I told a friend of mine to change his last name... His life drastically changed.

My friend was having problems at work, couldn't get loans, single... Couldn't really get ahead. One night at a bar I jokingly said, "it's your last name man... change it."

Fast forward five years... "hey sol I'm not sure if you were joking or being serious but I actually did legally change my last name, it was my step fathers last name. Anyways you were fucking right-"

So can't get that home loan? Can't seem to catch a break on a apr? Is that representative always busy? Having trouble being promoted? Did you not get into that Ivy League? Did you loose that competition? Well guess what it could be your last name/surename. If you don't believe me check this article:
