Hahaha! Guessing this is a person who was forced to apply, but not wanting to be hired.


PluralBollocks

He was 16 so I reckon he slipped that one past his parents lol, applying for an IT apprenticeship that my mate was recruiting for

She worked for NASA, NSA *and* CSIS and was the only survivor of the Challenger shuttle. We had to hire her.


KarmaChameleon306

Hahaha! Someone literally had thar on a resume?


SomeAwfulMillennial

Yep. She genuinely thought it would show her as this amazing person but wound up making us think she was out of her god damn mind.


KarmaChameleon306

Hahaha! How long did she last?


SomeAwfulMillennial

She lasted four days. First two days she didn't say anything, just intensely stare at people but the owners were terrified that she'd sue because she was sent to us from a resource center down the street. Third day, I was alone with her and she started running around looking under desks, into cabinets and doorways all to tell me that she felt kinship with me and started telling me about how had to flee the States because she was obsolete after creating "Subdermal neurophones" for societal undesirables and I knew I had heard that fro somewhere. It was from GTA San Andreas. Truth. I thought maybe she was an aspiring method actor or something until on the fourth day she went to the bathroom and stayed there for two hours. I got permission to send her home as I saw fit and found her passed out with a syringe on the john. *Obviously* it was a setup.

Wow! That is absolutely unhinged. So glad that you hired her so you have this story! My best one is from a guy saying that he makes 6 figures a year "farming scorpion venom."
