinda close to me i prefer use the names more =) 

[Cash Ins Toaster 21,672]

Not really. I refer to others by their first name and I have no reasons to do otherwise.

[King of Canterlot 9,589]

No I don't. I know a lot of my mom's friends and even teachers in school call us by our last names, but I don't personally call anybody by their last name.

[Nightfall Thunder 1,937]

I personally don't, put pretty much everyone I knew from school called me by my last name for some reason.

[Vintjack Greasymane 3,459]

Of course I do. Among my group, there are people who are called nicknames made with their last names by everybody.

Oh, and coincidentally I found out the first name of a friend of mine only yesterday!

[Jedishy 3,542]

Having been in the military yea I do it all the time with the people I served with. 

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

All human being are equal, so it's more like. "Hey, jerk!" Some guy turns, "Who, me?" "No, the other one!"

For real, though. I don't like objectifying things in order to understand them. The resultant understanding is partial and ignorant of its whole. Which often leads to added qualities that are often projections of oneself onto others.

Kinda like my name. Some people say I'm loyal, because that's what they need to see in me, an added identity I've been given so they can understand themselves. Such is the nature of names, which can result in conditional factors.

My understanding of reality is wider than rationality, and so is my interaction with it.

[Snow 5,305]

In school my year alone had something like 11 kids whose names were Lachaln, to avoid confusion everyone including the teachers would just use their last names.

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Calling others with their last name can sometimes be considered offensive. Like in my school. Some of my friends like to mock/taunt others with their last name because some of their last name are their parent's name.

 good ol' days

As for me, no, I don't do that often.

Usually with acquaintances that tell me their full names. Or rookie's new on the job that I have to show around.
