This is a question Job Interview Disasters

The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

Can I be the first to suggest
that we declare this /qotw an Amorous Badger Monumental Fail?

Surely, if there was an opportunity for him to trot out and repost AGAIN that sad, tired old pic of the post from AB's unoriginal and itself slightly creepy archives, where Albert Marshmallow proves himself to be a creepy sexpest by hacking into young ladies' webmail accounts in order to go looking for their nudey pics; wouldn't this week's /qotw be the most appropriate time and place?
Yet here we are on Sunday....

QOTW IS ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO HAPPEN IN MY WEEK.
I AM GLAD WE HAVE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BOND OVER THIS SHARED LIFE PRIORITY.

/qotw is another one of the mostly distracting tabs I have open most days whilst I'm working. I usually go on it whilst my family are either sleeping (I'm an early riser) or not at home (wife at work and kid at school).
At the moment, after a lazy Sunday (following a fairly busy week) they are watching a movie I don't want to, (City of Ember) and ironing clothes ready for next week.
But good on you for attempting to find another vector with which to attack me and my involvement with this site.
"Cheers" & well done to you. Hope you are proud of your effort and feel better for having posted it.

have you considered ECT?
it might jolt some fucking sense into you.

So your story is
that you're trying to tell me off for "attacking" you after I made a humorous response to your attempt to attack two other people.

Self-awareness isn't your strong suit is it?

Dear Mr Knob Hairbelm
May I enquire as to why you felt the need to post this? In the past you have expressed disquiet when other posters have made an entry in to QOTW merely to slag others off, yet you seem to be quite content to do so yourself.

Are you happy to hypocritical in this way? What do you feel you personally gain from this?

I now await some form of barely coherent response where you ask me to 'sell your book', rather than a considered answer to my questions.

If you can't beat 'em
play their game.
Whether you win or lose is immaterial really isn't it?

In other words - if I had spent some time seeking out the RL details of a number of posters that have bullied and harassed me online (including you), I may have chosen to NOT post them because that is quite explicitly against the rules of this site and doing so would make me no better than you.
Then again I could just be a snide cunt. Like you.
EDIT: The "Sell my book" thing is just me giving you shit for the fact that you lambasted apeloverage repeatedly, on & on about his book after he posted the cover from Amazon. It was the best sales pitch ever. Sorry, I thought you'd figured that 1 out. Maybe I have overestimated you afterall.

ABLOOBLOOBLOOBLOO
fucks sake. have you considered, i don't know, letting this go? i suspect you're at the stage where you tell people in real life about this moral war you're single-handedly waging on the collective scourge of the internet.

i also suspect that, much like the internet, real life doesn't give the faintest shit.

You seem somewhat upset.

(, Sun 24 Nov 2013, 11:52, closed)
nope, no upset here.
just questioning your mental health, is all. i bet the winter nights just fly by in your house, what with you gibbering on about people on the internet.
(, Sun 24 Nov 2013, 13:10, closed)
The ironing of you
questioning anyone else's mental health is somewhat staggering to behold.
(, Sun 24 Nov 2013, 20:21, closed)
my mental health is fine, thanks.
never felt better. i wonder if i should write a twenty thousand word essay to an indifferent audience to explain that? seems to work for you.
(, Sun 24 Nov 2013, 22:07, closed)
Good to hear.
I would actually say that I post stories to a website based around telling tales dependent upon what the given topic is for that particular week.
It has very little to do with my mental or physical health.
Whatever floats your boat tho my dear.

HOW DARE HE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN SPEND EVERY WAKING MOMENT ON A SHIT MESSAGEBOARD LIKE YOU DO.

Really? Surely AB tops the list of the fucking sad autists on this site.
I find his knowledge of past posts more than disturbing. He is everything weird and creepy about the internet.

I find this quite amusing, although probably not in the way you intended.
You normally complain when AB posts. This time you're whingeing about how he hasn't. It's at best tangential to the question, and strikes me as undermining your frequent point that you don't care about what he posts.
You're coming across as quite pathetic, frankly.

The time and effort that some people put into bickering with strangers on this forum is astonishing

It's fun to watch though sometimes, if a little depressing

That's what SHE said.

Thank you for taking the time to notice
and then comment.
Your input has been taken on board.

Do you get off on this?

wynoh's the only person so far who got the point I was trying to make here
and it was a whinge from him/her.
Rather than be a snide prick like many of the other posters on this board and thread I thought I would simply say that I had 'heard' and understood what he/she was telling me.

No, I don't get off on this. I was simply attempting to make a point about some of the double standards displayed here by some of the posters. I was trying to be a bit funny (as in tongue in cheek) what with the old "comedy website lol" thing.
Sorry if you didn't get it. I'll try not to be so obtuse in future.

Actually belay that -
Battered kinda got it in that he could see that I was being a hypocrite and Edenmonster clearly sees AB in the same light that I do.
(, Sun 24 Nov 2013, 21:16, closed)
It's not a case of you being too obtuse, it's just that you're dull, shit and unfunny and nobody likes you.

I love how you speak for everyone BD.
Trust me when I tell you this - I would be more concerned if people with your attitude liked me than not.

The more you post the less likable you appear.
Sorry to be so frank.

Furry muff.
My dreams of being the most popular person here haven't quite been dashed then.
Terrible bullying of Mr. Snow here!

I find the dichotomy here interesting.
I posted the above as a joke, a parody, a pisstake of the fact that AB has (I'm not kidding here) posted the pic I mentioned nearly a hundred times on this board.
My point was that considering the nature of the pic (and original post by Alby) and the frequency with which AB posted this pic (not to mention the other links, pics or verbatim text that other posters have posted - again it seems I'm not the only person who finds that a bit creepy and obsessive) - surely this weeks topic was THE FUCKING LEGITIMATE PLACE TO POST THE PIC!.
But no.
Only a few of you seemed to have got that I was taking the piss. A lot of you seemed to get upset with me.

Now.

Considering some of the shit that's been hurled my way by AB alone (let alone any of the other shitflingers) - I make a post criticising and taking the piss out of AB, all the shitflingers (and a couple of others) get all upset. And then proceed to try and bully me. Again.

All I can say is -
"comedy website lol" you sad, sorry bunch. I genuinely hope you all have "internet personas" because if you behave even an iota like you do here in RL.... well, let's hope Darwin was correct and there is some form of natural selection.

I got it. AB is out saving lives, works in a hospital don't ya know. Of course you know, even the most
casual user would know that.

It's a shame he doesn't work in mental health
he might be able to help this poor cunt before he does himself a mischief.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP.
historically, when you get to the dissection of internet message board etiquette, you are about 5 minutes away from a massive whining flounce.

maybe just skip to the never-coming-back part?
