A commuter who launched a foul-mouthed tirade at a fellow passenger he bumped into on a crowded train faced him again just hours later – at a job interview.
The man told his future interviewer to “go f*** yourself” as they both got off a train at Monument station during rush hour on Monday morning.
Later that day, they were reunited but in a much more formal setting, with HR executive Matt Buckland interviewing the angry commuter he had met on the District line that morning.
"At Monument station, I stood to one side to let someone else off the train first and I think he thought I was just standing in his way,” Mr Buckland, head of recruitment for investment firm Forward Partners, told BuzzFeed.
"He pushed and I turned, I explained I was getting off too but he pushed past and then looked back and suggested I might like to f*** myself."
During the interview, Mr Buckland said that the job seeker did not recognise him, but a few questions about how his jouney to work had been that morning jolted his memory.
“I asked him how he got to the interview, how was his morning commute," he said. "We were on the train in the morning but the interview was at 5.30pm that evening.”
Mr Buckland explained that the man, who had applied for a web development role at his company, was not offered the job, adding that this was nothing to do with the incident that morning.
“It would be easy to hold something like this over someone in an interview, but for me interviews aren’t about that," he said.
"When you interview you are looking for a read of skills but also to know if that person is a real human being, it’s about that connection.
"By the end of the interview we laughed it off and were both happy.”culled
Flimsy reason he wasnt offered the job,Maybe the Morning episode was the reason.This is a lesson though!
Bvs take note!

ReplyDeleteIt makes no difference. D job was never meant to be his.
ReplyDeleteWhat is yours comes without a struggle.

DeleteSo he should offer him the job even when he's not qualified Stella? Please some people don't hold such trivial things to heart. But then there is a lesson to be learnt. All those who come here acting like kids,throwing insults at people you don't know not knowing if they are going to be a source of help to you.
You come here and rant about how life is hard for you and still insult people you haven't met or seen. You don't even know who they are in real life. When help doesn't come to you you then wonder why.
U this sharp mouth, u won't learn now, be der running ya mouth like tap. Oshisco!
DeleteQutie will they ever listen?
DeleteCussing out their employees,their neighbours,even relatives unknowingly..
I came on this blog and got the shock of my life,people are indeed mean and frustrated..i have read cuss words I never knew existed online.. what can I say?
Decorum,poise and good manners matter a great deal. Should I blame the parents? Or environment? Or condition?
Oh well,let's train our kids better!
What's urs will come without a struggle? I'm sorry I don't quite agree with that. It's same as saying what will be will be.. Which is one of d biggest lies d human race has bn told. What will be will not be if u don't make it be. Food for thought: God didn't create anybody to be a failure but many people fail Bcos they are lazy! Although they were destined to do great, they didn't work, struggle for it. Life is a fight!
DeleteSpot on Quite. They cuss out peeps and later be asking for help. Where is the person that gave so much recharge cards before he went silent.
DeleteIphie,hahaha.
DeleteThey need to shock da feck outta some cool souls here, meeeeeeeeeeeen.

DeleteFunny thing is you'll never know who is deserving of favours on blogs. As some people perpetrate their uncouth shenanigans under the anonymous mode. How would u know if u were to help such? It's on social medias like fbk or twitter, where people are likely to use their real names and pics, is where u can pin point the rude and arrogant. Bottom line, anonymous or not, we should try to restrain ourselves. Everyone is guilty of it.
DeleteLol @ laffed it off! Oga HR u never talk true! Its a small world afterall.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that rude girl that announced on twitter she needed a job desperately. Someone asked her a simple question about what she was bringing to the table and she gave a rude answer about not needing tips, not knowing that the person asking the question was actually interviewing her.
ReplyDeleteShe was lucky though as the interviewer gave her a second chance.
Watch your tongue.
Watch yours too.

ReplyDeletei thank God i did not cause accident on the road because me self don ready for the person wey dey follow me run ooo.
so it is not good to curse quick ooo. dont be a tap water running without control.
Oh God!!! I kinda feel for the man seeking for a job,maybe he lashed at his future interviewer because of his joblessness,but then,mind the way you talk to people, don't use fowl language.Weigh Your Words.
ReplyDeleteHis interviewer is even lenient. If it were 2 be one of these our Nigerian employers, dt's entering once chance, automatically. That's Y d wise men usu say that "be kind 2 d pple u meet on ur way up, coz u might meet them on ur way down"

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the reasons we should all try maintain a positive attitude always!
ReplyDeleteThis should be a lesson to some blog visitors here...
ReplyDeleteMake una no dey follow me curse ehhhhee cos I gat nothing to lose...
Make una leave the cusses for people like us...
Hahhaahahaahaahhahaaa..

