Have you been given any nicknames by any coworkers?

I was given the nickname “The Beast”. I was overtiming on the overnight shift when I was still a corporal years ago. The captain needed a forced cell move completed and the S.O.R.T. team doesn’t work overnight. They always used the biggest and strongest officers to do them overnight. There’s five officers who go in. The first one has a shield and the other four are etched assigned a limb to subdue. I took a running start, burst into the cell, and rammed the inmate against the wall knocking him unconscious.  I was then called “The Beast” by the supervisor filming the incident. It stuck.

  • "Yes" ... the same nickname given to Kenny Stabler, Jake Roberts, Don Prudhomme and two dozen others, but for a different reason. Upper management wouldn't let me use it on my business card though.  :)

  • You laugh, but that's a true story. My business partner/associate had them made up, without my knowledge, and my Department Manager found out about them, called me into his office and told me I couldn't use them. (I didn't rat on my partner.)

    A coworker? Hmmmm.  You could call him a coworker if you'd like.  Yes.  Plenty.  Plenty is not the nickname(s).
    Coworkers at a job site? Sure.  Happy! Happy! Sweet Cheeks.

    Big Ed. And I'm not. Even my first wife called me that. I was quite average in stature. Maybe it was my ego.

    Let's not let our minds wonder.  Your stature was average then...  Have you grown in any way, shape, or form since then?

    My mid-section has expanded somewhat. And I have the Davis shrinking gene. I am two inches shorter than 20 years ago.
