Karma: Londoner shoves man and tells him to F*** off
Quote:
Technically Incorrect: A Python developer gets on a London subway, shoves a man and tells him to "F*** off." Later that day, the developer gets a surprise, as the man is interviewing him for a job.
One man got on the subway train last Monday morning and wasn't in the mood for politeness or pleasantries. As another man stood in his way, he shoved him and, so that there was no doubt as to his intent, told him to "F*** off."
This is morning talk for "Oh, do please get out of the way."
Perhaps the curser thought nothing more of it. He went about his day. He even had a job interview later in the afternoon.
He walked in and, within seconds, began to curse himself. For his interviewer turned out to be the very man he'd cursed at on the subway. Being a Python developer, and therefore a man of some rational bent, he might have attempted to work out the chances of such a serendipitous event
The developer didn't get the job because he wasn't, according to Buckland, quite right for it.
That's why it's always smart to be nice to people. He might have gotten the job had he complimented the stranger. Jobs aren't about how good you are, they're about how well liked you are.
gotta love karma
i love when things like this happens
