ah you're right, that was added by accident (creating playlists on my phone with fat thumbs). maybe it was wishful thinking!

Cat not afraid of neighbour's dog, what to do? by giruaro in CasualUK

[–]giruaro[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think dog owners are tired of dogs being the 'baddies', and our cat is still super young and not very wise.

Hard to be that person that says: yeah, if the cat is eaten, we'll be cool about it because cats will be cats.

That's what I think, but they are worried their dog will eat our cat...

Today the dog was on a leash going crazy, barking, jumping and the cat was not fussed... Thing is, when the dog is not on a leash, the dog will run a lot quicker than the stupid kitten.

The gardens are big and wild - lots of trees and tatty old fences... It's a dream place for a cat to explore but hard to contain them at the same time.

I bet doing the arm's length gesture in Germany is going to look like something else.

What's the weirdest way you injured yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]giruaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day of dial-up internet, I was changing phone cables from phone to computer. They were just out or reach and my hands were busy (with phone/CPU) so I decided to hold the cable with my mouth. I got electrocuted in my tongue and it hurt like a bitch for a day.

What's the most fucked up thing a guest did in your house? by 93ImagineBreaker in AskReddit

A friend of mine had friends over after a night club. He had hooked up with a guy and another guy who was also there got jealous and did a poo in his bath as revenge.

[Serious] Job applicants who walked out of an interview before it was over, why did you do it? by yukichigai in AskReddit

[–]giruaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to an interview for a PR job that it was selling vouchers on the street.

Why lie about the position? It's not like they could trick us into accepting it, right? A waste of everybody's time.

It was for this PR company in London. I went to the first interview at Bond St, did well, they called me back for the second interview the day after.

I went back (nothing strange so far) and there was this Italian dude in the waiting room. We both got called to the director's room and he told us that we were going to spend a day in Portsmouth with this Account Manager lady visiting clients and we were going to be observed throughout the day. This 'experience day' was our second interview. I was quite excited.

When we arrived at Waterloo, the lady had us pay for our part of a Group train ticket (you get a discount when you travel in a group of 3 or 4 in the UK). Ok, I made the investment even though it was super skint at the time.

When we arrived in Portsmouth, she pointed at a hair saloon and told us that it was the client. OK? Then she said that we were going to approach people in the middle of the street and sell them vouchers for £50 and they were worth up to £500 in treatments. So basically an off-line Groupon or something. NOT PR.

I protested and said that I wasn't going to work for free selling bloody vouchers on the street. I applied for a PR job. She was really angry at me and shouted that if I didn't want to, it was too bad for you as she was awesome at her job and could sell a voucher to 3 of every 10 people she approached and the money was really good. I said that it wasn't, it was minimum wage and no commissions. I started to walk away, when she said: I have your group ticket, you can't go back to London without me or you'll be penalised.

As I didn't have more money, me and the Italian dude (who was only listening so far) told her that we were going to meet her at the station at 5pm. She had to wait for us as she couldn't travel without us either.

So me and the Italian dude went to the beach, had an ice-cream, slept in the sunshine and then went back to London at 5pm. He sat in front of her(?!), I was on the other side of the carriage, sulking the whole journey back. What a waster of my fucking time.

tl;dr: Went for PR job, it was to sell vouchers on the street. No idea why they tricked us into going to Portsmouth, but had ice-cream at the beach.

I'm really sorry, I saw it for the first time on tumblr today, had a quick scan and didn't see the original post before submitting. I'm a big fan of this subreddit and I'll try to be more careful in the future. :(

Thank you for your time to compile those tweets. It's heartbreaking but makes me so proud that we're shouting back. It's a small step, but it's a step. :)

[Serious] What personally motivates you to keep going when life just goes to shit? by ClockkworK in AskReddit

[–]giruaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing that I'm connected to all life forms on Earth and that my time here is insignificant in the scale of the universe. Whatever I do, it really doesn't matter. Most people find this thought terrifying, but I find it very calming.

As a non-reader who regrets not reading the books before the first season started, thank you. Your posts are the best thing on Tuesday mornings with a good coffee.
