Waitress sues over nickname

A Taiwanese waitress has sued a workmate for giving her the nickname 'Looking for Death'.

"I felt I was being insulted all the time in public," the woman, named Xu, told a court in Taipei City.

Huang, a cashier at the fast food restaurant where they both worked, admitted coming up with the nickname.

But he said it was intended in fun and he had never intended to cause Xu any upset.

The judge told the court he had tried to put himself in the woman's position by looking himself in the mirror and calling himself 'Looking for Death'.

He decided he felt insulted and ordered Huang, to pay £300 to compensate Xu for her trauma, Taiwan Network reports.

for the first 7 years of my life I was called Lotta
then we moved to australia and they pronounce it "Lodda" which I hated, so I asked to be called Charlotte
which was shortened to Char, Charlie, Charz etc.

I was effectionately known as ''Tacheman' when playing football for Sheffield United Junior Blades. This was on the fact that I was the first member of the team to show first signs of upper lip puberty.
