One of my best friends is a hiring manager in Manhattan and she is always telling me about recruits and employees with helicopter parents.

she tells them straight up, if your mom EVER contacts me, you will never be hired.

There is an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond (yes, that's a whole different personal issue for me) where Brad Garrett has a really big interview - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:51 [youtube] 36
- it saddens me that people remember the plots of everybody loves raymond episodes. -- nm - mafic Aug 22, 21:04
- what, no segments you could pull from According to Jim to support your point? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 20:56 29
  - *sob* You mock my tv pain! nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:58 27
    - are you also forced to watch BBT? -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:02 26
      - When I catch tv, it tends to be Cartoon Network stuff (that is so seriously weird shit btw), but yeah, Mr Wigs watches it. - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:05 25
        
        I'm so sorry. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:11 24
        
        I don't get your hatey for BBT. It's refreshing to have a comedy that has jokes that require education and/or intelligence to get and enjoy. - zork Aug 22, 21:30 10
        
        Ooh! Ooh! Ask her what she thinks of Notting Hill next!! - kelly Aug 22, 21:34
        
        the one dimensional nerd stereotypes kill the whole thing for me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 8
        
        I don't find them one-dimensional. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:33 3
        
        I was forced to watch way too many episodes, and to me they were extremely one dimensional. - loosilu Aug 22, 21:36 2
        
        A lot of nerds love it. *shrug* -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:39 1
        
        I'm a nerd and I love it. What other show would have someone dress up for Hallowe'en as the Doppler Effect? -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:43
        
        and if that's what passes for intelligent TV, you need to get out more. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:32 3
        
        *ding* It makes 2 1/2 Men seem intelligent. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 21:44 2
        
        seriously? 90 percent of jokes on 2.5 are about booze, sperm, or boobs. BBT has jokes involving science, comics, history, etc. -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:47 1
        
        just because it's better than 2.5 men doesn't mean it is any good at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:52
        
        Better than 2 1/2 Men, which is also on Foxtel about 14 times a day. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:12 12
        
        Colonel Mustard loved that show! he is about to be promoted to General. I suppose I should find a new name for him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:24 10
        
        General Quarters, General Lee-Speaking, General Lee-Negative -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:40
        
        General Chaos? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:27 8
        
        General Knowledge? General Anesthesia? - loosilu Aug 22, 21:29 5
        
        Hmmm...does the second fit his personality? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:30 4
        
        no. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 3
        
        General Service? -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:35 2
        
        *shakes head* -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:37 1
        
        I'm running out. And can't remember if there are any generals in Catch 22. -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:40
        
        There is a clothing retailer here called "General Pants" nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 21:28 1
        
        it's not the first thing I think of, with him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:29
        
        it's on the poverty channels just as much. there's no escaping it. -- nm - mafic Aug 22, 21:15
  - bery's link filter/blocker is still in place. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:56
- That was a good one. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:54 3
  - I give him credit--Garrett really knows how to sell that character. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 22, 20:54 2
    - that is literally the longest segment I have ever watched from that show. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 20:55
    - He and Boyle were the only reason I gave the show a chance. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 20:55
- off to watch this! my friend M has also had parents make the phone call when employees are sick. - loosilu Aug 22, 20:53
