Branded a Pube for life
Our HR department used to have a guy who'll I'll refer to as D.M. (as they were his initials), who was quite a useless piece of crap when it came to his job. He was always running approximately a month behind on any issues, and looked like he worked in a job centre.

Me and my manager had a quick chat about him once, and decided to nickname DM with the word "Pube", as he was as useful as one. So whenever we were talking about HR, the name Pube would come up in conversation, and we'd laff about him at his expense.

So a few weeks later, me manager goes into a general meeting with the rest of the management team, and they mention that DM has handed in his notice. The head of our department (and the boss of the bosses) shouts out;

"What, pubes gone? Why's that?"

Oh dear. Guess we shouldn't have called him that :)
