Just home from working in the local supermarket. I've been working there part-time for the past 8 years while I was in school and college.
Anywho some auld middle-aged bint same in today and told me I should do the decent thing and quit so that other more needy people can have my job! :mad:
I normally wouldn't advocate violence but seriously wasnted to hit her in the face with a shovel!

So has anyone ever said something to you that left ya raging??

MrStuffins · 27-11-2011 07:53PM

Why did she say that?

chocksaway · 27-11-2011 07:55PM

Think she just had nothing else to complain about.. she's a regular in the store who's always causing grief!

Chuck Stone · 27-11-2011 07:55PM

Tell her she should die so that people don't have to pay her pension.

A simple "You're old and nobody cares what you think" would suffice in that situation OP!

I'm going to share.
I got asked for ID in the offie today. I'm 25, have an 'unemployment beard', have grey hair and I'm balding. I also have a 3 year old.
My friends think I look early 40s.

I DO NOT LOOK 17!
It took me a minute and a half to persuade the dozy bitch. :mad:

wow...every second is minus an IQ point......thats minus 90 for her

she would have had to start at a fairly high level to be superior to that weird lobsided wood pigeon that hangs around my back garden!

Nah just the one! In college studying for a masters! Gotta pay the bills somehow!

whydoibother? · 27-11-2011 08:14PM

It's called jealousy OP. When someone makes a bitchy dig like that, they are usually jealous of something and it doesn't have to be jealousy of the immediate thing such as your job in this case, could be any aspect of your life - your freedom, your prospects, whatever.

"If X Factor is so shít, why do so many people watch it?"

-"I'm glad Jedward didn't win, I'm already sick of hearing about them."
-"What would you rather talk about? The recession?"

"Why would there be a Spanish embassy in Dublin" (didn't leave me fuming, but it was a moment of sheer ignorance on my ex's part)

A maths teacher in my old school referred to ordinary level maths as "maths for retards" in a conversation with another teacher in the hall. Always bugged me.

In fairness he had a point. Anyway ordinary level is not real maths and people who do it will never get anywhere where they may need real maths, so who cares.

Ordinary maths is not aimed at mentally retarded people so she doesnt have a point.

I worked in a shop a few years ago. I went in one morning on two hours sleep for various reasons and the first customer of the day told me it was fairly obvious I hadn't had much sleep because I 'looked a state'. Cheeky b........

Not really, how will somebody who did ordinary maths for the LC manage in a science or engineering degree. If they couldn't be arsed putting in enough extra work to keep up higher level in school they sure wont after.

I think you'll find Ordinary Maths to be much more REAL and exist more in the real world than Higher Maths

That was so inconsiderate of him! Did he not appreciate the effort it took for you to come in!

Who did she want the job for? Does she think you are minted or something. Strange woman. I'd bar her.

You had the perfect situation for a comeback here.

"It's obvious you haven't had much sleep, you look a state"

- "Well you'll know all about that soon when your baby comes"

"But i'm not pregnant"

You obviously don't grasp the concept of real maths. I'm sure working out 'real world situation' such as the chances of winning a chance game is great. plus everything done in ordinary level is covered in higher in the introductions to each topic!
