Today, I saw my unemployed 29-year-old son, who still lives with us, reading the work section of the newspaper and prayed that he was looking for a job. He was looking for the comics. FML

There's a 98.98725% chance that your son is a gaming loser.

number 1: why'd you want to straighten them in the first place number 2: why would you put something hot toward your eye if you know you know your going to close your eye which would cause you to NOT get your eyelash? YDI

You're letting him stay there, shut the **** up until you actually force him to do something. Instead of whining to the internet, kick his ass out. Call the cops if necessary. He is only doing what is allowed by the bounds set down by his landlord. So **** off and die.

Maybe he needs to find something he's passionate about, encourage him to try new things and meet new people. If he's not seeing anyone, maybe you should encourage him to start dating, the right woman (if he finds one that can see past his "situation") can push him ahead and give him the motivation he needs to succeed. I wouldn't kick him out immediately 'cause he might feel rejected and hit rock bottom by doing drugs or getting depressed because he won't have anything to hold on to. You should make him sign a paper which says he has a certain amount of time to stay with you, and any day after that he will have to pay you rent. Then you should hang it somewhere he always lurks at. Good luck. (:

if there are no jobs, what is the point in looking at the newspaper employment section? also, be aware that the old way of job hunting - which I used to do - is gone. no longer do you look in the paper, then spend all day running around dropping off resumes and filling out applications. it's far more cost effectives for companies to only accept electronic applications. so he could be sending off tens if not hundreds of applications in an hour or two in the morning, then reading the comics. one resume / application sent to a site like monster.com can be available to thousands of companies.
