Someone on Facebook posted asking for help to fund a car for his son. They get benefits for him.

Everything and I mean everything about job searching. An endless cycle of misery and rejection, it saps the life out of you - it is making me the most cynical person ever.

And don't even get me started on those pieces of shit who use 'vacancies' to get free work out of you. Ya know the ones who ask for a task to be done, and then funnily enough after they've got their free material they slink away. Or those eternal 'internships', I know of one which is supposed to last 6 months - then leads to a job. Funny how that internship is constantly posted on Indeed, because hey why treat a human being with dignity and respect when ya can get free labour out of them?

They are beyond contempt.
I need to invent a word to describe people who are beyond pathetic, i'm still thinking...

People who insist on saying 'bless you' to every flipping sneeze in their vicinity, then get all passive aggressive when they sneeze and nobody says it to them.

That there is a little 8 year old boy in the cubicle next to us who asked for use of the DVD player from a older boy opposite us. They have had it for 3 days straight and have now put on a 3 hour movie (they say they will give the telly when the movie is over). However they have drawn the curtains and are playing monopoly really loudly, so not even using the tv. Bloody selfish!

There are 3 of these players on the children's ward and everybody has shared for the 5 days we have been here, except them.

People at work who can't be arsed to turn off the keypad tone on their phones.

Our work phones come set up to make a most irritating noise when you text, and if there's someone in the office texting a lot, the constant "bip bip bip" noise makes me feel like seeking out a sharp object and ramming it straight into the texter's sternum.

The man at a Sussex council who really can't see anything wrong with expecting a single mother who's been the victim of appalling domestic violence to try and get maintenance from her ex. My concern that this could put her at risk was met with "But she's entitled to it, she needs to make an application". Sensitive as a fossilised toenail, he was.

eBay auctions ending on a Saturday or Sunday. Makes jumping in with a sniping bid all the more "unlikely to work", darn it. - methinks sellers to this deliberately as they know weekends = more people by their computers, able to bid - bastards. ..............

I know. How dare they try to maximise their profits.

Websites that ask for your date of birth for no apparent good reason. I have no objection to giving my year of birth so that an age demographic can be established, but there is no earthly reason why they should have my full date of birth.

The obvious reason is that this information is used as a security identifier for some of my accounts, and I will not divulge it to any old Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Anyhow, I have a fake birthdate which I always quote - 18th May - and as a result, I have had a number of emails wishing me a happy birthday. Ha. Ha. And the checkout in Morrison's yesterday said the same and gave me a voucher for a free bar of chocolate. I expect she wondered why I didn't look joyful about it!

I used to work with one of those. She thought that if no one said it the sneezer would lose five years off their life!

I turned the in-app sounds off on Facebook because they irritated me and when Facebook has updated it turned the damned sounds back on.

eBaying a comic I already had because, when I tried searching for this months comic eBay also listed last months comic too and I didn't notice. So I'm now the peeved off owner of x2 Batman Superman #31s instead of a jubilant owner of a #31 and a #32. Frak on a pancake.

Recruitment agencies as they are full of shit.

One agent dismissed me today as my work was not varied enough - she hasn't even seen my work?! 'The company is looking for more of *insert-work-type-here', when I have 4 years plus of *insert-work-type-here.

Why oh why do they get people who don't have a clue about certain industries to recruit for those industries?

Waiting all day for someone to do a gas check then missing it. I'm pretty sure they didn't ring the bell or anything. I live in a top floor flat and was listening out for it all day. Got an annoying letter through my door saying they'd already been.

Nosy people
Acquaintances asking where I live, who I live with, what my salary is (was), if I have a partner etc.

The nosiest I got was 1)what type of porn do ya watch and 2) last time you slept with someone?
Asked by a pervy guy, my answers were 1) none of your business and 2) more recently than you mate (turns out I was right too)

English taxi drivers talking to me about the troubles.. Never talk about anything else.

Kinda tiring considering the troubles were gone by the time I was born so I have no recollection of it. I'd rather not talk about it.

I actually prefer it - less people, no screaming children and it's usually much quieter.

Yes, I tend to agree with this comment, but other than this, 1st Class doesn't serve any useful purpose, IMHO.
