Workplace Nicknames

[AC]

At my work, we all seem to label each other nicknames and im sure its the same everywhere.

So whats yours ?
How'd you get it and has it evolved over the years, or months...

I'll start

Mine started out at Milhouse, some think i have a resemblance to Milhouse from the Simpsons, i dont see it.
Went from Milhouse, to Milly, to House, The House and now Pappa House since my daughter was born just of 12weeks ago.

[Blue Ice]

Tebbsy, Tebbie, Ratbag. Just the ones i remember now.

[Bucknaked]

Dribble. Some people say i tend to do that alot. Can't see it myself. So that's the nickname I've had for about the last 15 years.

[Dazza XLT]

Shed Rat. My office was in the shed, and I was the trainee at the time, so I swept the shed floor more than a few times!
Razzle. An offshoot from Dazza and Dazzle
Boulia. Went for a holiday one to Boulia QLD. Don't know why... Not much at Boulia!

[MrFlibbles]

[mustang]

lanky i have had for about 4 yrs at skool and percy some stupid teacher who is deaf

[Woz]

I'd get banned if I used the words people call me at work...

Since Friday, 'Knuckles' has been added to the list from one of the blokes. It was 'Fat Lip' for the first half of Friday, but he then changed it to 'Knuckle Sandwhich' and now just 'Knuckles'.

Other than that it's Woz or several others that are much more sinister.

[DDXR6T]

"Danny-boy" Or "Dan the man"

I dont mind either really ...

[crannersEL]

"Cran-Dogg" i get called by my boss and fellow work mates.

[FGX-351]

[nick81xd]

"pin head" or "pinny" cause of spiky hair

I was about to type that myself. I get all sorts of comments ranging from my weight, my huge beautiful 'soft' goatie, my tattoo's, my attitude?, my overbearingness, my dominance and my high standard in workplace ethics. But to be honest can't blame them i'm really not a nice person.
OK my family name is Doll : so well all get "Dolly". Yeah HAHA laugh it up : 5 years back an old leading hand who has since left the mill nicknamed me "ZOLL". I never liked it until a murdered friend of mine, who caught onto the nickname when i invited him to a work social club free -up. We were drinking with one of the maintenence workers who called me ZOLL all night so he joined in as well, cheeky bugger.
I know always introduce myself as ZOLL..!!..
