What is the deal with fucking "references"?
No word in the English language makes me REEE harder than "references."
Today I filled out an application for a job sorting mail paying $8 hr. Guess how many references it needed? FUCKING FOUR!
WHAT THE MOTHER FUCKING FUCK DO THEY NEED TO ASK FOUR FUCKING PEOPLE ABOUT? I DON'T EVEN HAVE FOUR FRIENDS LET ALONE FOUR MOTHERFUCKING WORK CONNRCTIONS!!!
I swear they want to make it as difficult as possible for us NEETs to get jobs.
I can fill out an application, I can even nail an interview, but I always get fucked over by these goddamn motherfucking "references."
I literally had one bitch turn my down for a job that said I was well qualified (who fucking isn't for a low paying job), but my "references" were underwhelming. What the fuck bitch? "Underwhelming"?
I'm fucking done with this stupid ass shit. Getting a job is all about lying in interviews anyway. Is there someplace online I can pay somebody to be a reference? Literally just answer a phone and say "Yep, Anon worked for me and is competent, now fuck off and stop wasting my time."
REEEEEEEE!!!
Just make up references. Find some business that's closed up and say you worked there or something

Just bullshit them. Rarely do they call references anyway. I listed two random classmates from high school whose numbers I found in an old nokia from 2006, a bro from 2nd grade, and just for keks an old coworker's brother who lives out of state I met literally once at a Christmas party. Either they all gave me a glowing review or the shitty entry-level job I now work at never called them to begin with

I laughed harder at this than I should have, thanks for the keks wagie

But you have to put a supervisor name and phone number?
I literally just put down four professors whose classes I took.

Trust me, I'd be laughing too. It's absurd.
I'm only 20 years old. They're essentially saying they want an average of 1 reference for every 5 years of my life. For fucks sake.
Should I go ahead and put my mom down? Have her say I'd fit in great in corporate cause I really know how to suck a teat? Would that make them happy?

I wish I had the balls for this. I'd be afraid of some awkward confrontation.
>So anon, we called your references and...
>GET OUT! IF YOU COME HERE AGAIN WE WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED!
>s...s...sorry
