I used to work with a guy & everyone called him Keth. It took me ages to work out that his name was Keith but he was missing an eye.

 

And here's a real one.....

There's a bloke regularly goes into a boozer I used to frequent who was a nuisance to all. We all called him Nipples cos he got on everyone's tits

The financial director of a company I used to do work for was called Robin Banks. Seriously.

 

At a college I used to work at, one of the hairdressing lecturers was called Tracy Rimmer, nickname ‘Trimmer’. That worked okay ‘til she got married  :) (...but NOT to a nice Korean gentleman called Mr Wat unfortunately  :rotflmmfao:).

The boss of a firm I worked for had a pretty dreadful set of teeth. As a matter of fact when he spoke it looked like he only had one front fang.

Behind his back, he was known as Juanita.....

We've got a collegue known as CAPS LOCK. It becomes apparent why whenever he starts talking, to the point that peeps who have only heard the nickname immediately recognizes him in a crowd.

My Dad used to call me Bill, not Jamie (my real name :huh: ). 

 

Appropriate enough, he was an accountant so he probably saw me as an expense!
