The employment catch-22 is why I A: Haven't found work since graduating high school in '08 and B: Haven't been able to move out on my own despite wanting to since same. Nobody is hiring in the first place, but when I do, they always want several years of experience. HOW IN THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GET IT IF YOU WON'T HIRE ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?! Fuck's sake people, take a chance once in a while. Driving one of the silly NAPA trucks is not exactly rocket science, you don't need someone with ten years experience to do it. Just a clean driving record and a working smartphone. I've all but given up looking for work for the time being because of this. I'm just wasting gasoline driving around town trying to find someone who is hiring just to find out they all require experience I just cannot get because they all require experience. Oh, and before you spout off with some "Well McDonalds doesn't require experience", keep in mind that at minimum wage I'll barely make anything at all... A job at McDonalds would only pay $7.25/hour, with miserable hours, terrible work environment, and little-to-no prospect for advancement, and all that just to barely break even. I wouldn't even make enough to contribute to the bills around the house or pay my own auto insurance. A related pet peeve: If someone takes the time out to fill and submit an application GET OFF YOUR FAT LAZY ARSE AND CALL/MAIL/EMAIL THEM TELLING THEM YOU DON'T NEED THEM! It's frustrating enough when you can't find work, but when the spineless fucks don't even have the balls to tell you they don't have a position for you it's just insulting. I will commend cars.com on this though, I sent in an app and they took time out to send me a rejection letter. Fair enough, you didn't have a place for me, but at least you had the balls to tell me this instead of leaving me hanging for months. Sure, it was a canned letter that was sent out alongside thousands of other letters for varying reasons and destinations, but at least they sent it. That's all I ask. This is something I would do for every application I get if I were a manager or HR officer. I don't care how long it takes to respond to every app. | |
No worries man. | |
Is that fad still around? I thought they'd all moved on to the misogynist threads and hating on EA. | |
People who don't signal in traffic. | |
if you don't cause a fuss then nothing gets accomplished anyway, I'd say people nerd raging over stuff with LITTLE information is one of my biggest internet pet peeves for example for fuck sake it was ONE trailer, I doubt you'll stick to your guns if you find out that *shock horror* the trailer didn't completly show the end product | |
I don't know man, they stagger around here and there, but yeah, it's pretty much over. OH and speaking of which, I never said what pisses me off. Mothers. Not my mom, I don't have mommy issues, and I know plenty of moms that are cool in my book. I mean mothers. The ones where they know beyond any doubt that because they managed to squeeze a baby out of their tearing, screaming vaginas, they are simply a better and more enlightened person than you. These goddamn mothers are goddamn everywhere and what's worse, they are sickeningly convicted in their fucking stupidity. Goddamnit. | |
what? so Mass Effect fans are mysoganist now? | |
Yeah, but shit got out of hand for a problem which simply wasn't that big in the wake of, say, SOPA or EA's constant OTHER attempts to fuck over everyone in their wake. One crappy ending for one of their better games was nothing in comparison to what little respect they have for everything in their path and every single person running that company should be fucking ashamed of themselves. | |
I said they moved on to the misogynist threads, not that they were misogynist. You have noticed the several threads discussing the issue of sexism lately, yeah? | |
Okay, the post directed at me and then this. Something tells me you were one of these people, eh? Admit that this outrage went over-board and was a little too dorky to NOT get ostracized and laughed at, and we'll call this one even and share in a little Escapist bro-fist. | |
No, no. Clearly an ending they disliked is grounds for a thousand threads full of blind, pointless rage, all of which the team members at EA that made the ending will never see. | |
You have opened my eyes, good sir. | |
just because one problem is arguably bigger (EA's practices) doesnt cancel out another problem (ME3's ending) fact is yeah, some peopel were insane, but that over the top reaction got somthing if they had said nothing then they would have annoyed alot less people, but that series would have remained one great big slap in the face, nothing would have been gained quite frankly other people gettign annoyed at me on the internet isnt exactlaly my concern if it means what somthing can be done about ME3
by that your impling that discussing mysogny is somhow trivial? or that having the audacity to complaina bout ME3's ending makes you a kind of person who complains for the sake of it? | |
The new chef that was hired is making me a bit angry. She is a nice woman and I like her but I don't like the changes she is making. She is making it so that only two dishwashers will work the dinner shift instead of three. That is going to slow us down and we also have to mop and sweep the entire kitchen now instead of just the section we worked in. Now we also have to rely on the waitstaff to bus their own dishes. Whenever that happens they always complain about how busy they are and will just the stuff there. No release date for the Game of Thrones season 2 Blu-Ray/DVD boxset. I hope it comes out earlier than March of next year. | |
Speaking as a pedestrian, this. I also fucking hate people who signal as they're turning. | |
