i hate people who give nicknames to people, and then only call them by that nickname. especially in a professional settings.

there is this guy at work who wont call me by my name - he calls me "B-Man". i get so sick of it 🙁 i try not to show it but i think he sees it and does it more because of that.

he doesnt just do it to me either. there are a couple guys, jeff and jim - they are named "J-Dog" and "J-Dog 2". (cuz jeff was first). and we have a guy named terry rex - he is of course "T-Rex".

his name is nick and i have tried to come up with a good nickname to burn him with, but i cant think of anything decent.
 
I wonder what the thought process is behind someone naming their child "Terry Rex." "OK, our last name is Rex. Terrence? Timothy? Thomas? Something with a T. 'T. Rex' just looks right for some reason. Can't put my finger on it..."
 
I do my cats.

I used to work at a place you had to earn a nickname and usually they voted em in the background without ya knowing it and weren't usually complementary, but once you had one you were family.

At least once upon a time, things changed over the years.

Upper management and idiot morons with PHD's that don't even know what a lathe is when they look at it when upper level corporate management making decisions like that screws things up even over Senior Engineers.

Seriously the efficiency effort with a PHD the last job they sent in and close it down didn't know what 50% of the equipment he didn't even know what it was it was.

Everyone... If I run out of ideas, just take the first syllable and add "eee" sound.

In fact, I call myself "shithead", "shit for brains", and other colorful names.
 
Brian, you should be in the small loan business.

"What's your name."

Shaquannatiquimamma.

But I go by Pookie.

New teller at TD bank has a "James" tag on. I call him Jim or JimBo. I don't give a rats ass if he likes it or not. The other new person is female...I'll call her the new girl until the last new girl leaves.

My kid has had a few hundred nicknames over his 13 years. Beats what my Dad called me.
 
Call him Nickel or Nick-L.. My dad gave demeaning nicknames to neighbors and my childhood friends but he was an awesome man. I normally just use an expletive followed by head to refer to most people I encounter.
