Perfect, I can tell you all a lovely story about how I was screwed out of a job because of facebook.
I was busy, slogging away at my old job. And was called into a meeting room by my manager. Nothing strange there, figured it would be some kind of review.

As soon as the door closed, my manager's happy voice turned sad.

"I'm very disappointed in you Dave"

At this point I'm thinking... "WTF?"

I was then handed an envelope containing an invitation to a disiplinary meeting, a print out of my facebook page, and a letter explaining... in no uncertain terms, that it is not O.K. to call the company you work for. "CUNTS"

The next week, the meeting.

I stated my case, they stated theirs. My union rep was nice and supporting. And I was dismissed.

So, thanks facebook. You steaming bunch of wankers.

» I Quit!

I was assistant manager...
In a crappy little shop in a dead retail villiage.

I was already on my notice as I was due to move to a better job and the company seemed to be sinking.

But when (for a third day runnung) I was phoned and told to get in early as I would be on my own all day, and my replacement would be in for an interview, so be nice to him....

I decided to fuck things up a bit.

I drove to a different store, walked up to the manager, handed her a pile of shirts and the keys to my store, and said;

"Someone else can open up whiteley today, I'm never going back there again"

And walked out.

I'm not sure what made it more worthwhile... The look on the staff's faces, or the fact that they managed to make my replacement wait around for 4 hours for someone from london to drive down to interview him.

I think I won that one.

» My most gullible moment

Not MY most gullible, but possibly my little cousin's.
I have a large extended family who are all quite close, and at some point we were all (about 16-18 of us) sat down having a chineese.

It became clear that there were nowhere near enough sweet and sour chicken balls to go around....

What did we do? Try and share? Did we fuck! Managed to convince the two youngest of my cousins that they were deep friend monkey brains.

1-0 to the older cousins.

(they were really, very good chicken balls)

» Ripped Off

chicago rock cafe in fareham
ended up there on a pub crawl last week. was too drunk to argue.

£5 entry to what is essentialy a pub.

then, after waiting ages to get a drink...

was royally raped £7.30 for a double vodka redbull.

ONE drink?!?!?

i think i'll stick with going to weatherspoons where a pitcher of the same is £6.95

its allways worth the look on the guy's face when you ask for a straw with your pitcher.
