People That Annoy you

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.

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      I am excited! New coaching staff that has a plan and vision and finally the whole team/front office seems to be moving in lockstep. We got 2 new WRs. One in XL a rookie who looks like a beast and the other in DJ who is an absolute weapon. Excited to see Brooks and Sanders ( TE ). We got some Oline help finally. Excited to see if BY9 is the guy ( I think so, but we'll see ). Defense gets a 2nd year and hopefully some help from offense and I believe Evero can coach them to be VERY good this year. ST should be interesting because kick offs are completley new.   I was just thinking the other day I can't wait for preseason to start. Always signals the start of actual football for me.

      I think the people who contort themselves into a pretzel to act like the whole world is against Bryce just can't reconcile with the fact that none of this is any different than the discussions Panthers fans have had over any of the other failed QB's the last 5 years. Of course the *on field* difference is we didn't bottom out completely with any of those QB's. Appreciate your kind words.
