What do you work as?

[kingdom hoop]

You're argument that a Repoman is somehow more "manly" then a student or a doctor or an IT consultant or a bus driver is pathetic tbh.

And what's your argument?

Smartasses are great, if they have an answer.

Is it because it has the word "man" in the job title??

Inadvertently I think you found the answer, but were probably revelling in your bravura too much to notice. The job of a repo-man is one thoroughly unsuitable to all but the most manly of women. For example, can you imagine some lass coming to the door of a burly lumberjack telling him she must take away his chainsaw cos he's defaulted on the hire purchase payments?

How could you think chasing random people, not knowing what could be in store, trying to prise their prized possessions off them, does not require brave and intimidating attributes usually the preserve of men?

It takes a special kind of scumbag to be a repoman IMO

I hope you open a business some day. You'll get great custom from me. No money, but your stock turnover figures will be best in class. WTF, if someone doesn't pay up after numerous warnings nothing should happen? Wonderful logic. Are prison guards 'a special kind of scumbag' for not releasing prisoners?

We should start a "Jobs I dont agree with" thread or a "I would rather gouge my eyes out with plastic spoons than work at that" thread.

And what's your argument?

That you can't judge someones "manliness" by someones profession

Smartasses are great, if they have an answer.

I'll take that as a compliment given my answer

Inadvertently I think you found the answer

Oh, it is because the word man is in the title??

Fair Enough.

Does that mean the ice cream man is more manly then a US Marine in you book??

but were probably revelling in your bravura too much to notice

Revelling in bravura??

WTF??

LMFAO

For example, can you imagine some lass coming to the door of a burly lumberjack telling him she must take away his chainsaw cos he's defaulted on the hire purchase payments?

Worst example ever

How could you think chasing random people, not knowing what could be in store

WOW, like a superhero

does not require brave and intimidating attributes usually the preserve of men?

So sexist, it's pathetic.

Nothing brave or intimidating (Jesus Wept btw) about any of the repo gangs I've come across

I hope you open a business some day.

Why thank you.

Not really in my life plan though

WTF, if someone doesn't pay up after numerous warnings nothing should happen?

Show me where I said repomen weren't necessary. It just takes a certain kind of character to want to do it.

Does that make them more "manly"

No, of course not

Wonderful logic.

Try reading next time

Absolute garbage comparison.

Congrats on a post of twaddle

Despite his being wrong I agree with you 100% on him being able to put himself across better

Anto the repo man, it has a surprisingly poetic ring to it

[soccerc]

Where are the real men?

That's great, glad to know my contribution as a carer* is deemed less than manly.



* FYI I don't get paid or any allowances for it, all for love

[Magicme]

Any man who needs to question the manliness of things is not a real man in my book. A real man accepts what life throws at them and carries on through it all. Having met you soccerc not only do I rate you as a man but you are also a better variation of one, a gentleman.

IT developer in financial services co. Spend my days digging into C++ calcs code to figure out e.g. why a 600000+ pension fund rollup over 27 years at 6% is out by 1.77 euros compared to the excel test system written by the actuary upstairs. Nice work if youre the type of person who enjoyed 500 piece jigsaws as a kid ;-)

what bank to ya work for?

Software Engineer! Not as exciting as it sounds

Not heard any one suggest IT was exciting since 2001 when everyone spend 20% of the time working & the remaining emailing jokes.

I dont think he means a personal bank.

[sadloserkid]

I'm an MA Media student and the assistant manager in a Spar store. In the course of this work I have tangled with all sorts of ne'er do wells (though most are students or scumbags) trying to rip us off. So it is now clear that my scrawny 150lb body is the most manly of all. Go me.

I was also the well-paid mascot for a pro sports team but that's a whole other story.

Man.

Look, you said it takes a special kind of scumbag to be a Repoman. I say, it takes a special kind of pussy, to be afraid to do it and there's a lot of them. So in my logic, being a repoman is a manly job.

Very creditable job and fair play, this country will always owe people like yourself a debt of gratitude but would you honestly say it's as manly a job as said a hod carrier on a building site?

Scumbag was a bit harsh, rather a certain personality

Why would anyone be afriad of doing it??

Pussy??

Are you for real??

Pathetic

Man.

Mortified for you.
