Am I completely mad?

[suityou01]

When at a clientco I observe the people around me and give some of them nicknames to be used only by me and one or two ‘trusted’ individuals to amuse ourselves during the less exciting days. These nicknames always follow a similar pattern; Mr/Mrs/Miss <some sarcastic description>

Currently I see around me;
Mr Charisma
Mr Amazing
Miss Charming
Miss Madam
Mr Incredible
Mr Astonishing
Mr Hygiene

Am I completely alone in this and utterly mad or do others have such unusual habits?

Gave a nickname to a knob I used to work with "Starey eyes man"
One day referred to him by this name while he was present and everyone knew who it was, including him

Very funny moment.

No, Mr Knobjockey, I don't do this.

We have a geezer at cleintco we call Coco becuase of his propensity to wear loud shirts and braces.

I christened a dude at previous clientco "Professor Longhair" partly as homage to eponymous bluesman, and possibly my favourite was a colleague who nicknamed one of the permies "scream" after the Edvard Munch painting.

Edit - just remembered I worked with a bloke everyone used to call Dr Zoidberg - theyleft it to me to explain it to him as he'd never seen Futurama

We have a "stinky" in our office too. Everyone knows him as stinky and he does stink.

He's the IT boy.

We also have a paedo... he wears those really creepy glasses - you know, that go darker when the sunshines or it's bright but they aren't actually sunglasses <shudder>

I've worked with: Swiss Tony, Rudi Voller, head shrinker, bog roll and lend us a fiver.

But not at the same time.

Thanks to you lot, I now call all subcontinental-looking chaps Bob.

We've also got Medusa. She is south african.

And IGM - the Incredible Grinning Man - who always has a smirk on his face.

Hmm, I like the word smirk.

But i don't share them with any one

Have you had miss charming ?

We've got a sys-admin, variously named: Mr. Charisma, Mr. Charming, Mr. Happy, Mr. Bipolar.

Getting him to do anything is like cornering a rat and then poking it with a stick.
