Aghhh, I think The Soapbox is my worst one just because they won't fucking leave me alone. I had one guy call me after he was sent a letter saying he wasn't invited for an interview (not even passing the sifting stage which in my field of recruitment basically means he filled out his application in crayon and with his feet). And he tells me, from the dawn of time when he was born, right up to the present day, his entire fucking work history. For half an hour.
Or, even worse, my favourite Soap-Boxer is the Head of Psychology in our area of Britain (very high up and ridiculous manager earnings), and he will call you to ask to calculate the needed sessions required for a patient or something equally obscure that you couldn't possibly and shouldn't possibly know. You will sit there and say, "I don't know this, this isn't my department" for a good, oh about forty minutes, before he'll figure it out for himself and let you hang up. He will also only call you at five to five, right when you're locking up to go home. And thus the Psychology Department makes you want to stab your eyes out with a pen. Funny, that.
It's the sort of aimless, boring rambling that awaits me in hell, when I shall be reliving this job until the end of eternity.
