I was recently a shown a CV by a friend who was recruiting for an office manager to look after a team of 10 credit controllers, so a fairly demanding position.
It was from a "full-time mummy" (this was actually listed as her current position on her CV) who suggested that her Facebook page administrator experience made her the perfect candidate for the role....

Priceless. Fair play to her for having a go, but I fear a hefty reality check beckons.......
I'm part of a Facebook group for residents in our apartment complex. Most of the posts, in order of popularity, are:
1. "If this is your car parked in my space, please could you move it asap." (Usually visitors whose mates have let them into the (gated) carpark and just parked anywhere they want - t
ts)
2. "I had a package delivered with Hermes, but I've not received it even though it says it's been signed for? Has anyone got it?" (Why people don't get stuff delivered to work or a click-and-collect, I'll never know. Delivery drivers round here don't give a crap.)
3. "My toilet seat/shower head/lightbulb is broken. Does anyone know the exact model?" (The most useful part of this group.)

I'd normally agree with this but after what happened to one of our health and safety advisors due for retirement soon, I'd think twice. He got a parcel delivered to work. It came into goods in with no name, just the address. When they opened the box to see what it was and who it was for, it had a compliments slip addressed to him. It was a box of, er, rings that one might place on a certain male body part. 2. "I had a package delivered with Hermes, but I've not received it even though it says it's been signed for?

The warehouse lads were very discreet about it. I think about 649 of the 650 employees in the UK are aware of it. I think he's the only one who doesn't know everyone else does.

our local facebook page has a few "found a rabbit" posts.

"Driving through today and found a snake in the road. So got out pick it up. The wife wouldn't let back in the car with it. So I walk up the road a bit and a very nice couple gave my a pillow case for it(thanks again) I took it to the vets to be told it's a wild snake (adder) and to go put it back were I found it."

Well that shed a little light on what's going on there, although the film thing was pretty obvious. There's regularly something being filmed along that road at various spots.There is a UK Fire Engine in the flim at least once. I've seen what is clearly a hired prop vehicle heading in three mornings over the last 3 weeks.

Ours regularly has posts about a stray alpaca being sighted at the roadside (often with photos). Responses vary from "it belongs to xyz, she knows he's out, he usually comes back eventually", or "he's free range", to "that's not an alpaca, it's a llama".there has been 3 this week, just waiting for the local wildlife to turn up as a lost pet.
Page admin is the local county councillor (lib dem). It's supposed to be a community info/announcements page, but every now and then he starts getting political, often about Brexit. Usually ends up with him banning someone that differs in opinion.
This moment of utter bell endery appeared yesterday. It lasted all of about 4 minutes. I screen shot it through tears of laughter to send to my lad. Seems only fitting to share it here.

Brilliantly, someone put up a photo of a badly parked car on the "other" local group a couple of days ago, with the numberplate obscured but obviously it was parked such to take up two spaces, in a bay that didn't have defined spaces but it was parked at an angle so took up both bits. I discovered it was a girl who used to work at our office's car after I commented with a factual-based reply to someone else saying "There aren't any lines, so whilst it is clearly inconsiderate parking, it isn't actually contravening any traffic rules" or words to that effect. My former colleague jumped on having a go at me (and everyone else) and really shot herself down in flames about how everyone is too nosy and rude etc etc. Things decended, and then the post got removed

Sometimes I really do miss living in Stoke for the entertainment value....
Tell me about it. I'm out of the area now enough that I don't need to add the Stoke bit but bloody hell its embarrassing. The Joris bloke was just pure comedy. I joined most of the local town FB groups for the comedy value though. They rarely disappoint.Spare tyre said:

He posted his car on FB to his cover photo. An image viewable to anyone who looked.He then crashed his car and someone locally posted a picture of the this car on the local group, including reg.
Car gets cloned.
He goes nuts at local FB saying it's whoever posted the picture of his crashed car thats caused it to be cloned.
It's pointed out HE posted pic of car months before.
Thread deleted.
