Eric Moussambani Malonga (born May 31, 1978) is a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea.
Nicknamed "Eric the Eel" by the media, Moussambani won brief international fame at the 2000 Summer Olympics for an extremely unlikely victory.
Moussambani, who had never seen an Olympic-sized swimming pool before, swam his heat of the 100 m freestyle on September 19 in the unprecedentedly slow time of 1:52.72.
This was the slowest time in Olympic history by far and Moussambani apparently had trouble finishing the race, but he won his heat after both his competitors were disqualified due to false starts.
While Moussambani's time was still too slow to advance to the next round, he set a new personal best and an Equatoguinean national record.
He later became the coach of the national swimming squad of Equatorial Guinea.

Lollipop ladies/men at traffic lights has always been one that amuses me.

Though that said the ones that position themselves about 20 metres away from traffic lights do not amuse me.

You need them with all the selfish drivers who run red lights and speed across pedestrian crossings where people are waiting.

Reati · 12-09-2019 02:41PM

Checkout assistant on a line of self service checkouts? A slightly bit cleverer software is all they really need.

Yeah, I do agree, but it still amuses me.

EIR tech support or anyone in EIR for that matter.

Hhaha I love how people do down some jobs like code calling, it's all a load of bollox if you think enough about it.
Unless you're a doctor, nurse, fireman or something then you're job is most likely just there to support our capitalist society.

In general - the most ridiculous job goes to people who think their job is more important than others.

Fixed that for you.

You probably work in a bullshît role if you’ve a title that isn’t anyways reflective of what you do in your job. So being called an architect when you aren’t an architect, an engineer who isn’t an engineer, a consultant who doesn’t consult.

I was at a work event recently and got chatting to a fella at a coffee bar

"what do you do?"
"I'm a consultant" he goes. Now the lad couldn't have been more than 30 so I was naturally suspicious that he wasn't referring to a medical practice.
"What kind of consultant? “
—" I'm a social resource consultant" — basically the guy wrote tweets on behalf of an Irish bank.

The grandeur of these chancers is inversely proportionate to their skillset. They adapt exactly the kind of higher-professional titles that they would have no chance of aspiring to in the real world.

I knew a private investigator in Sydney who was hired by the council to suss out illegal brothels. Basically he went in paid, did the business then took the condom back as evidence.

I always loved the Americanised structure of many companies here: loads of "vice presidents" with "directors" below them and the very next level down being unpaid intern. Contrasts nicely with British structured organisations with a bunch of "Secretaries" as the title for genuinely senior and powerful people.

Your linkedin profile says you are a 'Thought Leader' but the rest of us refer to people in your category as 'C unts'.

And no, I wouldn't like to connect.

Most ridiculous job
