Why is anyone going to work?

ilovesleep · 03-01-2011 5:33pm #1

For all you lucky people that have jobs. Can I ask why in holely name of god all christ almighty is anyone going to work?

There is so much corruption happening at the top here in this country. Our government is making fools out of everyone going to work to pay tax on your income to steal it and squander it away and add it to fat pensions.

your idiocy corrupts my intelligence

flyton5 · 03-01-2011 5:35pm

OP this is for you: :rolleyes:

wicklowwonder · 03-01-2011 5:36pm

and pay people who dont work....

Mr. Loverman · 03-01-2011 5:36pm

Yeah, we should all live on a diet of fresh air and muck. And live under the ground in a burrow.

Max Power1 · 03-01-2011 5:37pm

If nobody worked who would pay the taxes to fund the OP's likely dole payments?

@ OP -> :rolleyes:

Uriel. · 03-01-2011 5:38pm

OP you and indeed the world,would be better off if you went back to sleep, seriously.

Just like all the socialists on the dole.

Down with the system! But keep paying our dole, ok?

Disco Volante · 03-01-2011 5:41pm

I'm contractually obliged to show up to my job other than that I'm contractually obliged to myself to not be a waster.

Pace2008 · 03-01-2011 5:42pm

Just back from a great 3-day holiday in Manchester and heading out for a few pints now.

I can do this because I work.

kfallon · 03-01-2011 5:42pm

I'm going to work so I can afford to enjoy my weekends to the max!

starbelgrade · 03-01-2011 5:43pm

Mary Harney ate my baby, then used it's bones as a toothpick.

True story.

Sanjuro · 03-01-2011 5:43pm

I work because I like keeping busy. I enjoy the creativeness of my job. I like to eat, provide shelter for myself and enjoy the little things in life that unfortunately cost money. I don't like paying taxes, but it's unfortunately a necessary evil. That enough reasons?

FreudianSlippers · 03-01-2011 5:44pm

If I didn't have to work I wouldn't. I enjoy my job but if I didn't have to do it I wouldn't.

I wouldn't work if I didn't have to, but I think I would probably go insane.

I genuinely wouldn't. I'd have a blast!

Am working over 5 1/2 yrs now and very greatful to be I return tomorrow but I tell ya if I lost my job anytime soon I couldn't be idle again been there done it such an awful waste of a life that it can be.

Ruu_Old · 03-01-2011 5:48pm

Must be nice being able to live with and be propped by Mammy and Daddy all your life.

The insane don't realise they're insane.

Therefore, you are already insane.

Self-respect.

almostnever · 03-01-2011 6:16pm

I'd go crazy without something concrete to focus on. Two weeks without college and I'm already itching to get back. Still haven't started any of my assignments, of course!

Friends of mine on the dole are about to embark on the third 5+ day trip to Amsterdam in the past 14 months. As well as drinking once or twice a week and never being short on recreational drugs for lack of money.

To answer the OP: I go to work because it's a handy bit of money each week. Can't sign on while I'm in college :P

tallaghtmick · 03-01-2011 6:26pm

Somehow I dont think thats a viable alternative.:rolleyes:

newtoboards · 03-01-2011 6:30pm

I work because I love my job. If I lost my job in the morning I would definitely have to find something to replace it, even voluntary work as I cannot stand being idle

It's much easier to be sitting down while idle.

You know the weather is getting better and the christmas is over when these stupid treads are popping up again

Cheap Thrills! · 03-01-2011 6:38pm

I work for money, cash, loot, wads.
No other reason.

All this b0ll0x about self-respect and going mad with boredom if you didn't work is nuts!!!

I mean really? If I didn't have to work I would find endless things to do and never be bored. Ever. Even if I was broke, I'd be happier just chilling out and relaxing rather than working. Working is boring.

As for self respect. I don't get any self-respect from working. Workers in this country are the biggest gillies of all time. It makes sense in this country NOT to work. I don't consider myself any better than people on the dole, just randomly luckier.

Money is the only reason to work. You'll get your odd freak who gets personal satisfaction from fcuking spreadsheets but they are mentally ill.

RMD · 03-01-2011 6:41pm

OP if you're jobless I'm going to assume you're living off some form of social welfare, so how about a little respect for the people who provide that money? Us who are working, the taxpayers.

funk-you · 03-01-2011 6:46pm

To pay for your commie lifestyle OP, obviously.

I'd never thought of it that way!

I'm going to go in tomorrow and resign.

Because, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have any money to buy cream for bed-sores, and being charitable helps us keep the Catholic guilt at bay.

Simply the dole money is not enough neither for my expenses and ambitions. The dole money would cover my cat's food.

I think it's more the IMF/ECB/EFSF paying their social welfare these days in fairness.
