100% pure rant time.
Dave cuts lose on recruitment consultants, local component suppliers, and companies that make you register to get datasheets.

Keep the names of their firms. If you are ever injured, you can be a head hunter.
I think the audio is out of sync.
don't like to complain, but my experience was that the audio was about 1.5s off from the video. So I just enjoyed the video without watching you lovely face. 🙂
send them a BILL !!! First !!!
Next time, tell them your consulting fee up front, offer to meet with them, and make sure they hand you the cash before you give them your advice. If somebody actually does this, make sure to blog about it.
Couldn't say it better myself. Those recruitment morons also piss off us software engineers all the day -.-
start invoicing these recruitment guys for the phone call time, and you should do the meet ups with reps, and tell them how you rarely use the supplier they are visiting with 😉 tell the reps how you can never get their products from local suppliers 😉 put them into video blogs , "hi, I hope you dont mind me recording this"… 😉 you know you want to…
Remember, DR Murphy rules!
It's funny this video popped up in my "You should watch this again" list today. I got a phone call or email EVERY DAY this week from a different recruiter. Monday it was a contract mechanical engineer position miles away. Tuesday was a PCB designer position 2000 miles away, Wednesday was an EE job ~400 miles away, and Thursday was an Exchange administration position 60 miles away. Do these people even READ the resumes they find?
One of the best tic off
Thank you for the laugh.
It's all true and that's why it is funny.
so… Dave, I'm listening to you start the vid, and i hear the word, ADVISE, and i piss myself laughing. (I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR GOING TO SAY)
i hear you mate,
i get the same bullshit, computer engineers and techies, and satellite and TV installers, especially the Satellite and TV guys,
(while on a jobsite, mind you) asking me how to tune a fucking antenna or a satellite dish )
exactly right mate,
they are SUPPOSED TO BE Experts, but they don't know shit
and when you try to tell them politely , why don't they know how to do it
they get the shits at you for not helping….. FOR FREE
F#$@Ing Idiots, absolute Morons
i don't think they even earn the right to call themselves Technicians , at the very least.
I Have so many stories it's not funny, we should sit down for a coffee one day and exchange bullshit that we've come across. LOL, Just for a laugh
i fully get you on this point mate, your not alone. BE COOL
You know what grinds my gears? Cheap toilet paper. Some one-hung-low brand crap made in China that leaves my butt bleeding every time I wipe!!
turned off after like 90seconds. you're useless and arrogant
So you're saying people shouldn't expect you to give your advise away for free? But then why bother taking the time to write a blog and post videos on here in the first place
Do you work for free?
If you've made a blog trying to inform people about engineering why would you get so wound up that someone's interested in taking your advice?

I design and engineer refrigeration and this still his home. Thanks Dave!
I love this video Dave. It really cracks me up. Lol 😉
You are a mad man. And I delight in it.
you know what grinds my gears ? ……….
uhhhhhh! The cold calling! Thats the worst! It's one thing to be called when you logged an issue. THat's fine. But to be pestered by a sales jobs worth? Oh that is loathsome. I unplugged my landline phone cos every-time I plug it in I get cold called within the hour.
Dave, you and your videos are great. I am thoroughly enjoying them and learning a heck of a lot from you.
Couldn't agree more. About the only time recruiters ever call is to ask if I know anybody ELSE looking for a job. The WORST ones are where they have a job in mind, spend 15 minutes doing the pre-interview, get you all hyped up, and then, NOTHING! Call and call, and they can't bother to answer the phone, or call you back. USELESS!
I get calls like that every week! CRAZY!
I've always wondered what you do between every video cut-off after losing your guts off and then magically appear all calmed down, I've even watched closely every cut-off to see if any of the stuff in the background is slightly misaligned, perhaps because of an anger attack, an inevitable wreck of all your lab, and a subsequent calm down and "nothing happened here" clean up xD
