Over the years I've handed out a few nick names.  There are great stories behind these names which i will spare you - but here are a few of the good ones.

1. PetCock

2. Puss-n-Boots

3. Snowman

4. Little Flower

Anyhoo, I want to see what everyone else has handed out for nick names over the years too - or if you're been given one...

The frist day I got to meet the V.P. I had to call in that I had clip the bumper of the job supers pickup while trying to get off the job site, when I got back to the yard, he came out and said "well Crash lets see the damage to the pump" everyone heard it and it stuck for a few months until the next guy screwed up.

We had a mixer driver we called WaterBalls! On his first job out by himself I convinced him(with the inspectors help) that the washout balls were actually sponges we used to take out water in a too wet load,and that no new driver should be without his! He went back to the plant and asked the dispatcher for a couple of "waterballs"! He was gonna kick my ass when he brought his next load!! But he actually had a sense of humor,and took the nickname rather gracefully.Although he never trusted ANYTHING I said to him afterwards
