stood at the tea bar in a layby, talking to a driver, when his mate from the same firm pulls in, heres my mate egg-on-legs, sure enough this little dumpy fella climbs out the truck, and he just looked like an egg with legs.
EEGONE.
Where s he gone now. We can never find him.
Driver at our place with a hearing aid in each ear…we call him “stereo”. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
Where I worked last, we had a driver called Noisy Nigel. He was the exact opposite of noisy and hardly ever spoke. Even when he did, it was barely more than a whisper.
Used to deliver to a site where the security guard was called Boomerang - he hated the site, and every time I left he’d say “won’t see me on here again” and then next time he’d be back. After the 4th time he was forever Boomerang - kept coming back!
Knew a fella with a club foot known as “five foot/four foot”, as his height varied depending on which leg he favoured.
I used to be called ‘■■■■■■■ prick’ by my brother. Does that count?
We had a bloke start with us and we were warned he had had a testicle removed. His nickname became. Oddbollock

I worked with a bloke known as “kneepads” he was the biggest creep I ever met.
Another one was threesh ites, cos if you’d been twice he had to do better.
Years ago when I was on removals for Curtiss & Co ( now White & Co ) the foreman porter was known as " Stanley Matthews" 'cos if there was anything heavy to move he 'd say " You get that end- I’ll take this corner"
Boxhead: His head was a cube. It really was.
Village. Was the idiot. Always stoned. Managed to write off 6 company vehicles in 2 years, and still remain a driver.
Monotooth. His teeth were such a mess it looked like he had one tooth that was 3 inches wide.
PeadoPhil. Mentioned one day that he had to pick his girlfriend up from School. We thought she was a teacher, but no, she was in sixth form. He was in his 40’s. Was also called Philth. As he always looked unwashed.
Pigeon: Once took Pigeon road kill off my exhaust and had it for his lunch. (It had been on there for 2 hours after being struck by my box and falling there.)
Years ago when most loading/unloading was hand-ball I worked with a bloke who had a reputation for dragging jobs out, he was commonly known as neversweat.
Did temping work as a teen, one bloke was called “blister”. Used to show up after the hard graft was done.
We have a “Gazbo the Asbo” and a “Slug”. And everyone else has a sort of nickname like “Vegetable Paul” or “Chris the meat”, or “Fish scales Gordon” or “Johny Eyelander one eye” or “Do That Pat” etc

Sounds like the sort of place who has a 6ft 8" 23 stone bloke called John, and everyone calls him Tiny.
