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.
