We forgot to mention the job involves being a kidnap risk in a corrupt destitute country
About 13 years ago, I was interviewing for an advisory consultant role for a trade organisation. Pretty dull, and the salary was below average, but I needed another job and this was walking distance from home. About half way through they asked how I felt about travelling for work. "That would be fine". How would I feel about spending a week a month in Africa (as a prisoner in a hotel, advising corrupt governments on best practice, and potentially being kidnapped)? My first thought was "You gotta be fucking kidding, when were you going to mention that?" What left my mouth was "That would be inconvenient."

On the way back I rang the agency, and warned not to waste anyone's time like that again.

I think that would be kind of exciting.

If it was SEXY kidnapping, of course.
None of that 'sending body parts to loved ones' shit.

I always laugh at the beheading videos.
I think it's a fitting end for a moron who thinks that working in a war-torn country is a reasonable way to make a living. It's almost as if these twats want to commit suicide but don't have the guts to do it.

"I always laugh at the beheading videos."
No you don't. If you do then seek help.
