Had a client on a pier inspection in Galveston who insisted on calling my Kirby Morgan helmet a 'spaceman bucket' the whole day.

That nickname would drive me up a wall honestly.

Honestly Abbychen, it's part of a bigger trend where people just rename things without asking.

Abbychen "drive you up a wall" is putting it mildly, I'd be climbing the damn thing. I had a guy on a boat once who kept calling my dive computer a "fancy wristwatch" and then asked if it told the time in dog years. Holly332 you get it, it's like people just invent new names for stuff because they're bored. I was about two seconds from telling him it also tracks how many times he's asked me a stupid question that day.
