General things that Annoy you

Being thankful for what and who you have in your life. Time for family to be together. A very meaningful day for most Americans. One of the least commercialized holidays thankfully. A bad day for turkeys. Don't understand why it would annoy you.Alwaysneil said:Thanksgiving. What are you thanking and who are you giving it to? American pumped up turkey types r

So further from the above role in Dartford... I know I've got another job offer so not too fussed but still pissedForeverAddickted said:Aced a job interview today in Dartford yet annoyed with the Feedback that I've just been given
Apparently I'm "the outstanding Candidate" from the interview yet because its an IT type role, they're worried about my experience dealing with IT Hardware (Software I'm excellent with) yet know I have the knowledge because I built my own PC from scratch.
Because the other Candidates werent brilliant they now want the Agency involved to locate some more people for them to Interview so they've got someone to compare with me at the second interview stage... Should be pleased that it sounds as though I'll get to the second interview stage but does also feel as though they'll simply settle with me if they cant find someone better
As it is I've now got to play the waiting game to find out if my long term future can be secured!!
Had still been waiting on the Second Interview due to delays with the Recruitment Process and was forced to call last Friday to warn that another job offer was coming this week and that if they wanted me in for a second interview that they'd need to move themselves (got the usual response saying we definitely want you in for a second interview)
Wednesday came and got the job offer which I accepted, yet was prepared to retract my offer if anything came from Dartford... Regardless though, gave them another call and warned that the job offer had arrived and once again got the same line of: We definitely want to second interview you
Still hadnt heard anything yesterday and got an email last thing saying that the job had been filled and that they wanted to thank me for my interest in the role... Didnt bother to reply but proper pissed as they basically kept me hanging around when they clearly never meant to second interview me in the first place - Ultimately they could have cost me this job I did get, had I turned round to them saying I wanted a few days to consider
Bastards!! - Hope the bloke they employed is bloody rubbish!!6 -
I worked as a recruiter for 8 years and am still loosely involved in the industry and stories like this always get to me.ForeverAddickted said:

The recruitment industry as a whole lacks empathy, transparency and trust.
It's the same people that treat people like this who believe that machine learning / Artificial Intelligence can't replace the recruitment process because it lacks the emotional intelligence to deal with humans. Pretty ironic really.12 -
I've worked in the Recruitment Industry for seven years prior to getting out so know how Recruiters can be myself - to be honest I'm too annoyed with the Recruiter that I dealt with as he did seem a genuine nice bloke who had empathySurvivaloftheFittest said:

If the Company I interviewed at didnt want me I dont know what the Recruiter would have gained by stringing me along so my anger is definitely aimed at the Company hiring rather than the Recruitment Agency in this sense.
Unless for once instead of being highly suspect I'm being a bit naive0 -

I spent all day with my feet up with the TV on. The wife came home and said 'wow you must have a bad cold, you've used 2 whole packs of tissues!'15 -
Christmas decorations in the office, specifically the people who get offended when I decline the offer on tinsel on my monitor and a big bauble on my phone.
It’s only the 1st, I’ve got to deal with this shite until new year.4 -
We managed to get sat together anyway. Up yours O'Reilly...Algarveaddick said:
When you do finally get to check in you get allocated separate seats, but if you pay an extra £6 you can sit together - there's a spare seat next to mine. I ask if they cannot just seat us together - no, that is not company policy. So they deliberately seat you apart to get an extra few quid out of you.Algarveaddick said:When Ryanair send you an e-mail saying it's time to check in, so you go through the procedure then at the end it tells you that actually it isn't time to check in until 19.20 this evening...
No wonder people have such a low opinion of that company.
As the missus pointed out, we would happily have paid an extra £3 each for the seats in the first place, then they could have moved us together "free" and we would be saying "Don't know what people's problem is with Ryanair, they were most helpful when we wanted to move seats, they could have charged us but didn't".
Absolutely clueless on the psychology of customer service.
Hopefully the seat will be empty anyway and she'll just move over after take off. If not, I am sure she'll be happy to be away from my moaning for a couple of hours...

Wireless headphones.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they are quite useful and stop any hassle with wires getting tangled etc, but it really does look stupid. A white headphone just dangling out of the ear connected to nothing.
Sure that will offend some people on here who use them so apologies, but just can't help thinking how ridiculous they look.
Edit. By the way I'm not talking about the over the head ones. They look fine. It's primarily the white Apple ones that look absurd.2 -

I think the big over the head ones ( as worn by footballers disembarking the team coach ) look pretty daft too.Addickforlife said:Wireless headphones.

with the Apple ones I just know for a fact that I'd lose one of the two almost immediately and be livid.Addickforlife said:Wireless headphones.

News reporters who shout random questions at people (usually politicians) walking past. There's no aim or expectation of getting an answer, they're just looking to make themselves look big. Just shut your faces and report the facts.11
