Pet Peeves IV

[Jay]

One of my sons is having the same job issues. He's had a terrible year. He gets a job and finds either very toxic environments or the job and job description at interview are nowhere near each other. He's been treated terribly by some employers. One sacked him after 3 weeks for refusing to sign the 48 hr waiver saying he wasn't flexible enough for them. He left a decent job too . It's soul destroying.

YouTubers approaching people working/on the street.

A lot of them are just downright creepy. Approaching and filming drunk lassies on the street and asking questions that would get other people a good slap. Seen one where the kid was approaching people and asking "What's the weirdest thing that's happened to you in the bedroom". The guy clearly didn't want to be part of it and walked on and the YouTuber replied "Well he's clearly a virgin". No, he just doesn't want to be a part of your **** desperate videos. Get a proper job.

The "Pranks" are almost always cringingly unfunny and often downright nasty. Stephen Mulhern, ITV's answer to the question "Michael McIntyre's busy and Ant and Dec won't touch it with a bargepole, who do we turn to" has gotten into this as well. Going up to someone working at a supermarket and asking them to read out a registration plate that's blocking them in only for it to be "NE1 4ABJ" isn't funny, and could be genuinely humiliating for someone.

That's a shocking way to treat anyone.

I know it is probably scant consolation when you are in need of a job but imagine what people who treat a prospective employee in such a way would have been like to work for. It might just have been a lucky escape.

My missus said the same, it’s a bullet dodged. Unfortunately, at the moment, if they did magically appear and offer me the role I’d probably have no option but to take it.

As mentioned above in reply to me, recruitment consultants are among the worst. Chew your ear off, tell you that you’re perfect, and then disappear off the face of the earth. I even complained to one on the phone that I’ve wasted my, and the consultants time, speaking to a couple of agencies and she assured me she wasn’t like that and she prides herself on keeping in touch. Also told me my CV was fantastic and I’d have no problem getting a job and she’ll be in touch asap. That was about six weeks ago. I’ve heard nothing. And she was the one that contacted me on LinkedIn initially and asked for my number.

If it’s a no, it’s a no. Just tell me, I’m a big boy, I can handle it.

Even worse than that, when they do call you, they’re more interested in where else you have interviewed or had talks with and ask every detail of that position, and you know fine well as soon as the call is ended they’ll be straight on the phone to that company to try and muscle in. Absolute *****.

Just trying to get home from work earlier and there’s some dafty with his van decorated in tinsel and fairy lights driving at 10mph in front of me, I’ve had a ***** day if you can’t tell

Can’t watch Deal or no deal now due to Stephen Mulhern presenting the show.

He’s the only human being who’s somehow managed to look like both Ant AND Dec.

TV news reporters getting blown away standing beside a harbour in 70mph gales telling people to stay at home.

They get inundated with complaints about this every time which seems to encourage them to do it even more.

I was amazed when I read he’s what used to be called a “womaniser” - not sure the modern parlance is allowed on here.

Sitting on a Flixbus on the hard shoulder cos it has a puncture 9 miles outside Newcastle, when you should be in the pub getting a few pints down you, in all honesty it's annoying as ****, the word peeve doesn't do it justice. 🤬🤮
