    Only thing I can think of is maybe it's possible that it's a small company with a very unique position (job posting would give it away) and it would be a job replacing someone who doesn't know they are soon to not have a job.

      Yeah, I thought of that, but it's still not right. I feel like finding a way to send them a few fake 'perfect' resumes... Let them try to get a hold of these potential employees...

          But maybe I'm on to something here. You see a job you like, you find a way to send a bunch of terrible resumes (with fake names) and then you send your own real resume, which is so much better...hmmm...

            People answering an either/or option question with "yes".

            Happens all the time at work and it annoys the snot out of me.

            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

              It does in my classroom so many times, haha.

              Not the same thing, but I try really hard to make sure that people know my response to a question like: "So you don't want to go today?" If you respond with "Yes," someone doesn't know if you are confirming what they are saying, or stating the opposite of it. I would just respond with "Correct."

                Really gets to me when I have to block traffic because of a tree that fell across all lanes of travel and people try to pass my car that has blue lights activated.

                I just park and block the street for fun obviously. Sure go ahead right by me. Or they just give me the point asking if they can pass my car. Like yea sure go on. I mean I'm just trying to inconvenience your day. Go for it pal

                Then they act like I'm the one who intentionally knocked over the tree just so I could add an extra 5 minutes to their commute.

                  I knew you guys did that on purpose.
                  I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                        I'll admit to being one of those people. My legs are frankly to long to sit on our buses.

                        That said, I do go out of the bus to let others out rather than making them go around me and then get back on when they are all out.

                          I can't even process that reality. Here in SoCal we would all go off the rails if we couldn't use cash or cards in any consumer purchasing environment in 2017.
