Ridiculously overblown job titles.
Discussion
My old flatmate worked for Autoglass or National Windscreens, maybe both at some point.
Anyway, his job title was Automotive Glazing Engineer.
He thought it was s
t as he got that instead of a 3% pay rise.
I was once informed that the client had decided that my job title would be changing from Control Room Supervisor to Visitor Relations, Access and Welfare Supervisor.
Utter bks, it was shot down by the Area Manager.

Had a mate who was very senior at Innocent Smoothies once upon a time. His job title was 'Top Banana' and it was on his card.
In a similar vein I knew someone at a video graphics company and he had VP Cool Stuff on his business card.omgus said:
