Funny work titles

    I watched a documentary on Coca Cola the other day and the guy who put the tops of the cans into the machine was called the "Technical Operator of Tinworks" or something.

    A girl on facebook updated her work to "Fashion and beauty consultant". She sells jumpers and tops in a clothes shop.

    Anyone else got some funny bloated titles that make the job sound much more important than it is?

    I remember watching Blind Date as a kid, and a female contestant who worked on the till at the perfume counter in a department store described herself as a "fragrance technician."

    I asked the neighbours daughter what she was going to do after her Leaving Cert last year.

    "Cosmetology" she proudly proclaimed.

    Now there is a fancy sounding name for Make-up.

    My dad is a Bodybuilder.

    He's the guy that puts the bodies of buses together, ie. all the bits the mechanics don't do, he does(seats, floors, paintwork, etc.). Think it's changed now to coachbuilder/general operative, but I still think it's funny to say he's a bodybuilder, because he looks anything but.

    Unfortunately, not. This is the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
    http://www.barbercosmo.ca.gov/.
    A cosmetology license is required (with test) before working as a beautician around these parts.

    I'm rather proud of my job title. "Tank God". Seriously. (Army tanks, before people get smart)

    You're a military man, hope you don't mind the question :)
    It is on topic for a work thread
