Not ragey but just weird. Bringing shopping carts with you well outside the grocery store

I hope your leg is comfortable

Things I saw today that I just don't get

- a girl not only wearing socks with sandals but socks with scrappy heels (and non-fancy pants)

- me, standing by the doors connecting subway trains on a not very crowded weekend subway train, and then some girl literally smushed herself in the three inches to my right and the people sitting down in the seats to her right. Who thinks that is appropriate when it's not rush hour crowded?! And there was all this space right in front of us?!

- people breaking out their Canada Goose jackets. It is the beginning of October and 11 degrees. 

When you're nice and let the people in front of you as you get on the escalator...

But then they turn out to be those type of people who don't understand the "stand right, walk left" concept so you're stuck just standing behind them. 

Crowding at the subway doors

When there is space a few steps in, a smidge farther from the door. 

I understand wanting to be near a door when your stop is coming up but half those people aren't even doing that!

Elevator etiquette

Stupid neighbour on my floor was coming out while I was waiting for the elevator along with another lady. The elevator came and I held the door for about 30 

This is why I've always said people who wear socks with Toms are the worst

Letting your kids stand all over the subway seats and using it as a jungle gym

Dude, some of us sit in those seats and your dirty ass shoes are going to make my butt dirty. 

Smoking right beside the no smoking sign

When idiots think other people can be willfully made to no longer be solid objects if they just shove into them hard enough

Not to be confused with the slow walkers who take up all the space so you can't walk around them, this breed of person thinks, somehow, if they push and shove and sidle up close enough to you, they will be able to walk right through you.

Best examples of this tomfoolery is when the bus comes and you're using common courtesy by letting those who were lined up ahead of you go in first (instead of pushing your way through like these idiots), or when you're pulling into a stop on a streetcar/bus/subway and it is literally packed so there's nowhere for you to go but somehow this idiot thinks that shoving you gets them closer to the exit, or those idiots that don't wait until people have exited the subway before walking pretty much through someone as if the properties that make the other party a solid object no longer exist.

Relevant post: this dumb bitch pushed and walked into me as if i wasn't there to sit on the ledge i was inches from

Sitting in the priority seats, taking up two seats AND blissfully ignoring everyone standing by wearing sunglasses

There's a reason those seats are blue. And you should have your eyes open to make sure disabled, seniors or pregnant women can take the seat you're in. Or at THE VERY LEAST not hog both seats so the disabled, senior or pregnant lady can take A seat, if not yours. 

Slow people unaware of other people around them who may be rushing

And slowly walking in front of that person. Slowly going up the escalator in the middle or when they could stand on the right.

Fuck you slow turds!

People who hover over empty seats but also don't move over so others can sit in it

Especially annoying when it's one of those coveted single seats.

People who have rolley luggage type bags are the worst

Look if you're going to the airport or whatever, fine, push it around. 

But now it's like people like to put down their rolley luggage (often backpacks or briefcases) and pull out the handle right in the midst of an oncoming crowd. Instead of carrying it like a normal person with hands and doing it on the side without a crowd of people behind you. 

They also walk so damn slow and you can't easily get around it because of the luggage they are trailing behind them 2 feet behind and to the side. 

Sitting like this

Really??!!!!

People who seem to want to trip people with their baby strollers

This is what I will never understand with stupid people. 

- the subway doors open (especially at a high traffic hub like Union, Bloor, etc) and they park their stroller literally smack in the middle of the doors. Besides it being stupid as hell, logics of moving masses and all, aren't they scared someone will trip and fall on their kid?? Ridiculous. 

- running people over with the stroller. I cannot count the many times I have been run over by a stroller at the mall because people don't pay attention to how big their stroller is. It is ridiculous. 

Taking up four seats. Just because.

He would not, at all, acknowledge the fact people want to sit down

Mind you, this is rush hour in the morning and he just kept his bag there the entire time. While dressed like he was in the arctic at that moment.

Things I don't understand about how Google hires

As a person who has worked in the online media industry, in digital advertising specifically, who even has experience working at a multinational tech company, I just don't understand how they hire over at Google. Which makes me think I may as well give up the dream of working there because I have too much relevant experience for them.

In my experience of interviewing with Google, I ended up not past the last stage after the 4 x 45 min interviews. And I don't understand it and from the pattern I've seen of people getting hired, it makes no sense to me. Especially because where I failed seems to be more about "what you theoretically would do" vs "what I can do and have done".

I also don't understand why they keep hiring people who have no relevant experience instead of people who have the experience and don't need much training to get started.

Here's a sample of people who they have hired:

- Business analyst at IBM
- Sales at some investment banking company
- Consultant at some big name consulting company (consulting on something unrelated to digital or advertising)
- Random jobs at an Oil and Energy firm
- Analyst at Deloitte
- Buyer at retail companies
- Graphic designer (freelance) and some made up sounding title of Director of a company no one has heard of and has 7 employees TOTAL listed on LinkedIn (and on a factory street)
- Consultant for a pharmaceutical company
- Print rep who never had experience in digital

Basically, if you align too well with the position, you're screwed.

So maybe I need to get a job as an analyst at a pharmaceutical company first before trying to get into Google.
