I found someone in our user database with the name “Deekshita Anusri”. I then imagined the poor soul at the border who had to read that name in front of the person named so.

I’d love to hear some stories about times something like this actually happened.

Reminds me of the people that asked for advice on location specific things, and don't want to say what country they in because it might dox them.
