My old teacher at college was a Michael Hunt no word of a lie and he used to shorten his first name...

 

My dad was a mechanic and he worked with a Mike Hunt, needless to say the lady on reception who operated the tannoy used to shout him very carefully!

I used to work with someone called Richard Head.

 

My history teacher at school had a brother called Richard Head and he told us that he had to explain to his parents why this wasnt a great name!

Must have been a Joe Kerr that named this road.

 

Not anywhere near Grenoside, is it? lol

I have a teacher called Tim Watts, not very funny you say. Well our username policy made him TWatts, we soon changed him to TJWatts

i took a call once, and when i asked for the persons name, they said it was Mr. G. Obee..

 

I ended the call with calling him Mr Gob. Thought he was spelling it out to me.. wanst untill the follow up email I realised my faux pas.

 

That's ace!

For an open evening I once got lumbered with the job of making the ID badges for all the school staff. Nothing fancy, just the school logo, and under their names was their job role and the department they were in.

 

The next morning I had a delegation of Teaching Assistants from the Art department visit me because (and I genuinely hadn't noticed this) of the fact that their badges read "TA ARTS".....

 

...they hadn't noticed either until some bright spark parent pointed it out during the evening...!

We had the staff phone list go out a few years ago with assistant heads shortened to "ass heads"... a revised version was sent out quite quickly.

I remember once I had to assist a Headteacher sending out an attachement to someone at OFSTED with the same email address (the pre-change version)...

 

They hadn't noticed until I stated that it was an 'unfortunate' email address...

My son has a friend whose mother got married and wanted the lad to take his new stepfather's name - it wasnt that he didnt like the man, he just didnt want to be TWitt.

I used to know a businessman called James Balls who used to answer the phone by barking 'Balls' when he lifted the receiver.

That was a Radio 1 invasion. They've been popping up all over the place. Highly amusing especially when the presenter finally catches on.

 

My dad was in court when a Mr Richard Head was in trouble. After announcing where he found the defendant the judge stopped the officer speaking and had a massive rant at him over the disrespect shown, how it was indescribable how an officer could act this way, until the defendants lawyer stopped him and informed him that the defendant commonly used the shortened version of his him as shown in the file. The judge checked the file, mumbled an apology and suggested maybe his full name should be used.

 

The judge never really lived it down apparently.
