my new name at work

TripleT · 2 Aug 2006 at 18:23

Heh go with it

One of my newish friends has been calling me Fletch for as long as I've known him (about a year). We've managed not to let on to him that it's a) not my name b) not even remotely close!

blimey, why? I have a few friends with the same name, I just call them by their names. Likewise, at work, there are plent of people with the same name. That's why we have surnames.

I get called darling and gorgeous at work without my permission :mad:

Why are they changing it to abdol? Seems a bit random. I don't understand :confused:

lol, we have thoughtfully called our sandwhich man "shabbaz" although sadly he doesent know it.

Jimmeh · 2 Aug 2006 at 20:58

I'm known as 'Captain' because my surname is Sparrow and my first initial is J.

Go figure

care to explain why?

When I worked at Sainsburys my mate Russell worked in Safeway - I wore his badge to work and no-one ever noticed

I was Paul at BT because he was Kelly - used to confuse people and it amused us.

I was also Dirty Bob at BT actually but that's because when one of the boys started he always forgot my name - one day when he asked me for the thousandth time I said Bob, and it stuck.

Come to think of it, I get alsorts of names where-ever I work :confused:

kell_ee001 - all makes sense now.
