I always make sure to keep standing unless I'm told that I can sit down, and that's pretty much anywhere that isn't my own place except for a restaurant/bar/whatever.

It's nothing to do with being an idiot, it's just I was raised to believe that it was good manners to not interfere with anything that isn't your own without express permission.

Sometimes I despair when I see people raiding their friends fridges or whatever without even asking, or another I've had the misfortune of personally experiencing - "I'm pretty hungry, do you have anything here I can eat?" Fuck off. You knew you'd be here for this amount of time, you should have enough common sense to remember that eating food for sustenance is just one of those things you should probably be prepared for.


Would ya finger a young wan without asking?

had something similar to that the other night (the people raiding a fridge...not the fingering a young man without permission)

Only it was my housemates friends. She hadn't told me she was inviting a group of people round for a piss up - which automatically annoyed me. Although we've seperate living rooms, just out of courtesy - if i was having a party, i'd let her know. I walked into the kitchen to find the place a mess the next day and quite a lot of my food had been consumed. She could have at least asked considering I was in the house.

Can't fucking wait to move out end of the month, I can't hack living with others it seems!

Been living on my own for years now, and despite the astronomical costs of paying everything on your own, it's worth it to me for the peace of mind. Used to hate coming back to the previous shared houses and the sink full of dishes and so on. Also, drinking my last beer in the fridge automatically means you have to go to the offie and buy more. Like using the last of the bog roll, last slice of bread, end of the ketchup etc. It means there's no more, so go and fucking get some. I don't like surprises, so finding out there's no paper in the shitter when I've just dropped a kilo of sticky black arse-clay first thing in the morning does not make for congenial co-habiting relations. Now, I just drag my arse along the landing carpet like a dog with worms.

Being told at a job interview that the place is like a comedy club. I had an interview last week and the receptionist was telling me how all the people that work there are a mad bunch. The woman interviewing me was coming out with the same shite. "Oh, the craic in here is mighty. You'll spend most of your time laughing" and drivel like that. Admittedly, you can have some fun at work but I hate people trying to make the job sound like a fucking parade.
(I didn't get the job. Cunts.)

Ah fuck, I hate that. "We're all a bit mad here, haha. There's so much laughter and fun." Saying things like, "The printers on the blink again, sure does it ever work? HAHAHAHAHAHA" is not funny. It is not a joke. Shove your misconceptions of humour up your dickhole.

It never is like that either. "Ah ya know, there's no hierarchy in here, we're just a team that gets on well and shares the work load, have a laugh." Then you find out a few weeks in that they're scheming bastids.

well to be sure, I wouldn't just ramp up to someone's place for a cuppa and waltz into their kitchen and grab a chair out etc but in an interview situation it's obvious what the set-up is since it's usually 3 chairs on one side of the desk and your petri dish on the other Very Happy It's usually 'Sit down' with an arm gesture, or 'Have a seat' with all sorts of threatening undertones...it's a chair and table ffs, no need to overstate things like...

maybe it's just me.

At one interview I had a while back one of 'the panel' or whatever you want to call them was the most nervous bastard ive ever meet. I was being interviewed and this guy (ironically from the HR dept) was mumbling, coughing, repeating words and sweating like a rapist. I was momentarily put a ease thinking 'im the interviewee and this bloke for some reason is bricking it' toguht i had the upper hand. As things went on it did freak me out, thinking what the fuck is wrong with this guy? Is it me? Never worked it out but never forgot it either. Didnt get the job in the end but was a unique experience having the other side of the table in a mess for a change.

I know plenty of people that just go into other people's houses and root through their fridge, taking shit out and making sandwiches. In some cases even when they're not in the house.

Got set up with an interview with 'msg marketing' last week as part of the dole's "steps to work" program, in other words working for free. Looked them up online first and found alot of stories from people explaining how they'd been led into a door to door sales job, some locked in cars and driven to the destinations to begin pestering homeowners Laughing

I head to the interview in shorts and a diskreet t shirt and sit there and smile through their bullshit, stating that I'll not be doing door to door sales, which resulted in some nervous chuckling from the panel. (There was a fat girl on the panel that had been given to them by the dole a year ago and is now working there, she didn't say anything and it looked like she had been crying).

Anyway, I start on Monday. One hint at door to door sales and there'll be a massacre in their office.
