what's the worst thing you have ever been called in work?

the usual is Busher... coz i'm called Emma Bosher... but i once got really upset in the first year of school coz a boy said i had frog eyes... now i think thats hilarious but at the time i was so upset! haha

at work we just rip each other all day... it's great...

 

rickys favourite thread of the year... he cant be a cheeky :censored: and get away with it

 

I got the middle finger from a sweet little old lady in a Micra once. That made my day. I still laugh about it when I think of it. All I did was toot her.

 

Well in my line of work,
I get a full line of language, usually the same words--just switched around with different accents (usually involves my mother) but they're just world strung together to get a reaction & if I do not give them the reaction they want -I WIN!
but some time when a 4 or 5yr old drops a major F-bomb it kinda makes me look twice.

 

And just for the record--GIRLS (young ladies/lasses) are the worse! total pottie mouthed!

 

We normally greet each other with the C word and I once said to my flame haired compatriot "Good morning you Ginger :censored:" he then threatened to report me to HR so I said "Ok then, good morning you :censored:" which he was ok with?

I think people get a bit of a shock when they come into our open plan office and hear quite a bit of profanity, I've been asked to do some bingo calling for an event at work with my colleague who swears more than me so that will be interesting.

We once filmed some interviews for a celebration of one of our senior leaders career as they were leaving, he was a known blasphemer and everyone had stories about him swearing in the labs. We promised to cut it all out and bleep it but we didn't. You should have seen the look on everyone's face when it went live especially as we had the scientific advisory board in attendance.

I would like to add that I don't think that it is big or clever but is a great stress reliever.

 

Being an Engineer and having spent 13 years in the forces previously as...an engineer...i'm used to the insults. C*%$ is like a friendly greeting around here.

On eof the lads has got the nickname balls up McCloud...

 

When I worked in the motor trade there was a lot of bad language. We had a swear box once and the Aftersales Director came in and asked about it. We had a sliding scale of payment dependent upon the severity of the word used, so after he had heard the scale he took a pound coin out of his pocket and threw it at me with the words; "Peter, I think you're a f****** c***" and then walked out. Mind you, the C-bomb was dropped all the time at that place - terribly potty-mouthed place. I was hardly innocent mind, when in Rome and all that.

 

I once overheard a consultant say " don't mind Deb - she's harmless" - I was really offended at the time ( late 80's) as I thought I was a power bitch!

 

I had a four year old tell me to f***
off at work

 

I had a four year old the other day said you look just like my mum, I'm sat there thinking either your mum must be Damm fugly or I've got big moobs.

I felt like flushing his head down the bog after.
