It's Yonge, not Young or Younge

When people have been living in or around Toronto their whole lives and still mess up the spelling of this iconic street, I just don't get it.

When there's a big gap of space and people insist on brushing up beside you as they walk by

To get rejected from a job opportunity

Two sucky parts:

1) Not even the courtesy of a "sorry we went with another candidate". The person took the effort to actually come in, possibly raising suspicion at work for disappearing, and meet with you. The least you can do is write a short email to inform them you didn't choose them.

2) When they CALL TO REJECT YOU! And then also send an email to say "hey I couldn't reach you, can we talk tomorrow morning" and you think it's an offer. But no, just calling to tell you you were rejected.

Thanks. A lot.

Okay 3 things I hate.

3) When you get rejected for "fit" vs the other final candidate. If the other candidate had more experience, or certain required skills, etc, I get it - I can work on honing those skills or what have you. But I can't change "fit" and that basically says there's something inherently wrong with your personality to get the job, even though you were qualified in every other aspect.

Excuse me while I cry as I listen to Skyscraper.
