YSaC, Vol. 373: The unemployment situation explained.
Naomi sends the following gem, asking “Is it possible that someone actually spells this badly?”
Yes. Yes it is.
i rilly nead a jeoarb
i rilly neeeed a jorb, any kind of jeaeb. i’m not to experianced but i can do alot. i could work at mcdonalds, clean toilets, build stuff,paint stuff, n e thing realy but plz i just despritly nead a jeorab. hit me back kthx
“And Yeah Verily, Did Jeaeb say unto Jeorab, and did Jeorab say unto Jorb, Go Forth, and do all manner of things! Clean thy toilets! Paint thy stuff, and build it also! And did Jorb say unto Jeorab, and did Jeorab say unto Jeaeb, Yea, for I canst doth do alot despite my lack of experience, grammatical skills, or basic familiarity with the English language. And didst Jaaeb say unto Jeorab, who spake unto Jorb: ‘Kthx'”
Seriously, I think this person has been watching a bit too much Strongbad.
This hurts my face.
I’m just praying to any god that will listen that this is someone’s idea of a joke. I can’t even fathom in which uneducated, illiterate brain “jeoarb” sounds like “job.”
Dude can’t spell job, but can spell McDonald’s? What a sad, sad world we live in…
The misspellings of “job” are obviously intentional. What I can’t figure out is why someone–even a teenager–would expect to be hired like this.
So, would it be too obvious if I say I hope this dude finds a”good jorb”?
I like how he is asking for a job at McDonalds by putting an ad on Craigslist rather than, say, going to McDonalds and filling out an application.
exactly! can this person spell “unmotivated” ??
Ekscooze mi, I tereyed to doo thehat – but win I axed fir a forearm, dey sid der wiz no sich thang
Four different spellings of job and none of them correct. I get the feeling this “jeoarb” seeker is still living with the parents and they threatened to kick him out if he didn’t seriously start looking for a “jorb.” So he put up this ad so he could prove he was looking for a “jeaeb” and that he was willing to take any “jeorab.”
The only thing I would hire this guy for would be a Scared Smart program.
Thanks for making my brain bleed, Dan.
The scenario my money is on: someone whose online time is spent almost exclusively in chat, text, twitter and similar environments posted that under the influence of pot and/or beer. That person also spends much of their waking life under the influence.
It could still be an insincere attempt at getting a jeorb, but it reeks of posting while stoned. Otherwise he’d probably have the correct phonetic spelling for the type of ghetto job he’s seeking, biotches.
kthx- has always secured me employment. I bet he’ll totally be able to screw up my drive through order! Hire him!!
Nothing says “Would make an excellent employee” like closing your cover letter with “hit me back kthx.”
He gets “build” right on the first try but he’s 0 for 4 on “job.”…..*sigh*
I’m so glad I left teaching.
I was so pleased that someone else other than me spotted Coach Z must be moonlighting! I thought of him as soon as I saw “jeoarb”.
Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of, too. I was happy to see the Strongbad link.
I’m still trying to figure which area of the country pronounces job with an r sound.
I got nothing. Rilly.
Hamstray really needs to learn to spell.
It’s a reference to the South Park episode in which immigrants from the future come back in time and take all the jobs. Catch phrase: “They took our jearbs!” The word “job” gets more distorted every time it’s spoken, pointing out how heated arguments on issues like immigration frequently devolve into gibberish.
Now, why that would make me want to hire this person, I have no idea.
Oh crap, cleasel… I seriously thought about the goobacks when I saw this post, but then thought the Homestar Runner theory was more plausible.
Particularly because, when I thought about it, the folks in South Park said, “They tk arrrrr jihbs!!!” But still, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought of it. 🙂
My “What?” comment was in reply to Tim, and still stands.
“Hit me back”? What, I’m gonna hire a wannabe gangsta?
What?
This must be a joke. Right? Please?
If you think of it,if the person had spelled all of the words right none of you would of paid attention. He is a jeanus in descuise. Ha Ha
I want to be charitable and suggest that this poor soul is a recent immigrant and has been forced to learn chatspeak as a second language.
I’m betting this has something to do with that homestarrunner flash where Coach Z couldn’t say “job.”
“Say ‘job.'”
“Jorb.”
“No, job.”
“Jeerb.”
“JOB.”
“Jerab.”
“SAY JOB!”
“Jeorib.”
Possibly. That’s why there’s a link to said flash in the post. 🙂
haha i thought of that right away too
Listing was obviously submitted by a LOLcat…
Great jeoooooorb!
This has to be a joke.
Please.
Has to be. There’s no way a person like this would be able to turn a doorknob, let alone figure out how to post anything on cl. Right?
I am so afraid now.
THEY TERRRRRK YERRRRRRR JERRRRB!
Or they could move to Alberta. This person’s a freakin’ genius compared to the “talent” that moved here over the last seven years.
You’ve got that right! This one could have been written by a person I’m familiar with who works at a fast food drive-through in Calgary. This particular guy can not only barely speak english, but cannot get your order right, even after two or three corrections. Seems like everyone else at this place speaks english quite well but they put this “genius” on the drive-through???
I don’t laugh at people that need jobs.
No, we’re not laughing at him because he needs a job. We’re laughing at him because he’s poor.
The boys in my grade in my high school were constantly quoting that Homestar short for a while, people were watching it on the school computers. So that is what I thought of when I saw it, but then watched the short again anyways!
I dated a guy who spelled this badly. Note the past tense.
ow, my stomach!
Come on, NOBODY else heard Kristin Wiig’s “Target lady” character in their head while reading this??
who else heard the rednecks from South Park scream “they took ur ‘jeoarb’!!!!!!!!!!” when you saw that?
