Waitress Sues Coworker Over “Looking for Death” Nickname

It seems as though everybody eventually ends up with a nickname at work. Whether they’re funny, sarcastic, or just plain goofy, nicknames are generally done in good fun around the office, but sometimes you’re stuck with something you’d rather not have. Of course, I doubt many can say they’ve had a nickname as bad as “Looking for Death“.

While I do think it’s pretty bad to give somebody a mean-spirited nickname like “Looking for Death”, I don’t really think it’s sue worthy. Then again, my nicknames generally are more standard fair, like “chuckles”, “giggles”, or “guy with horrible odor and funny looking face”. Ok, so I thankfully haven’t been called that last one - at least, not that I know of.

File that under nicknames are powerful… use them wisely.
