Do you have nicknames for people you don't know but see all the time?

1, Dave- The girl in tesco's who's super manly

2, Mehmet- several people at the resort we went to in Turkey were called Mehmet so in the end everyone became Mehmet. Security Mehmet, bar Mehmet, pool Mehmet and for the people that were actually called Mehmet they were Mehmet Mehmet.

Mrs Can't Be Arsed: a lady on the train who used to get off at the same stop as me. When going up the stairs at the final station, she walked up them so slowly that I thought she couldn't be arsed to walk!

Mr Shuffles: a bloke on my train who gets off at the same station as I do now. He sort of runs/shuffles past me for some reason. He's a rude bastard though as sometimes he'll barge into me when there's plenty of room on his other side. On those occasions or when I'm in a bad mood, his nickname is Mr C***face!

Mrs Pointynose. A woman i see on the bus sometimes who has, erm, a pointy nose.

This thread is going to be brilliant!!

Biffa Boy - man who I used to see every morning when I was going to work and every lunch time, and I knew if I was late by how far he had got down the hill (walking).. He was most punctual.. He was called Biffa Boy as he worked at Biffa and had a uniform on.

People on public transport are the best! There was a guy I called Germ because he was German and he'd never put his hand over his mouth when he coughed. I avoided Germ best I could

A lady that I refer to as Big Fat Sue ala Gavin and Stacey. Lost part of its humor when it transpired her name was actually Sue

.

There was a bespectacled man with a mustache around our neighbourhood so of course we imaginatively called him "Ned Flanders". Mine are quite boring actually, sorry about that!

They made me chuckle Neb!

Gale- the Irish traveller on the train who's other half used to address her as girl but it sounded like Gale. To this day If I say/do something remotely chavvy My friend will say 'alright Gale'.

tellywatcher73 · 19/01/13 - 22:51

Hopalong and his girlfriend the go go dancer. He's got one leg and she used to be an exotic dancer.

[Deleted User] · 19/01/13 - 22:54

Punxsutawney Phil or Groundhog. I did know him but could never remember his name. He looked a bit like the groundhog though.

Kangaroo man. Some guy who over summer kept parking his van outside my house while he was presumably shagging someone a few doors away. His van Had some company logo on it like Kangaroo Removals or something.

[Deleted User] · 19/01/13 - 22:58

There's snotty lady, who takes her kid dancing and there's always something that isn't good enough for her...the table is dirty, the door is locked (no you idiot it's SHUT) or its too cold. Ffs!

There's some nice ones too though, the Guitar Dudes are fun and the Nannas remind me of my Grandma!

Ollie_h19 · 19/01/13 - 22:59

Ozzy- the permanently pissed-looking woman in the flat next door.

I have a mario! The guy who works in the chip shop lol

[Deleted User] · 19/01/13 - 23:10

there are three people in our area not the most pleasant people with the same name so we distinguish them as
skank, crank and tramp but even then can still get confused on who we are talking about as they all the same

Elanor · 19/01/13 - 23:11

When my friend used to come to dancing with me (I go on my own now, so there's less chatting) we had names for all the men who we danced with regularly but whose names we didn't know. There was Little Angry Man who was quite small and intense (I don't think he was angry at all, he just looked it) and his friend, Flemish Renaissance Painter (he had a little goatee beard and used to stand with one hand behind his back and the other out to the side like... a painter? I can't remember where the name came from now... ) and Captain von Trapp who was very tall and Germanic looking and looked like he belonged in uniform (I found out later he is a traffic cop), and Snakehips (because he was wiggly) and Mr Whippy (he managed to wrestle your arms behind your back very uncomfortably...) Ah, happy days! I hardly ever see any of them now.

Mer~maid · 19/01/13 - 23:13

Haha, we do that all the time, a previous neighbour was Kevin the gerbil, because of his gerbil like cheeks. Slowboat to China, the checkout operator we avoid if possible because he takes forever to scan the groceries. Horace & Doris, those middle aged couples we always seem to meet on holiday. The plastic men from Burtons.... Two guys who used to drink in the same bar as us when me and my girlfriends were out, they totally loved themselves.

LOL ! when we pull out of the car park at the school and he is driving in front of us, we tell the children to dodge the banana skins

[Deleted User] · 19/01/13 - 23:15

Oh remembered another one - one of our local PCSO's who we've nicknamed Officer Barbrady. The man is so dumb, it amazes me he can actually get himself dressed in the mornings not to talk about doing minor police work. Plus I obviously watch far too much tv

.

sutie · 19/01/13 - 23:15

Happy Days - The most miserable woman in the world who works at our local Post Office. Looks a bit like this

all the time.

[Deleted User] · 19/01/13 - 23:16

Stoner: there's a guy who gets stoned around the corner from McDonalds; he's there pretty much every time I go.

John: a guy I see on the way to work every morning, he takes the train the same time I do

Bitchface: a rude waitress at a restaurant I normally visit.

PrincessEssex · 19/01/13 - 23:17

Fagash Lil - old lady who lives near my Mum. I have never seen her not smoking!!

gem2626 · 19/01/13 - 23:19

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh these are cracking me up

Hamsterface..the girl next door

gem2626 · 19/01/13 - 23:26

Me and my flat mate called our old next door neighbour crazy duck lady. She was obsessed with ducks. She had them all outside her door. We hid one once and then put it back a week later with sunglasses, a hat and a postcard to make it look like it'd gone on holiday. Was so funny. She never suspected us we were the sweet girls that lived next door
