To be annoyed with this couple

[Ponderingonaquandry]

Hope I don't out myself here, going to have to be vague!

I know (I won't say friends as that's over egging it a bit) a couple who have a young, school age, family. Neither parent works, fine, job market is utterly shit at the moment so totally understandable. Both are complaining they are broke and will be more so when the benefit reforms come in and how unfair it is on them. So my dp comes up with a good solution to solve their problems and his workload, he offers the dad a job, reasonable pay, not great, but a foot on the ladder, and helps both parties out. So we were a bit shocked when the dad turns it down saying he's needed at home 'in case of an emergency'. My jaw hit the floor.

Neither parent has a disability nor do the children.

Thankfully my brother had a friend in a similar situation who snapped the job up so dp's stress levels are alleviated a bit, but still. Not the point.

AIBU to be annoyed with them over this?

country you know how this works. you have to report the post or HQ dont know it exists. if it bothers you, report it.

Haven't you read the Talk Guidelines? No personal attacks.

earlier I try not to aim things at specific cunts.

I like my explanation better

specific cunts are the worst kind

especially specific cliques of groupie cunts Booyhoo. They are the absolute worst kind.

Could be worse you could be taking a punt at a random cunt

Cunt punting. The new sport.

I don't blame you OP, you're not obliged to listen to people's moaning.

or aiming cunts at specific things. that can be dangerous.

"Cunt punting. The new sport."

Hahaha!

Anyway, seriously, I think you are right to just avoid them. No point spending time with people who you don't get on with.

Fire in the hole!

So someone reported it? MoGs I presume. Oh you sensitive little thing you! Happy to dish it but can't take it?

Why would you assume it was Murder? (I didn't report it before you jump down my throat).

You didn't read my post where I said I'd never seen it then? I know it's just a little thing, but reading the thread can really help you to not look a bit daft.

Booyoo - I am fascinated, and really intrigued as to why you see 1 x 10 year old child as a reason not to work for 11 years

Why on earth would one child render both parents unable to work?

Please enlighten me.

spam re read my post.

just

I have started a thread in chat to show off the wonderousness that is The Mug.

oh and i havent reported anything either.

I got it, Booyhoo.

Right, I'm off to do something else for a bit, country try not to post anything delete worthy. And if you do, rest assured I'm not reporting it, even if I was around to see it.

Personally I find it highly amusing that I could have got under anyone's skin quite so much.

Unforeseen/unseen

I see it as one in the same. . .depending on the circumstances

Spam - if that's the case, I would respectfully suggest you visit a dictionary sometime soon.

erm, but it's not the same. the dictionary says so.

an unseen disability is one that exists but that you can't see

an unforseen disability is one that will occur in the future but that nobody knows is going to occur.

I am NOT a benefit basher by any stretch of the imagination...I've used services when I've needed them.

And he may, or one of the family may, very well have an unseen disability.

If he doesn't, you are right to be annoyed. But I was raised to believe that (especially when you have children), you take any job going. Even if it's crap. You just make the best of it and keep looking for something better.

that's the whole point though cheerful, OP doesn't know what their personal situation is. so why get annoyed when you dont know the background?
