I once had a business owner interview me and conclude that he wanted to hire me because he felt that I was a good thinker, someone who was, "real meticulate".

I told the boss that actually that is spelled meticulous. They said that he was pretty sure that it was spelled meticulate. I got the job offer, but I refuse the job. The thought of working as and inferior for somebody who would sucker down on the spelling "meticulate" was just way too much for me. What other harebrained bull** would they have me commit to?

Not sure why I bring that up here. It's a personal experience that makes me have no interest in this product whatsoever. Which is not rational. I guess I'm just a hater and I wanted to share this funny story while also maybe causing a loss of revenue to a random company I have nothing to do with.

Cheers!

It's ironic because you were the one harebraining over trivial bullshit.

We have millions of customers to serve and billions of dollars at stake, but you're going to nitpick over this guy's colloquial word misuse?

Come on.

If you have millions of customers and billions of dollars at stake, you better ensure that your CEO knows how to spell meticulous.

This person had so many red flags you could have called him Stalin. A bumpkin with missing teeth and a meth habit. I was applying as a mechanic in 2008. I didn't take the job because I didn't want to get f**ed around. So how about you give me a break? :wink:

Your attention to spelling further shows your meticulousness

I'm pretty sure it's actually hair brained

There's a Romanian joke about that:

De ce este fericit omul chel? Why is a bald man happy?

Pai, părul îi crește spre interior și îi gâdilă creierul! Well, his hair grows inwards and tickles his brain!

No, it's hare as in rabbit.

Woosh, probably :-)
