The difference being people didn't read the newspaper while driving, while at the dinner table, in the movie theater, while walking, in bed, at a funeral, in class, at a friends house, etc. etc.

Why do soccer/football players do this? Is it a joke? Are they trying to prove something?

It looks like a Blackburn Firebrand. Torpedo bomber from 1939.

Not if you want to play in someone elses sandbox. If you come to my house and I want you to take your shoes off, you either take them off or go on your way. Question all you want, it's my house and either do as I say or split. Same with finding a job, want to work there? Play their game. When you are in a position to change things then do so otherwise your righteous indignation will cause you nothing but problems.
Just curious, are you a younger person?

You're probably right, I don't work in the hiring department of my place, I am assuming as to what goes on. I figure there has to be a human reading the resumes and the sheer number of resumes they receive is staggering. The 3 people working in the hiring office would go blind if they had to read each one seperately.
Either way, there is no reason to answer like the original picture. Be an adult and answer like a respectful person. If someone wants to work somewhere, you have to play their game. It's not your place to question what they do if you are not in their employ yet.

You really believe employers read every single resume that they get? An application gives the employer a way to weed out people not fit for the job, like the wise-ass filling one out above.
The job market being what it is, companies get hundreds of resumes for a position. They can't sit and read every single one. My job gets thousands of resumes every time they post an opening and there are only a handful of people who do the hiring.
If they read them all nothing would get done.

Not by being a petulant child. Maybe different people read through applications and resumes. Maybe a group of human resource employees go through applications and pick out viable candidates and send them to a higher authority for closer scrutiny...by then reading your resume.
Just fill out what they ask and stop being a 12 year old about it. It takes just as much effort to write your address as it does the snarky answer. Stop being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

Maybe if the ballast is bad, the ballast gives an initial high voltage charge to "kick on" a flourescent light. Often times flourescent bulbs are still good but the ballast goes bad. I also know that flourescent bulbs will light in the presence of high voltage so I think it could happen.

Hate to say it...but it seems like the more expensive the car, the less driving ability they have. As a motorcyclist I have learned to steer clear of BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and the rest of the fancy marques. They WILL try to kill me.

And it just keeps getting worse. In time you will meet people who never heard of your childhood hero, you will hear a favorite song in an elevator, the oldies station will be playing your music, you will not understand the new slang the kids are saying, you will find yourself discussing lawn care with your friends. But it's all good. With this feeling of being disconnected comes a wisdom that can only be aquired with age. Enjoy the ride.
