Pokimane shocked after store worker fumbles her last name in the worst way Twitch: pokimaneTwitch star Pokimane shared a hilarious story with her viewers about the time a store clerk fumbled her last name in the worst way possible, making for an awkward interaction. Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is one of the most-followed streamers on Twitch, on top of being the site\u2019s most-followed female broadcaster, overall. As such, she\u2019s had quite a few eventful interactions with fans \u2014 some of which ended in awkward moments, like the time a viewer asked her out at TwitchCon 2019. However, one of the most awkward moments in her career as a top-tier streamer didn\u2019t happen at a convention or in a video game voice chat with a random teammate. Instead, it took place in a store when she was checking out at the front counter. To preface, it\u2019s important to know how Pokimane\u2019s name is pronounced. Her first name, Imane, is pronounced like the end of the word \u2018Pokemon,\u2019 hence her Twitch handle. Her last name, Anys, is pronounced like \u2018Ah-Nis\u2019 \u2014 but a sales associate at the store she was shopping in had a totally different idea of how it sounded. Pokimane mortified after store clerk pronounces her name horribly wrong According to Pokimane, the clerk asked for her last name in order to complete her purchase. After spelling it out for him, the clerk apparently looked at her with a deadpan expression and said something totally out of left field. \u201cHe looks me dead in the eye and he goes, \u2018Anus,’\u201d the streamer said. \u201cAnd when I tell you my jaw dropped. I was in shock. It was like he didn\u2019t even try to pronounce it properly or decently whatsoever.\u201d \u201cAlso, he had the most blank look on his face. \u2018Anus.\u2019 Like, he was telling me that that\u2019s my last name. \u2026I can\u2019t even! Also, because it\u2019s a private part of your body. You never hear that word out loud. I don\u2019t think it was a joke. I really don\u2019t!\u201d \u201cI turned to him [and went], \u2018Ha ha, Anys.\u2019 He\u2019s not laughing. He just looks down and types.\u201d While this might be one of the most awkward moments the streamer has experienced thus far, she was able to take the situation in stride \u2014 although she\u2019s not totally convinced she wasn\u2019t being pranked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
