"Why don't you call them and ask if they're hiring?"
Hasn't been on a job hunt since 1982.
This one really burns me up. When I was out of work my dad was always saying things like, "You don't look like you're looking for a job. You look like you're lying around the house on your laptop all day."
Well dad, you know, I'm saving my gas money since everything is online now and I don't feel like driving all the way back to a time when things still happened that way. Never mind that I was on job search websites every time he asked.
The best description I've heard about the baby boomer generation and their effect on the economy is that they built a system based on social and economic welfare, climbed the ladder to the top of it and then kicked the ladder away to make sure no one could climb after them. Now they stand at the top, kicking away other ladders and calling everyone below them lazy.

The one that always gets me (which one of these touched on):
"My first job when I was a teenager only paid $2 an hour! First jobs aren't supposed to pay a lot of money!"
"That was in 1965. Adjusted for inflation, that's $16/hr today!"
Basically, wages have gone down and the cost of everything has gone up astronomically.
