Nicknames at work

[Ed p.]

Back early in the summer i was asked to perform a marriage cremony for my cousins son and his woman. So thanks to the internet and my wife i became a ordained minister ( aint the internet great). I told the guys at work what i was going to do and was instantly nicknamed the REVEREND which they got a big kick out of seeing how i am the foreman. They even have the big boss calling me that.

Spank, Spanky, Spankster, Spanks (any one of those).

Spainy is a nickname my dad got at his old work place and I use it for the internetz.

Went to the old timer's lunch today and was reminded of a couple more...

Giddy up
Attaboy

I have different ones for different places, the longest standing one is Mole. While I am at the Fire Dept, they to call me Mole, mainly because I was the shortest and the new guy and always got stuck doing the confined space rescues. Better than one guy who was in the academy before me, he abbreviated physical training as FT, and has such been FT, but it stands for something else. I'll leave you guys to guess what that one stands for in reality.

...the longest standing one is Mole.

I hates me some moles!




I'll give you a ten second head start.

 

[eldirector]

My login here is an old nickname. I was the IT Director at a small college, and the El Conquistador skit on Bob and Tom was popular at the time.

We have "Freddy" here (Real name is Adam) who wore a Freddy Kruger style sweater to work one day. We also have "Gaberialle" (real name is Gabriel), when a customer misspelled it.

Pretty boring, really....

I worked with a guy the whole department nick named all at once in one day back in the lat 70's after the first day he wore a shirt that said, "I choked Linda Lovelace" to work. He was "Choker" from that day ever after though I still remember his real name for some strange reason, Billy H.

He had some of the wildest stories I've ever seen backed up with pictures in all my working career.

Yeah well if you ever have your dog get stuck in drainage ditch tubing, or happen to fall down a well (literally had that one about two weeks ago), you might gain a new appreciate for the power of the Mole.

PS. you wont ever find me.

I've had a few nicknames at workplaces:

Energizer Bunny - Because once someone gets me going on a topic, I just keep going... and going... and going....
SirTalksAlot - Back when baby got back was popular.
Johnny Rico - The college years from the movie Starship Troopers because back when I was in shape I supposedly looked like his character, and my name is similar to his first name. Dude in the middle, pic of me from back in the day(over a decade ago)...my beautiful wife (then GF) edited out.

 

[MrsXtremeVel]

I dressed up like Tammy Faye Bakker once for Halloween. After that, I was known as " Tonya Faye."

 

[BURNSURVIVOR725]

my friends at home call me "evil", you name it I've either crashed it or gotten hurt on it

at work they called me tiny since I'm 6'7" 340.

at school they call me "radio" since I'm always going "unit 91, come in 91" on the radios all of us ra's have. I'm also called farvre every now and then because of it.

[Rescue912]

My first & last name together are (phonetically at least) 2 letters off from a feminine venereal disease. Of course, I get called that a lot...

 

[N_K_1984]

I just started a new job about 5 weeks ago and I work with a guy that people call "Poopsy" and he has coined me "Nipple-Eye." I figure it's a play on Nicholi (sp?), being that my name is Nicholas.

It seems, that a strange majority of guys I work with all have nicknames, some are pretty interesting, to say the least...

Great David Allen Coe song!

 

[Armed Eastsider]

I got the nickname Midnight Rider cuz im a truck driver and was going to make a pickup in Helmsburg Indiana. I ended up getting just a little bit lost, it was dark, and it took me forever to find somewhere to turn around. Main reason I got lost was cuz 46 was closed and didnt know it before I planned that trip.

LMAO. I was known as "effin" back in college. Something to do with my use of the universal adjective. At my last job , I was dubbed "The Crippler". After scheduling 6 Friday afternoon vacation days, which exempted you from mandatory Saturday overtime, my supervisor screamed " You're crippling me!!!!" It stuck with me for a long time.lol.

 

[Reese04]

Don't feel bad about the wierd names , an old man at my work calls me "puddin". Most of the people i work with call me that now too. Most of the people there are wierdos so it dont really bother me.

 

[SINK]

I have a coworked that randomly picks nicknames and I happened to get possum for mine and for some reason it has stuck.
