		<description>Feng: then how are we to gently nudge the idiots out of jobs they shouldn&#039;t be holding?

The reason why that idiot was there today is because none of the previous applicants supplied the badly needed feedback.

After this, the twerp might either mend his ways, or quit -- both good outcomes from the standpoint of all future victims (and the company, most likely).</description>

		<description>Excellent response to a ridiculous interview question.

A couple of months ago I was interviewing for a 1 year contract position. Near the end of the interview I got this question: &quot;What do you see yourself doing in 5 years?&quot; I was stumped. We were talking about a 1 year contract. &quot;How the hell should I know?&quot; was the first thing that came into my mind, but I knew that wouldn&#039;t work. After I didn&#039;t get the position, I wish I had adopted your approach, at least to preserve what is left of my sanity.</description>

		<description>lol, while I agree with your reasoning, it&#039;s not so fair for the recruiter. These guys have difficult jobs man... HR recruitment is not such a breezy area perhaps unlike you... 

Give him  a break lol</description>

---
During a screening interview, I was asked how I would design a bike fit for someone visually impaired. I responded something to the effect of, &quot;What, like, for blind people?&quot;, and she answered yes. 

I thought for a moment and then I responded, &quot;Well.. a blind person riding a bike doesn&#039;t sound like a very safe idea, so I would make the bike stationary, maybe with a fan blowing in the person&#039;s face. He probably wouldn&#039;t even know the difference.&quot; 

She was speechless.

		<description>this is probably why I&#039;m so miserable as a public servant. 

KP: So why are we doing this

Other public servant: Because the executive director told me to

KP: but why, what does she/he want to achieve

OPS: Just do it.
As if channeling Nike was ever going to make the job more scintillating.</description>

		<description>I agree to Vlad... it&#039;s an example of &quot;golden rules&quot; lover. Lovers of rules that keep them away from actually understanding their jobs and business.

Your answer was a perfect one but I think it wasn&#039;t in the &quot;possible answers&quot; list. Haha!!</description>

		<description>Your answer was good.
It&#039;s totally pathetic when a person with no creativity of his own is trying to judge other people&#039;s creativity.</description>
