So there's this ultra annoying girl in our office, constantly annoys me, like constantly, yea annoying me, all the time, annoying. We refer to her as piglet behind her back, I accidentally called her that......

So like an hour later my boss comes by and says, did your call pigl... I mean Steph, piglet? I guess HR is going to have a talk with me.

Anyone ever done that before?

On my last day at my previous job, I told my dept. head what a low scum sucking dirtbag of a whore she was. Does that count?

I did that before with a "friend" that was one of those less liked friends that was always hanging around the group.

His name was Matt and he was fat so everyone (and I mean everyone) called him Fat Matt behind his back.

One day I saw him and said "hey Fat Matt" or something like that and he got all bent out of shape. I just said "it's what everyone calls you behind your back anyway"

This was about 13 years ago now...

We have an affectionate term for one of the higher ups here. Suffice to say, if I ever accidentally called her that, I'd be out on my ass.

I don't call people stuff all that much behind their backs.
It's much more fun if you come up with creative nicknames and start calling people by them all the time.
We had 2 brads in our group in my last job, so I called one guy "Minibrad" and one guy "Gramps"

Neither one was very happy about it, but Gramps had just hit 40, and Minibrad is like 100 pound skinny dude, so I thought the names were good!

I think the only one who didn't really get a true nickname in the group was the guy who has a bunch of guns :)

there was a girl in my class who has a huge gap between her top front teeth. we all called her goalposts. one day, i was at a party and was drunk and she walked through the door and i said, "HEEEY!!! it's goalposts!"

she was confused at first, but then she understood the nickname and was hurt and walked away.

Is she a fatty?

Deny it, tell HR that piglet is was hitting on you and/or trying to eat your sammich.

Yeah, just tell HR you didn't like her flirting with you and she makes you feel uncomfortable. Preemptive piglet strike, now.
