    Am I completely mad?

    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?

      I don’t doubt it. I would seriously doubt the sanity of anyone who is unable to dream up some nickname for me.

        We had one guy who was really up himself.

        The whole department including management knew him as Johnny Big Potatoes!

                We have a Mr Loreal because he makes a bad job of dying his greying ginger hair. He seems to use different shades, the funniest being jet black that contrasts his fair complexion. He thinks nobody notices but I have made up a game using Mr Loreal bingo cards with various colours.

                  I am only surprised at your gentlemanly monikers.

                  I don't think I would be half as polite if I had to put names to some of the creatures I see in the elevator every morning.

                  You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                    They’re not all very nice. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to be in the same room as Mr Hygiene without a full biological warfare suit.
