Working for a small computer store
we were invited to attend the ECTS trade show in London one year. We had all of our own passes created, and the management decided it would be best to pretend that they were the lackies and have us underlings as the management. It was initially a laugh, but it did kind of create some funny side-effects.

We received our personalised badges with different titles listed on the front. I kind of got away with it lightly with "Assistant Manager" being printed on it. Some of the thicker lackies had some much more amusing titles, ranging from "Retail Box Consultant" (meaning he cut the cardboard boxes up after a delivery) to the YTS boy having "Managing Chief Purchaser for the SW Regions" on his. That was comical as walking around a trade show he was pounced on by everyone with a product, and he had the intellect of a broken toaster. Somehow we managed to get another printed off with "Microsoft Managing Director" and give that to a guy on work experience. Even though he was about 15 years old people still approached him. Vultures the fucking lot of them.

Funnily enough the Managing Chief Purchaser is a manager in PC World, and I wouldn't trust him with a walnut let alone a £1000 PC.
