People That Annoy you


The Saltman

Recommended Posts

People that use every big word in the book just to "sound" smart.

I was working part time as a receptionist for an employment company. A woman came in mad because she had filled out an application for a job and hadn't been called as part of a job fair the company had. She demanded that she talked with a recruiter immediately and that she wasn't going to leave until she had a job!

I explained to her that the recruiters had a plethora of applications that they were working through and that simply filling out an application didn't guarantee her getting a job.

She said "What was dat word you used?"

I said, "Plethora?"

"Yea, dat word. Does it make you feel important to use big words that no one knows?"

I said, "It means a huge amount."

She looked at me and asked, "What kind of word is dat? You speakin' some foreign language?"

I assured her that is was English. A recruiter came out because they heard her yelling and took her back into an interview room. They did get her a job. Then she lost that job and called to talk to a recruiter. (I was always under orders never to put anyone through to recruiters, unless it was a family member. (Friends and family would call them all the time.))

I told her that the recruiters were busy, and that she should call the employment line to let them know she was available for work.

She then said, "I remember you! You are that ass that speaks to people in foreign launguage!"

And still I didn't hang up on her. LOL

This sounds like half the women in Spartanburg. Every trip to the bank, the grocery store and anywhere else is a special experience.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
