My pet hate is thus:
People that give their mates nicknames by adding a 'y' to the end of their sirname. "Oi! SMITHY! it's me, PRICEY!!"

this happens to me too
well not being called Pauly, that would be silly.

People normally call me jen, then occasionally I get called Jenny. It doesn't make them a twat...... actually I have no idea where this is going. So I shall shut up now.

I think the world has forgotten the art of a good nickname
My dad knows people called Kippers, and Flap, and Crunch, and Day, and Big Rob. Best we had at school was a guy who we called Damon because he looked like Damon Hill. Or the guy we called Jurgen, because he looked a bit Germanic. Otherwise, we usually just took the last name and added a Y if it sounded right. Or, the old classic fallback of just calling people by their first name.
