Sorry to hear that SWEA. Must be so frustrating.SWEnglandAddick said:Trying to get a new job, it's so frustrating. I've had interviews that have gone really well but I still didn't get the job. I've applied for jobs that my skills are absolutely perfect for, the recruiter thinks I'm perfect for it too, the company even thought I was perfect for it but now they've decided to recruit in-house. I'm going crazy with the amount of circles I'm going in.

Take comfort from the fact that they aren't telling you that you're hopelessly unsuitable. The recruiter wouldn't spend time on you if he thought you were unplaceable, and it's frustrating when an in house candidate gets it, but most likely he was always going to, they just had to do some 'benchmarking' and waste your time so HR could tick their boxes. (If I find out there's an in house candidate, I nearly always withdraw. I'm not spending time and money in a futile bid to work for those twats.) You're better off out of that one! And something WILL turn up, often from a surprising direction.SWEnglandAddick said:Trying to get a new job, it's so frustrating.

Currently in digital marketing for a tiny company so I'm looking for a step up (and more money), there's no progression at my current company so I'm getting itchy feet. No rush thoughcafcdave123 said:

Why do I find myself behind so many people directly walking in front of me that always stop.3

Really chatty supermarket checkout workers. I know this sounds grumpy but I just wanna pack up my stuff and go not discuss plans for the weekend etc.6

I always tell them I'm going up the park to watch the kiddies on the swings. That usually kills the chat.17

Asking if you want "something for the weekend" is sales patter, trust me if you want some they know what you'll be doing.Talal said:Really chatty supermarket checkout workers. I know this sounds grumpy but I just wanna pack up my stuff and go not discuss plans for the weekend etc.

To be fair it's better than some of the people I've seen. Asda in particular seem to employ absolute vegetables. Had one guy the other day who had his fingers in his mouth the whole time whilst he was scanning my food (pretty disgusting) and couldn't string 2 words together. It's either that or it takes them 40 seconds to scan an item.Talal said:Really chatty supermarket checkout workers.

WH Smith's and others that make their checkout staff ask if you want a huge slab of chocolate at some discounted price when you've just gone in to buy a paper.5

People who mark emails as 'high importance', so that little red exclamation mark appears next to it.
Who the hell do they think they are!
I leave those emails until last.7 -
Possibly received my first ever "low importance" email yesterday. Made me read it sooner because I was curious about what it could be.Ben18 said:People who mark emails as 'high importance', so that little red exclamation mark appears next to it.

Cold callers who start by asking me how I am today.2

Are you making a play for the job? We all know your views on the rest of us train fodder. ;-)cantersaddick said:

Why do all car adverts have a silly funky tune to them. Can someone in advertising answer this for me.
They're either silly funky tunes, some sort of 'own the road' smug macho type where they get some tosser looking like their car gives them supreme power or they're artistically positioned to make you think driving a car is an act of theatre.
Why don't they just do an advert where you're stuck in traffic or frustrated on a motorway by other drivers0 -

Trying to buy something on Amazon and getting a message 'this is an add on item'. So now I've got to upgrade, buy something else that I don't particularly want or wait until I make an order of over £20. Bloody cheek.1

I know we have had the subject of women in supermarkets before, but I had an experience today that made we want to kick the stupid cow in the arse and scream:
Joined the queue at the tills in the supermarket with 2 people in front of me (by concidence, 2 women). The first woman goes through the tills fine, pays for her stuff and leaves.
The second woman steps forward, places her shopping bag on the floor and proceeds to bend down and take each item out individually and puts it on the conveyor! When the cashier has finished scanning everything and gives her the total, only then does she get her purse out to pay. She takes ages to sort out the bills she wants to pay with and then gets out and opens a second purse with her loose change in it! When she has finished paying, she then puts both purses away individually, before picking up each item in the bagging area individually and putting it back into her shopping bag which she has again put on the floor (all the while moaning about her back!)
I was on the point of shouting at her: FFS either shit or get off the pot!!!!!!!!!!!8 -
When you get a knot in the drawstring of your shorts/joggy bottoms and you're desperate for a piss. You've then got to try to wiggle the tightened cord down over your hips with your thumbs like you're in the opening dance scene from Grease whilst maintaining to keep Four pints of Stella housed safely within.5

Next time pre order something (like a book) that falls into that category to get over £20, then when the item you want arrives just cancel the other item.Stig said:Trying to buy something on Amazon and getting a message 'this is an add on item'.

The lowlifes that infest the building world, specifically, the process of approval, from Parish Councils to Architects to Building Inspectors, especially building inspectors.
My extension plans and building regs are approved, tick.....builder digs footings to approved depth and orders concrete as quoted and approved, tick.....building inspector turns up (his departments have approved the building regs) and decides that the footings need to be twice the depth, concrete (that is waiting to be poured) is now wasted and recycled......builder has to hire bigger digger and the concrete is now twice the price quoted.......its not the builders fault.....the architect missed that the footings need to be deeper and the building inspector reg people approved the regs....and none of them admit that they are culpable, they just blame each other .....its just cost me 2k.
Sorry to rant but I am so pissed off! How this industry functions is beyond me....!0 -
Sounds like your architect is at fault there....0