Idiot drivers. I like my car, dammit. And I don't feel like checking into the hospital any time soon either. Use your turn signals, stop swerving into lanes, and get off of your phones. Seriously. I'm all for natural selection, but not when it involves the idiots being in control of 2000+ pounds of metal going at 60+ miles per hour. | |
What? You've completely lost me and seemed to have missed the point by more than a few leaps and bounds. I was implying the vast horde of Mass Effect wagon hoppers are simply in it for the hipster qualities, the kind of people who jump on any hot issue and spout hyperbole like their lives depend on it. | |
Fuck, dude. You really need to calm your titties. Go to your corner. Take a time out. Maybe take a walk. Talk to some of your less nerdy, complain-y friends. Enjoy the sunset. Stop being an internet tough guy for one second and take a quick nap. Your titties are embarrassingly flustered with rage, and your titties need to calm down. | |
erm..then I didn't miss the point because that's what I kind of thourght you ment (not just in regards to mysogny in particular) and in response to that *sigh* no....thats not the reason at all, the fact is Mass Effect has a....."passionate" fan base..and even that aside the ending was just... I could explain but I don't think you really care to hear it for the millionth time my point is...you don't have to agree with anyone over ME3's ending, but I wish people wouldnt make up bullshit as to why people acted like they did
so what if the ME3 controversy annoyed you? stop reading the threads. Maybe take a walk. Talk to some of your friends who like other games. Enjoy the sunset. Stop complaining about people complaining for one second and take a quick nap. Your titties are embarrassingly flustered with rage, and your titties need to calm now no...I don't, because I'm not angry (or an internet tough guy) I'm just trying to explain my reasoning surrounding the Mass Effect fiasco you seem to be interpereting me as "angry" and you seem to be brushing me off with silly snide jokes.Which is kind of saying to me you've kind of pegged anyone who has a say on the matter as "entitled whiney nerd rage"
one of those people? well I don't know I was a little late to the party, by when I finished...yeah, I felt like Id been slapped in the face, I had my say but I didn't join any "retake mass effect" movement now did it get out of hand? hmmm....mabye, but when you really think about it whats the worst that happned? annoying threads? pretty much it but I think it had a good side..I think it shows "hey! we don't want shitty endings! put some effort into what you finish!" Bioware had already lost alot of faith amongst fans after DA2...did that matter in the grand scheme of things? mabye, mabye not. however the shit storm over ME3 was kind of a kick in the ass that prompted them to at least throw us a bone I don't expect much, but SOMTHING happened, so yeah.....I think it was worth it now I don't want to derail this thread and make it about ME3...but I would at least say that DO NOT for a second think that people complaing was due to really retarded reasons insignificant in the grand scheme of things? yes...retarded? NO | |
I can name a few so this is one of them- I can't stand some hardcore comicbook fan who nitpick a well good comicbook film in favour that it wasn't accurate to the source material. Get it through you head people! There are things that can never be translate well onto the big screen and while they should be faithful to the source material most of the time (e.g. Deadpool in Wolverine Origin was aweful) but bear in mind people who aren't into comicbooks will see the movie too! I mean afterall they are far more of them it is to comicbook fans when you go to the full packed seat in the cinema screening it. | |
I understand that my mom and, sisters can't speak using an in-door voice but for fuck's sake, stop shouting to each other in front of my bedroom door while I'm trying to sleep. Also people I work with; stop blocking isles and, corridors with shopping trolleys. Seriously, every night I go in major areas of the store get blocked by palettes, carts and, trash cages. Then they look at me like an asshole when I move them away from the center of the isle...Freaking stupid children (they might as well be anyway) | |
Wet cuffs. There is nothing more irritating | |
In the world of television, I'm going to say a laugh track. Nothing annoys me more than a show trying to make me laugh just because I can hear other people laughing. In earlier years it may have been a way to create immersion to make it feel like people are actually at the location but for me it simply doesn't work. If a show makes me laugh without a laugh track its good but I don't think a show has ever made me laugh just because I can hear some canned laughter.... Big Bang Theory I'm looking at you! In reality I think its scary obsessions. People on twitter will probably know what I mean when they look at what's trending and see some garbage like '1Directioners for life' '1D is eternal'. It gets to a point where being a fan of something begins to take over your life and you start looking like a bit of a freak. I'm all for people liking things but if it starts to take over your regular life to the extent where your Twitter identity has to be a fanclub for this thing then that's where it gets too much. | |
Idiots who seem to be deathly afraid of going at reasonable road-speeds (I'm talking about idiots who go 65km/h in towns where it's only legal to go 50km/h, but on the other hand they seem to get stuck at 75km/h on country-roads where it's legal to go 80km/h). | |
The current job market. In the last two months I have applied for seven jobs, got one interview and zero jobs. Admittedly I already have a job but I really hate it and have made it my goal this to get a new but I'm just getting screwed by the lack of opportunities.
