Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 3

People wishing happy birthday and posting a picture of their kid with a long winded message on facebook......for a 1 or 2 or 3 year old (etc). News flash, they don't have facebook and cant read it anyway - you are just doing it for likes and messages to make you feel good, nothing to do with your kid.

Agreed

Not as bad as the parents with kids with medical problems that feel the need to check in at the hospital constantly. I don’t understand those parents. Fair enough send a text to family/ friends to let them know what’s going on, but why publish on Facebook?

Speaking of the facebooky. an acquaintance purchased some clothes for my little one, and also my nephew. I thanked him greatly for it. He replied "(get them to) try it on and put it on facebook.

hmmm. no.

I think ive covered this one before - someone checks into hospital with either no reason or 'oh no' and then, waits for people to ask 'is everything alright' or 'whats wrong?' and never explains why they are there. they just want the attention and comments

Yeah I do that to people I was never really friends with but were facebook friends or people who annoy me (either attention seekers or post rubbish)

Maybe they didnt want everyone to know of their haemorrhoid outbreak, or that their stomach pains were actually an inflammation of an STD caught skanking out a couple months back.

Do you choose what sentence you want by walking on certain parts of the step?

Anyone can fail at a job for a wide variety of reasons; the wrong person might be picked in an interview, untruths on resumes, not fitting in at the place of work or faults on both the part of the employer or employee. Or a previously good employee may have personal issues outside of work impacting performance, had issues at work, or simply become jaded in their career over time.

But what of cases where an employee enters a profession where the entry level standards are extremely high, it is a hard profession to enter, the training is intense and it is made clear what the role entails, yet fails dismally from the outset? Jobs such as a police officer, paramedic, firefighter, pilot, flight attendant, nursing, medicine or armed services. In these cases the entry standards and training are intense, with a high attrition rate for those not making the grade. How do unsuitable people slip through the cracks into these professions and only when in the job is it discovered they aren't up to these roles?

So England might be fined for doing the Power Ranger stance while the ABs were doing the Haka.
Apparently it may have violated "cultural ritual protocol."
