Some people…

I work for a company that has a number of specialized employment resources.  On the actual employment application we ask a pretty simple Yes or No question – asking “Have you ever been convicted of a felony?”  Then we ask the user to input the date of conviction so the potential employer can perform a background check as well as filter out contacts from applicants that have a felony conviction. Here are some of the responses to the DATE field:

• “volentary manslaughter i was really young and got into a fight and a man died and i am so sorry about”
• “Various convictions prior to my commitment to Honesty and Sobrity”
• “went to recover trk&load illegal aliens in trailer,went to trail & lost. Lost everything,company & truck”
• “This incident occured when I was twenty years old and should be exspunged.”

What in the world does “exspunged” mean in the #4 answer?  Is it like he used to be a sponge and now he’s not?  Maybe he was SpongeBob for Halloween and he grew up…  Maybe not.  But this post was authored simply for entertainment purposes that there are people out there that will write a phrase/sentence in a DATE field.  Some people…

Anyway, these were all so humorous I had to immortalize them online.  A Nice Find Shout Out goes to Mr. Doug MacLaurine for finding these.
