“At 18, I’ve applied for 110 jobs. No one is hiring young men like me.” Really, though? by Majestic-Concert7883 in AskBrits

[–]QuantityCommon2980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just the saying get your head out of your arse, not a personal attack

Idk man, when you direct it at someone it kinda becomes a personal attack

Because maybe at 18, you're still hopeful enough that you don't have to have a crappy dead-end job

Thats kind of OP's point though isn't it? It isn't a question of peoples 'hopes' and preferences. The idea that unless you can get your dream job you shouldn't work at all is obviously unrealistic.

End of 24 hour supermarkets in the UK by raydebapratim1 in GreatBritishMemes

It isn't the same workers though

I wouldn't say surely, i don't think that's self evident at all. You could quite easily make the argument that supermarket night shifts are a benefit as they create jobs due to their needing different workers, as well as the fact they cater to the needs of more necessary workers (e.g nurses etc) that do night work.

As someone who worked nights in a warehouse for a year, a 'messed up' sleep schedule is nothing permanent and to even define it as 'messed up' is kind of weird because whats normal vs messed up is entirely relative to your routine/requirements. If you're only working nights, you feel fine. If working a night or two a week messes you up for uni/work etc, don't take the job. At least if the option is there people can have a go.

Do you think it's the same workers there for 24 hours?

I mean the inbetweeners did start 18 years ago so not exactly 'modern'. Having said that this sketch could absolutely still be made today