I know, those Catholic priests can cause a lot of bother :P EDIT It also pisses me off when I don't notice spelling mistakes until I've clicked post. | |
Ignorant people ...And that's just a few things I dislike...! | |
The assholes who blare the stereos in their vehicles. If I wanted to listen to your crappy music I would do so on my own free time in a way that wont be heard a block away nor felt five blocks away. Fucking retards, I hope you all go completely deaf. | |
People raising their hands in school and then say "I have a question". The biggest one is the bicycle one, because if you yell back they're most likely to get out of their car and kick your ass. | |
I agree, I was T-boned on Christmas Eve last year when pulling into my driveway. The idiot behind me had his windshield half-way covered in snow. He could have just turned on the wipers and cleared it, but no he didn't. My house was on the opposite side of the road, and I had my left turn signal on, and to make sure I would be able to fully pull into my driveway I did a slight move to the right so I could pull in. I also made sure I had enough time and space between me and him so I could pull in. The idiot behind me saw me move slightly to the right, and sped up (speed limit was 50 mph) and went in the other lane, so he could pass me. He hit the driver's side from just behind where my seat was, hit the car with so much force, he caused the rear driver's side wheel to be at a sixty degree angle. Also what pisses me off are people who will play the most annoying music at full volume. There are other people in the room who may not like that music. Also people who gang up on someone because that person asked nicely for those people to turn down the volume. Also people who try to get someone in trouble by making false accusations. | |
Seth MacFarlane. Not any of his works, just the man, specifically. Every word that comes out his mouth makes me want to punch everyone in the immediate area. Also, cans that don't have a ring pull tab on them, and require you to use a can opener. There is no decent reason why I should need a can opener in this day and age, when we have simple can opening solutions! You hear me, non-ring-pull-tab-can manufacturers!? I'm coming for you, you cheap, penny pinching fucks. | |
THIS. Entirely this. God I hate it. It takes about 30 seconds to shoot off an email saying "Dear Name, Thank you for taking the time to send an application but we're going forward with a more promising employee." Sitting there wondering if they're going to get back to you just drives me nuts and hits a black mark against them. Aside from that, people who huddle near the front of the bus, there's a whole fucking back of it you know? Try moving back there so I don't have to dance my way past your ass. People who want to preach to you about anything. No, I don't care about that rare nut-frog whose in danger, no I don't want to hear your philosophy about why religion is good and no, I don't care about whatever damn political BS you're trying to push. Stop ringing my door bell or trying to flag me down in the streets, I don't give a shit. Drunk people too, they always seem to pop up around me. Go away, go be drunk somewhere else that isn't near me, I don't want to deal with you. People who will see a post that says "Most" or "All" and their instant response is "I DON'T!" Well, congrad-u-fucking-lations but that doesn't matter in the slightest now does it? No, you're not some hyper intellectual because you point out a grammatical failure, stick on topic and stop trying to tout yourself. Mother fuckers with their bass up. I don't want to hear my shit rattling because you've pumped more money into your damn stereo than your ENTIRE car is worth. Constantly hearing *BOOM**BOOM**BOOM* as your driving doesn't make you a bad-ass it makes you a fucking idiot. | |
Umemployment and the governments constant exploitation of the umemployed. (People being forced to work around 40 hours for 55quid a week. Thats like one pound something an hour) People taking the piss out of disabled people both physical and mental related illness. Doing massive work out sessions and not achieveing results. Missing a day of working out due to illness. EVERY DAY DAMN IT! MUST DO IT EVERY DAY! *twitch* The people in my towns inability to actually drive properly (they drive like morons) and also there inability to get off there fat arses and actually walk somewhere. I don't drive myself can't trust other drivers not to drive like ponces. Rather spent 3 hours of my day getting into work and then back much safer until you need to cross a road then its like froger....well when i actually had a job to walk to and back from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifTIuA8Dq58 This sums up the roads through my eyes pretty nicely while dodgy music plays. My countries inablity to grow a spine and rise up against being riped off constantly by supermarkets, water companies and government. Yeah i know its just as bad and/or worse around another european countries but they aint scared to get there hands dirty in order to protect there rights and let there overlords know that there doing a shite job. Kudos to them guys and girls for sticking up for themselves. People who tell me everything is alright or going to be alright by just sticking my head in the sand and pretending its not happening. A complaint TestEcull beat me too. You spent all that time and effort doing an application form to a company. They should HAVE to then spend the time to actually contact you back. Damn lazy toerags all because they don't want to injure there thumbs from pen pushing sitting on there arse all day. People invading mine and others personal space, happens all the time when i have to endure the supermarkets (My old mans ill and mom has arthritus in both her knees so a strong back is needed). Stand still for 1 second and you got 5+ people sniffing around you..back the hell off. People who cold call my house trying to sell me crap always the same times of the day too. I enjoy telling them to F*** off though. oddly enough thats just a tiny select few which enrage me....im a very angry person :( Captcha: Hunky-Dory.....not bloody likely. | |
Try volunteering for non profits, your church, your local school or anything. Once you get some experience, then apply at Dominos. Better yet, apply anyway. They might surprise you and say yes, we will give you a shot. Complaining is easy. Acting is hard. Make your own opportunities for growth instead of lamenting life. | |

Call it half-sarcasm. It's nice to have a place to vent, but the Retake Mass Effect 3 people are still embarrassing to have around.
