Let\'s Mess with a Douchebag
As I've mentioned, I'm hiring an assistant. I post the ad on Craigslist, among other places, and receive resumes via email. Whenever I do this, I get a certain number of respondents trying to get representation or sell stuff to me, so at the end of my ad this time I put:
[ QUOTE ] If you've already sent your resume for this position there is no need to send it again, it is on file. Also, if you're an actor seeking representation or a vendor of products to the entertainment industry, please don't send an email. It's really annoying. [/ QUOTE ] I open up my email this AM and got this reply: [ QUOTE ] Subject: [censored] YOU. You're the annoying one. Stupid bitch. [/ QUOTE ] I'm on Daddy duty today so I'm going to go pick up my daughter. When she's napping I will commence [censored] with this guy on email. Ideas welcome.

Tell him that you like the cut of his jib and how he doesn't mince words and you would like to offer him a position wiping your ass.

Unless you know this person, I don't see the point of responding. Basically he/she wins because they were obv trying to get under your skin and provoke a response.

Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of leverage you're supposed to have in order to really mess with him, here. Unless you want to represent him, and then somehow get him involved with horse porn or something like that.

Re: Let\'s Mess with a Douchebag
Most of these annoying people are just trying catch a break any way they can. They get rejected so much that I can understand their frustration with your somewhat bitchy addendum.

Re: Let\'s Mess with a Douchebag
i would create a new email address and tell him you received his resume and were interested in an interview in hopes he has sent one out recently. then i would go downtown and lease an office space for the day of the interview. make company signs to hang around the office and have "Los Feliz Industries" stenciled on the door. if he's from out of town, tell him youll fly him here for the interview and have a limo take him to your office.
youll have to have hired an assistant just for this day and have him wait for you in the front room. then when he's finally brought to the back office for the meeting and he's good and nervous, say, "[censored] ME? NO [censored] YOU!!!" or you could just let it go.
