'Ted got himself fired': Guy leaves coworker stranded in the rain ignores all his emails


When it comes to names, this man is not playing around.  Nicknames come naturally to some people, especially if you have a formal name that's common to shorten, like how many Williams go by Billy. Other people gain nicknames that match their career, hobbies, or personality instead.  The man in this story from r/AmItheA**hole actually really hates the nickname he's been given by his coworker, and he finally snapped one day. The workplace tale, told by u/notmyd***name, highlights the importance of mutual respect in a work environment.  In the comments, people debated if the OP went too far with his plan, or if he was justified. One person said it was an ESH situation, which I tend to agree with, too. If the OP had brought it up to HR or insisted to their boss that the issue needed to be resolved, then Ted might not have lost his temper. But Ted also acted really unprofessionally — he wouldn't be the first person to lose their job over writing or saying inappropriate things to a coworker.  Up next, click here to read about this waiter, who had a hilarious idea to stop a bunch of diners from dashing off without paying.
