Anyone else on here give people you run into or people you deal with special little nicknames?

When I give someone a nickname (most of the time I'll never say it to their face), it's either a celebrity or something I made up myself. Either or.

Celebrities:

My downstairs neighbors, Kid Rock and Tommy Lee. No explanation needed. Grungy, nasty, filthy guys who I swear are running a brothel out of their apartment. Both dress like wannabe rockstars but in the summer parade around in their boxers outdoors.

Made up names:

The stalker neighbor is Sheriff. Kinda like Enus from the Dukes of Hazard. He always has on skin tight Wranglers, a tucked in t-shirt or flannel, and he is NEVER without a 10 gallon hat and cowboy boots. I was just gonna call him Tex until I noticed he plays "Citizen cop" and walks around with the cordless telephone in his back pocket (don't ask how it fits in there, I don't know) and calls the cops on people who are parked too close to our outlet or have been parked too long, or whatever reason he sees fit. So he's Sheriff now.

My neighbor on the end of the building is Psycho Outdoorsman. The one from the "Scary" thread. I never knew it was hunting season 24/7/365. Thankfully, he is gone most of the time. But when he comes home everyday, you can hear them throwing shit around. On the weekends, if I'm not at work, I can hear him get up around 4 or 5 am and start whipping shit around, take a shower and then throw some more stuff around, load up his truck, and leave for the day. That one day I heard him screaming at the top of his lungs multiple times at gosh even knows what.

DipShit is not really original...but it was the best I could think of. No explanation needed anymore.

I've forgotten a few, but these are the main ones.

You guys' turn!

What's wrong with just walking around in your boxers? I do that all the time. Then again, it IS a dorm.

Other than calling my roommate, Smalls, I really don't do nicknames.

I don't like seeing two very unattractive, gross guys going out to get the mail or BBQing in their boxers outdoors, thank you very much.

Question: Whats the difference between boxers and regular shorts? Answer: you dont wear shorts under boxers....

Anyhow yeah I have given nicknames to some people. Mainly though people who have become un-people to me for one reason or another. Like my ex best friend whose name shall not be mentioned and is referred to forever as captain dipshit. His name has been stricken and shall not be spoken again.

Harry Potter

One of our service clerks at work. The first time I worked with him, a little old lady told him he looked like Harry Potter, and also said he looked like Frodo, and then went into a long and enthusiastic conversation about how much she loved LotR and even bought the extended DVD's. I wanted to give her a hug! But ever since then, this particular bagger has always been Harry Potter to me. And the only semblance he has is similar eyes to Dan Radcliffe.

The Wicked Witch

A neighbor and former friend who put her estranged husband in jail TWICE now because he 'isn't providing well enough!' (to fuel her compulsive spending habits) and complains he doesn't pay up even though he is, currently in jail.

Strangler

The Wicked Witch's estranged husband. He came home one night and she refused to serve him dinner and gave him a slice of cheese instead. Nickname should be self-explanatory here. For the record, we think they're both equally fucked up.

Shitball

Kid who works grocery and never ceases to leave a huge buggy full of re-shops lying hidden somewhere in the store for the closing cashier to find after they think they've finished for the night.

Sorta off topic, but my whole family and my friends have called me by my nickname my whole life. I pefer it myself, since its a little strange.

The short story of it, I was originally going to be called Billy, but I had a cousin at the time, who was named Billy, and he throw a shitfit. "Blah googla glah DWIVER!!"

That last part was the only word they understood. So for the past 23 years, I've been called Driver.


And No, I don't know how to drive.
