What do unemployed people do all day?

whiteonion

Unemployed people obviously have much time on their hands and I wonder what unemployed people do all day. Do you spend much time looking for work? What do you do with your lives?

Working illegally.

Play pitch an putt. Occasionally buy a scratch card...if it wins...they drink it. Then they might open up a chipper van with their buddy.

It doesn't sound like you are serious when it comes to finding work, if I was unemployed I would feel ashamed that others are paying for my living.

Look for work (well kind of obvious I suppose). Cycling. Voluntary work. Doesn't fill the week as much as a real job would but it helps. Sometimes a bit of reading.

xzanti

Watch Jeremy Kyle

Biggins

O' good he's back with high class threads!

Chop white onions with a big cleaver.

Sounds like you just wanna give out to the unemployed rather than actually caring what they do with their day. Get a life yourself and stop posting ridiculous threads. :mad:

AudreyHepburn

Look for work anywhere and everywhere, go for walks, practice my driving, visit the grandparents, meet friends if they are off work. I like to keep busy or I'd go stir crazy!

Life's too short to feel shame.

I have no work, during the summer I plan to:


Write a book
Get fit
Appreciate nature
Go see historical sites I have always wanted to
Do some fishing
Volunteer to help the needy
Some gardening



Yeah so basically I will end up sitting at the computer talking sh!te or drinking with the lads

While I am not slating those that have paid their PRSI and deserve the money having been laid off for the forseeable future through no fault of their own, I can't help but say that if you are on the dole because you don't have anything esle to do, at least try to get a some sort of job. A grandiose Sense of entitlement can be an awful thing. Living on the dole for 10+ years isn't exactly a great standard of living.

I get drunk all day and smoke crack cocaine. If i have money left over i bet it all away on Greyhounds or treat myself to some heroin.

Oranage2

If I'm having a particularly lazy day I wake up at 5pm, otherwise its 3pm.

whiteonion

In my area many unemployed people are seen wearing tracksuits and eating an excessive amount of takeaway.

LuckyGent88

gym, golf and astro turf most days with a **** and Fifa thrown in now and again. And of course go on boards for all the bant.

alex73

All the more reason for them to cut the rates.

Perhaps, if you have the misfortune of losing your job OP, you'llcome back to this thread and tell us what you're doing with your day.

Till then, mind your own.......

Sound good to me except for the greyhounds I would rather the horses.

No, with my help my mother is eating a very healthy diet. My parents very rarely go out to restuarants or bars. They also never get takeaway.

If I was employed I would feel ashamed of being a tool of the man while the government gives most of the money I generate to rich bankers!

baldbear

2-3 **** a day. Read the newspaper. Go to the gym. Listen to the radio. Go on boards. Grow weed.

What about the guys that sign on after they turn 18? You know, the people who probably have never worked? If they have some serious health problems or something, maybe I would agree. Sitting on the dole for 20 years isn't very fun I would imagine.

I hear your mother is partial to the occassional spit roast alright.

phasers

I bake, I garden, I make stuff, I research college courses, I apply for jobs, I help my Mam (do the shopping, bring her places, cook the dinner, allsorts) and I mind my nephew 2 or 3 days a week. There's only so many hours you can put into jobseeking before you're all out of stuff to apply for.

And I surf boards and watch loads of tv. Boring as hell, I need a better hobby.

That you have passed 800 posts without getting yourself permanently banned is a reflection of the fact that you are one of the dullest trolls in the history of Boards.ie.

I'm gonna claim multiple doles from you and your parents tax euros and buy lots and lots of take away.

wolfpawnat

Get my dole,
Go to the bookies,
Leave the toddler outside in the buggy for 15 min with only a t-shirt and shorts (cheap in Tescos this week) in the pissing rain because I had too much hash and thought he was the dog!
Go get me lotto,
And 40 ciggies for the day,
Go to the offy,
Sit down with me ma and drink Dutch Mould,
Complain to the CWO that she is cutting my Rent Allowance because I have my drug dealing bf staying with us, he is only out of prison, might as well give him a hand while he finds his feet.

The usual really! :rolleyes:

Can't think of a stereotype I didn't include!
