Helicopter Parents
Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.
Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

It astonishes me
that any parent, no matter how hovering and protective, no matter how 'nothing-is-too-good-for-my-baby' etc, could fail to see the irony inherent in her statement:
"I have enough trouble getting her out of bed before teatime as it is, if you think she's going to call you then you've got another thing coming"
if the brat is too slackarsed lazy to haul her overspoilt carcass from bed then do you honestly think she is going to commit to volunteering? Ditto for the statement 'she's too busy' - you should have said 'well if she's too fucking busy to call or give us a copy of her CV then she's too fucking busy to do the work we'd require of her. we're not interested, sorry, bye.'
/rant over. (sorry, but this kind of thing genuinely brings me to the brink of rage induced coronary...)

I would have, only I am the model of professionalism at work
It's after we hang up the phone that we call people fucktardly cunts of the highest order, not during...that would be rude.
