What does a 14 year old do in a bank 6 days a week?

Masturbate furiously.
Or does she mean an actual bank?

I got 25 quid for that, 15 for the jizz, and 10 expenses.
I thought of it as a career choice, but you could only do it 3 times. Bugger.

I can't speak for Swipo, but knowing myself at that age that is how I would have spent my days there...

filing cheques (in 1992 there were a LOT of cheques)
franking the post, opening the post and delivering it around the bank, all sorts of admin. then when i was 16 i had to do the phones. being a telephonist is seriously DULL.

but it taught me huge lessons about the responsibility of having a job - when all my friends were lying in during the summer holidays, i had to get up and go to work. i blame my dad for my ridiculous working hours these days!

*sobs*
My heart bleeds for you.

No. Really. Honestly it does.

Are you making anyone homeless today?

ha, i'm not complaining
it was good for me. if i ever found myself in the unfortunate position of having a 14 year old, they'd be made to work too.

it was the same with the car. i got a car but only on the condition that i drove my parents anywhere whenever they wanted.

not today. although if i got a chance to do the st pauls eviction, i'd be on that shit like a virgin on a computer game.

What's the general mood about that place?
Brave campaigners, or trampytramps?
(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:02, Reply)

naturally i would say unwashed trampy tramps
they want financial freedom. ok, so if they were each contributing £100 per day in tax/NI, which might be an average of what people around there pay, when you think it's everything from goldman sachs to marks and spencers, that would be much more useful at helping people, surely.

but perhaps not as much FUN as being a sweaty anarchist and chanting slogans whilst not actually using your brain and putting in any effort to work, i guess.

Oh those altruistic city boys
We should all be more grateful.

they look much hotter in suits
than in natty dreads and dirty jeans.

i, for one, am grateful for this.

So you got a job because from your bank manager daddy, I assume there was no interview or application process.
So that's nepotism. Giving you work experience unavailable for people not related to bank managers at 14. You got given a car, you got given a house as a form of tax avoidance.
But you should be respected for earning a lot because you work hard. No, you got given every oppertunity that was not ever offered to the wider public, just because you managed to take advantage of them doesn't allow you to look down on those that didn't ever get that chance. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Why can you only click 'I like this' once?

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:32, Reply)

but it's totally hypocritical
this guy is forever going on about yet another job application and how he's going to move to london yet again and get yet another massive payrise. somehow it never seems to happen. if someone could give him a starter leg-up, i'm totally sure he'd say, "oh no thanks, i'd rather fail on my own terms."

it's what you do with it afterwards that counts.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:35, Reply)

It would be only hypocritical if/when I accepted it I looked down on the people who didn't get that "leg up"
Don't be thick.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:38, Reply)

i have no time for people who don't work hard
what they work hard at is irrelevant.

Tsk.

I never specified any races.
silly child.

it would only be hypocritical if he got where he is due to nepotism.
I know you dislike the man but he has a point. I also love that he clearly didn't have you on ignore all this time while you were sniping at him but has waited until this point to respond to you.

It is funny
but also a little bit creepy psycho, y'know, biding his time and all that?

I worked on a farm at weekends from 14 to 16. Loved it. Got me away from the house, got to drive big machines and earned a small amount of money.

Every kid should have a weekend job, regardless of family income.

exactly
i have friends in cheshire whose parents are filthy stinking rich, and they were still made to have jobs.

there is a massive difference between those people and the ones who were allowed to swan around on daddy's credit card from the age of 12.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:07, Reply)

I am sure there is a big difference.
Middle class people who think the world owes them a living are just as bad as chavs on benefits who think the same.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:09, Reply)

the only difference is that the m/c people aren't actually costing anyone except their own families.
so at least SOMEONE earned it!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 10:11, Reply)

True. It is the attitude that annoys me rather than the source of the money.

Paperboy from 13-15, worked as a glass collector and in a shop the summer I turned 16
Think I've only been out of work for 3 weeks altogether since I was 13.

From about the age of 8 or soo, working saturdays in one of dad's shops. Cheaper than a baby sitter, taught me stock control and lots of maths.
My favorite was when the hockey finals were on, setting up a stole inside Wembley Arena (and later the manchester ninex or whatever it's called), on the day before packing up the van, on the day working from about 6 in the morning 'till around midnight. I loved it.

I can honestly say, if I wasn't skilled at computery stuff, I would probably be working in some sort of market capactiy, I loved all of it, I'm fucking wicked at the banter.
