I have a co-worker named Sean. He's a decent fellow, perhaps a bit cynical, jaded, bitter, argumentative, snarky, he doesn't suffer fools gladly, and he is occasionally mean, but decent.
So there's this girl at work. She works for a different company (we all rent cars at the airport...Sean and I at Hertz, that girl at Budget) so we don't talk to her much.
One day she comes over to Sean to presumably ask him something and she calls him Sean Sean.
We don't even know her name, yet she is A-OK with giving the mean bastard guy a silly nickname.
He was totally flummoxed. This officially bugs him. It officially amuses me.
My point?
There is no point. I just thought it was funny.

Why Sean is called Sean Sean started a while ago. First of all it was Sean who foolishly instigated the familiarity between him and the Budget-Girl. (Also known as Anastasia). One day, Sean, S.S. Kerri and I were talking about how he doesn't warm up to the new people in the airport.He said he won't talk to them until after a couple months or so, because they haven't earned the right to be in the clique. Well, right after he said that, we decided to go to the Gift Shop to buy some goodies and as we passed the Budget counter, he invites the girl to come along. SO by instigating the first move, in her young teenage mind, it is alright to think of a pet name for him. Hence, Sean Sean.
