[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

Preparing for a job interview tomorrow. 90-minute "behavioural interview" - I hate behavioural interviews. Absolutely useless at them.

I don't even know what a behavioural interview is....

Typical FSM I'm afraid. They're an apathetic bunch.

True, there's that. Also I think most fans don't really care to 'meta comment' on their passion and interest. They just like to "live in it" with all that entails. I think that's unfortunate, but we can't all be wired that way.

Curiously, the topics that ARE "hot" usually don't interest me at all; I don't even click on them for the most part. I know I'm the odd man out on much of that (and that actually gives me some enjoyment too), but I find it hard to fathom how something like a friggin' film music event -- with concerts, seminars, meetings and so forth -- doesn't at least engage SOME enthusiasm beyond the 'oh...there's another event. Let's go to it' attitude.

I currently have three project plans to revise, six check lists to update with actions and decisions, and a slew of formal documents to prepare.
But it's only due for Friday morning, so I will have Thursday night to do all this (my day is full up already with emergency escalation meetings...).

So plenty of time.

Let's discuss gerbils.
Or James Horner.

Rarely do smelly fat fanboys want to get out of their dungeons out in the sun and actually meet...real people.

I went out last night to play in a pub quiz in town, we came 3rd but that's not what annoyed me. In fact being annoyed is putting it lightly, more like livid with impotent rage after bumping into an old 'pub' friend, when I say 'pub' friend I mean someone I only know from going out, someone I'll happily sit down with and have a decent conversation or a laugh with over a pint, anyway, he looked a serious MESS, busted nose, black eyes, cuts, bruises, swollen lips, a broken wrist and a broken rib, his crime was to get off a bus at the wrong place at the wrong time and get beaten to shit by a bunch of morons for no reason whatsoever ( was it his 'look'? He dresses goth/rock ), he wasn't robbed or anything, just mindlessly beaten up, thankfully some good spirited people came out of their houses and the thugs fled otherwise cripes knows how much more damage they'd have done.

Other than his music taste ( punk/goth/rock/indie ) he's one of us, a geek who is anal about sci-fi/books/comics etc etc, a real gentle person with not a violent bone in his body, I just find it so bloody senseless.

Mr Southall may find it unsurprising that this took place in the Southmead area of Bristol.

The police are involved and I hope you're right.

this sick violence is getting more and more attention lately. There has been accounts like this in Belgium and Netherlands recently (I'm sure anywhere else too). Hope they can catch the fucks. And I don't mind putting them in a square, and let a 100 men punch the shit out of them in reverse. Just for the sake of how it actually feels

or when it's filmed by a city camera (that's how I saw it on the news)

God yes, it can be, especially if you happen to be in the wrong place, a particular race or colour, dress code etc, thankfully these events are few and far between and only truly strike home when it's someone you know personally who has been attacked.

No different than most countries I suspect.

For that reason I haven't visited my city centre on a weekend for many years.

That's gang culture and it's a problem ( you forgot to mention guns ) but again it's mostly internal 'area' warfare. It's a shit situation that nobody has come up with right answers for.
