    Pretty sure there's very few laws Metro drivers obey.   They certainly don't obey any driving laws.

Cunts who park on the entire footpath so they dont have to walk 10yrds from the nearest suitable parking spot.

cunts who park in the kiddy part at buckshaw tesco because its right outside the door and they cant be arsed walking 20ft.

Fuckwit clients who want my people to work for nothing. And proceed to try and educate us that what they're offering is in line with the market.

 

"Leisure centres". You can't book a court more than a week in advance, then they never answer the phone, then all of a sudden there's no courts available because the blind asian lesbian society have booked them all

 

Ten to two drivers that sit an inch from the windscreen and as soon as there's any rain can't drive over 15 miles per hour and become very indecisive

Nobwit recruitment agents who try and charge me 20% commission on people who they are putting forward for positions that I have available, when all they've done is trawl Monster.co.uk or other such websites and just pass on the CV's - some of them haven't even taken the time to meet with the candidates before pushing their CVs through to me....so I end up wasting my time meeting some right dicks.

 

Also, recruitment agents/consultants who try and tell me what the market price is for people in my industry.....just fuck off, I've been in the industry for 20 years and I know what the going rate is, you don't work in my industry so don't try and tell me you know better then me.

I hate that Tesco, it's too small to do a big shop, but big enough to trick me every week into thinking it will have what I want.

Rawtenstall's is like that.

Now Jules, I'm sure you don't, but you must admit there are many recruitment agencies who just seem to spend their life pulling CVs off various websites and sending them out (often unsolicited) hoping to get a lucky bite - to try and claim 20% for that sort of activity is outrageous.

 

I deal with a couple of agencies who are very good, and I've had dealings with ones who are not so good - I certaibly don't have a downer on recruitment agents, as Mrs CWP does it for a living. I just don't like those who try to claim money for doing virtually nothing

You're still missing some very relevant points

 

I could be here all day and go to town on this regarding the market but I won't, I'll eave you with this:

 

.....even for the ones who you claim just pull CV's from websites and charge you 20%....whilst the industry is based upon contingent recruitment, you're not just paying for a "lucky CV"; you're paying for the time the agency has worked a job and not placed it....i.e. for free. For the staff that are probably there 12 hours per day. For the huge and rocketing advertising costs. For the amount it costs to do everything they do....and the client pulls the job....and the client offers a stupid offer that the candidate(s) won't take.....that the client fucks them over by passing the CV to a "mate" who wil claim to have spoken to them first and charge 10%.

 

I've done what I do for 12 years and there's some good, bad and ugly like every industry, but I have never ever seen such bullshit, theft, fraud and downright shitty behaviour from any recruiter than I have clients and candidates who will shaft you.

 

Shite like you've posted is not just ill informed it's a viewpoint that keeps my industry viewed like a dark ages witch-hunt.

 

It's clueless bollocks and makes my blood boil

I was parked up there one dinner last week eytin a butty and a car pulled up in front of me in one if the disabled spots with a geeky looking wonky haired office type wanker whos never needed to shave his face sat texting and smoking a roll up/spliff with thump thump music blaring out.

 

He sat there for a few minutes finishing his smoke, engine running, music blaring. I'm thinking 'Virgin prick, Why does he need that disabled bay right outside the front door when the car park is empty?'

 

I felt a bit of a cunt when he got out and it was clear through his trousers and his limp that he had a false leg.

cunts who sit at the lights then when they change to green, put the car in gear and let handbrake down, fuckin winds me up

You'd be sat there a lot longer if they didn't!

Lack of any kind of anticipation when driving.

 

That said, I've noticed that councils are saving of traffic signals by not bothering putting them opposite the junction so you can see light changes from beyond the stop line. Pisses me off that you could be in the middle of the junction waiting to turn right but don't know the lights have changed until traffic from the other set of lights are bearing down on you. This is particularly evident when turning right from Crompton Way into Thicketford Road.

Like you said, good and bad - only had to deal with a recruitment agency once and what an experience that was.

 

Don't know what was the most fun, her doing a mock interview with me over the phone ( Her - "what sort of vegetable would you be?" Me "Piss off, they won't ask me that". Her 'You'll never get a job with that attitude').

 

Or her ringing me up at home to abuse me when she found out I'd got my mate a job at the same place and trousered a £500 bonus. She really wasn't happy about that.

...I felt a bit of a cunt when he got out and it was clear through his trousers and his limp that he had a false leg.

 

I use disabled bays and disabled bogs all the time, however I also wear shinnies at all times - then if anyone pulls me up I shout:

 

"I am disabled yer dickhead!"

 

Then I loudly knock on the plastic of the pads, before walking off with a limp ;)

 

My vote goes to dickheads who send snotty, bordering on personally abusive emails - mistakenly thinking they're safe from direct confrontation due to geographic distance.

 

If you wouldn't speak to someone like that to their face, don't click send.

 

That's an idea for Dragon's Den actually - a sort of network of volunteer proxies to go out and give someone miles away a dry slap on your behalf. A bit like the plot in 'Throw Momma from the Train'...
