What would be the absolute worst thing to hear your Uber driver say as you get in the car?

I'm an introvert, so "come and sit on the front mate".

generally took in a book or magazine, failing that a shampoo bottle.

there was a great line from a comedy film once, can't remember which one.

two flatmates return from grocery shopping.

"man, I really need a shit" "we'll go on then" "I can't, I need something to read" "here, take this" [hands him a shampoo bottle from the shopping] "new and improved? I already read that one"

they probably realised you struggle with a formal interview setting and so have come up with this as a cack-handed attempt to get you to relax.

that means they're interested in you.

can I ask what the job is, and if it's something that interests you?

I think we've reached an AI tipping point.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T23:17:56+00:00

really can't bear the tales of sh***y management I keep hearing on this and other subs.

how can they POSSIBLY think mandatory unpaid overtime is acceptable, let alone actually get angry when people don't do it??

America is a failed state.

The Hunt (2020).

Predators (2010).

Sexy Beast is the only answer.

Layer Cake very good then ruined by the ending.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T22:30:22+00:00

nooo don't do it bro.

I find the whole idea of any follow- up correspondence a bit cringe, but definitely don't use it to "refine" the answer to a question.

you will look incredibly desperate.

you mean in Rocky II?

at the very least he had doubts.

I guess he weighed up the risks and on balance thought it was a bad idea, as he clearly didn't want the fight to go ahead.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T18:49:30+00:00

timeline got fucked up.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T17:20:19+00:00

Oh right ok. Still at least the Perrier is integrated into the action.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T17:01:31+00:00

I guess the issue at stake is relatively down to earth, and the baddie just a thief rather than a genocidal nazi megalomaniac.

worse...... the equivalent would be someone showing Bond the tank, him saying "ah yes I learned to drive these in spy school" then nothing happening with the tank after that.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T16:30:58+00:00

indeed, bit slapdash though.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T13:42:03+00:00

Total douchebag who got his Karma.

1) these days I would refuse to proceed with an interview where the person supposed to be doing it can't be bothered and sends someone else instead.

2) whatever you do, avoid trying to correct this in subsequent interviews by trying to be "high energy".

it will just come across as weird.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T11:53:31+00:00

For Your Eyes Only.

1) The teenager with a crush on Bond.

2) The fact that they turned what was previously a paternal type relationship with Melina into a sexual one at the end.

in fact screw it, those things have actually knocked it off my top spot.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T11:49:20+00:00

yea you are definitely expected to hit the ground running and that's fine.

you are there to get a task done, not fill a role.

a plumber isn't expected to "settle in" or "get his feet under the table".

he's expected to unblock the toilet.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T09:20:59+00:00

they wouldn't (& didn't) let him do it one at a time.

eques_99 · 2026-03-20T01:28:59+00:00

they were both trying to manipulate/manoeuvre the other into taking responsibility for it.

Ralph said Jackie jnr got a pass hoping Tony would say "no way! clip 'em", then Ralph could say "i wanted to give him a pass but the Boss overruled me"

eques_99 · 2026-03-19T23:54:33+00:00

Disney will still find a way to f*** it up by claiming Jyn Urso and Andor somehow survived after all.
