    Human Resources. The most heartless people on earth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,656 ✭✭✭norrie rugger


    Recruitment Consultants
    Human Resources
    Estate Agents

    Add Lawyers to that and you have my list.
    Oh and doctors that keep banging on about patient services but keep their huge salaries and private practices (using public facilities), causing a massive drain on the system.

    Thats pretty much what its like, people you dont know wasting your time to try and weasel some money out of ya.

    "Hey you stranger, wanna buy some insurance ? Switch to bog man spud powered electricity machine ? I see you looking at that 80 euro TV perhaps you want to spend an extra 4 grand on a surround sound/dvd/blu ray system to go with it." "Actually I dont even want a TV I'm looking for a double adapter" "Wow great choice sir, may I suggest a washing machine/microwave and American style fridge freezer to accompany that?"

    How many people go into a shop with a ball of cash not knowing what they want ? Or sit at home waiting for someone to knock on the door to sign them up for some stupid unheard of insurance plan ? Its bullying easily led and awkward people out of money is all it is.

    Those smarmy sh*theads who sit in the background on computers of action films like the Bourne Identity, Die Hard 4(though they were double crossed ha ha), Enemy of the state and Salt. Harvard CIA recruits who are too skinny to hold a gun. Always glad when they die horribly.
