"But the store down the street is hiring"

"Ew! That store is too fat and gross. I shouldn't have to lower my standards. Only you should!"

when i switched from FJ to reddit I was surprised people made fun of the friendzone.

metallicajunkye ยท 24 points ยท Posted at 20:52:14 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

I switched over and kinda had that realization of "Wow, I'm a massive twat. I should stop."

Sorry this reply is so late, but do people still use funnyjunk? I am starting to also notice this connection of FJ and nice guy crap (including myself) but I thought that FJ had died out years before Reddit was a thing

I worked at a place in a part-time casual job, and every time a full time job came up, I applied for it but didn't get it. Every time I'd get a little more bitter, especially when I watched people get the job, work there for 6 months, a year, maybe more, then leave.

Eventually I just gave up and moved on. But I was definitely "casual-zoned" by that job for years.

Sometimes you hit all the right cues, but it just doesn't work. Adults who don't act like entitled children understand that and are happier for it.

I liked the job, but I just needed more hours/steady work. And they kept telling me I was a good worker and to keep applying.

Slutty job just kept leading me on.

BaadKitteh ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:59:21 on September 9, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

Believe me I have been there; hell, technically I'm there now. In Texas, people can keep you on as a temp indefinitely. I work full time and have been for over a year and will for the foreseeable future, but I'm still a "temp". I like my co-workers and I don't have to dress up for work, so I'm staying. I will never work for another cubicle farm that makes me wear business casual; fuck that shit.

BuzzMgee ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 21:05:20 on September 7, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

I had a similar thing, I was hired on for a trial period of a full time job, it quickly became clear that I had gotten the job. After about a year I came to my desk and found a bunch of new personal items there. Apparently I had been splitting the work hours with someone who got hired on to replace me.

jerec84 ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 06:57:01 on September 8, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

Wow, slut job was cheating on you. I bet the other person didn't respect the job like you did.

BuzzMgee ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:37:18 on September 8, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

Eh, I'm not sure the job deserved respect. So the other person can respect it all they want, or not.

[deleted] ยท 116 points ยท Posted at 00:41:23 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

This is a response to a well-known copypasta story that Nice Guys circulate, that goes something like, "Sorry, even though you are exactly what we're looking for in an employee, we don't want to hire you for this job. But, would you still let us call you every day and complain to you about the guy we do hire?"

...an analogy about Friendzoned guys whose female friends complain to them about her asshole boyfriend.

That doesn't answer my question at all.

This actually DOES happen to some dudes out there though.

AssCrackBanditHunter ยท 58 points ยท Posted at 14:13:42 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

Well yeah, people vent to friends. I vent to my friends. If these guys aren't exaggerating (which they probably are) then they should probably stop being so chicken shit and say something like "hey, you vent about your problems a little too often. I feel like that's all we talk about."

If youre not willing to communicate your needs with friends, you'll never be able to do it with a girlfriend.

Reddit_is_my_Home ยท -40 points ยท Posted at 13:06:15 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

I've definitely seen examples of a chick saying things to a guy like, "I wish I had a bf who was just like you". and I've also seen them complain about their bf to guys that like them before. Sometimes even if the "friendzoned" dude has already expressed his feelings. I count situations like THAT as inconsiderate on the woman's part tbh.

Bytemite ยท 41 points ยท Posted at 15:38:55 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

Can't handle the heat, then get out of the fire.

If they think you're still a friend, they're going to talk to you about things friends talk about and which already has precedence as a topic of conversation, and that includes their romantic relationships. If that's unacceptable or seems inconsiderate, you probably shouldn't stay friends with that person. Might hurt you both to cut that contact, but it's better in the long run because then you can both find people who meet your needs.

BaadKitteh ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 18:01:49 on September 9, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

No. Once it has been established that the person does not reciprocate interest they have no reason to tiptoe around your feelings. If you can't handle being someone's friend after they've refused to date you, you should just move on at that point. Continuing to hang around hoping they'll change their mind indicates you want to be a friend, and you're going to get treated like one.

They mean applying the same logic to situations other than relationships.

I've been a frequent shopper, almost daily and you won't even give me more discount than the other customers?

What a load of bull, I'm boycotting this store. You'll miss me. Bitch.

... How should I feel that I once got a job almost exactly like that, by walking inside and ordering two hot-dogs ?

Granted, been a regular there for a few years and got along well with the staff, but still surprised by the offer.

[deleted] ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 15:41:29 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

That's pretty much how my old job at a coffee shop hired. Talked to regulars we liked and offered them jobs. It was a good time.

The_Unknown_Dude ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:48:09 on September 6, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

That's actually an interesting idea in some ways... o_O

Got mine because I talked about my job to the boss regularly, not as complaining or bragging, just told him I had a part-time job that's very physically demanding, and that I wasn't going back to college that semester. He told me half his staff was going back to school, and he needed someone to back-up some times, as he was closing for winter. I happened to live close, so I didn't mind, 6 weeks while my other job had no contracts for me that season.
