When Jonas met his old friends for dinner, they called him by a nickname from school. He had never liked it, but he used to laugh along. Now they were meeting his partner for the first time, and he wanted them to use Jonas.
Before dinner, he sent a message to the group. He wrote that the old nickname made him uncomfortable and asked them not to use it anymore. Most friends replied quickly. One said it was only a joke, but Jonas repeated his request calmly.
At the restaurant, a friend began to say the nickname, stopped, and corrected himself. Jonas thanked him and introduced his partner. They talked about school memories without using the name. There were still plenty of funny stories that everyone could enjoy.
After dinner, the friend who had called it a joke walked with Jonas to the corner. He apologized for his message. Jonas accepted the apology, and they made plans to meet again. On the next invitation, his friend wrote 'Jonas' in large, careful letters.
