Nicknames

[potthole]

Back at my high school job I gave a guy the nickname Pistol Pete. He mentioned to me once that he didn't like it, but I thought he was kidding, so I kept calling him that. I wasn't working the day he quit, but apparently as he stormed off, he made some mention about how he couldn't stand the nickname (by this point other people in my department were using it too).

Fast forward a year or two. I sit down with my family at a restaurant, and guess who our waiter is? Things got akward real fast.