Abeggie! The morning event was the underlying reason he didn't get the role. Almost the same thing happened at my work place last year. I took a call from a lady who was due for an 11am interview with us. Not realising who she was speaking to, she first off, asked for directions which I gave her. Maybe, she was frustrated about something that day but my good Lord, I have never spoken to anyone as rude as her before. She was catty, bitchy and even told me "with all due respect, I don't think it's your place to ask what role I'm being interviewed for'. She probably thought I was the receptionist. Long story short, when she went off the phone, I discussed it with the recruitment manager, made a note of her name and after the group discussions, was the one to one interview where I introduced myself and told her I spoke to her earlier. Needless to say, she was stuttering throughout the interview very nervous and ended up with no employment letter!!.....
ReplyDeleteServes her right! Uncouth youngens without proper home training, be walking around with dr loose tongues! If dr parents fail 2 gv them d sound moral upbringing dt they need, outsiders will teach them by force by fire. Namsense!

ReplyDeleteI have a story to share,tho after typing the 1st one I lost it,I was working in one of this transport coy,as their manager bam I was served with a sack letter, why? Because I'm too playful with drivers and staff which will stop me from doing my work,I was devastated as I had no other job waiting, went home and stayed for 3mths, one day a call enters my phone, he said I heard they sacked you cos of your playful nature,I never even knew the man cos I met so many passengers, he said I will help, on mon go to exxon mobil,meet so so person then submit your cv,I laughed cos someone I never knew want to give me a oil coy job just like that? Lols, i was encouraged by my fam to give it a try,went there met the person submitted my cv then 3weeks later I'm a staff in mobil, my smile fetched me that job, it a dream I never dreamt of, a stranger love my smiles even when he never talk to me, he love the way I treated all equal,be good where ever you are, a man that has even refused a thank you wine talkless of asking for sex, be nice where ever you are.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!...
DeleteAwww lovely

ReplyDeleteExample of serious Gobe!
ReplyDeleteWe never can tell who is who out there o, so politeness shld always be our watch word...am saying this directly to mE
Awwww!Impatience robbed him of that chance.
ReplyDeleteStarting today I will try and refrain my tongue from the use of insultive words.
Lesson learnt.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of an incident that happened yesterday..so I took a bike yesterday evening into my street.on our way,the bike man accidentally pressed the heels of his slipers to my feet twice while riding.when it happened the third time I said to him "oga you dey march me take am easy"
ReplyDeleteRather than apologise,he said to me"how I take march you?"
Then he went on to say I should mind the way I talk to him,that he is way older than me,so I asked him if that gave him the License to step on me @ will...I decided to keep quiet about it,cos I wouldn't want to be in a heated argument with an okada rider.
So on our way,he had to pass one estate as a short route..unfortunately the gate at the other end was closed,so I had to get down from the bike so he could push his bike through the small gate to the other side..
I helped him push the bike through,and the bike man thanked me...dropping me off at home,he said to me "you be good person oo,upon say wetin I do to you,you still help me push my bike.no be everybody go do am,thank you" I said to him"no wahala" he then zoomed off,I smiled..
I get this huge satisfaction from exhibiting a lil kindness...

ReplyDeleteVery small world indeed.I think that judging from the commuter's attitude,he painted a picture of a very rude and controversial person.Unknowingly,he just disqualified himself.u know,some bad peeps have a way of exposing themselves no matter what.
ReplyDeleteIf only people could learn the art of politeness, so many people wouldn't be in the miserable situations they find themselves in.
ReplyDeleteMay God help us briddle our tongues.
Hahahaha,that's actually my fave insult to pple,go f**k ursf! Oh well I go try learn to stop am sha
ReplyDeleteMost mornings when I pray I plead God to help me show kindness and be patient with everyone I come across.
ReplyDeletePeeps should learn to say sorry when you offend somebody. Many are in single and mingle posts but your attitude reeks of pride and arrogance. Some are carried away with their beauty and achievements and cannot apologize. This attitude can push a prospective suitor away
ReplyDeleteEka Joy conveniently didn't read this story. She needs this lesson badly!
