A man with a conspicuous tattoo of a hash plant on his neck has expressed surprise that he didn’t secure a job as an accountant following an interview this morning.
Jake Billings, who got the tattoo last summer out of a love for smoking hash and the desire to express that love publicly, attended the interview this morning where the employer took one look at his neck and decided immediately not to hire him.
“It’s weird like, does he not like tattoos?” queried Jake, a 25-year-old skateboard and masturbation enthusiast who lives on a settee in his parents’ garage where he plays decks and sleeps late. “Or maybe it’s hash that he has something against?”
“I’m surprised that a respectable firm like that could treat a person with a garish pronouncement of drug use with such disdain,” he continued. “I mean, so I smoke hash on the reg and play videogames and have never held down a job for longer than a week and a half but he doesn’t know that.”
“It’s racist towards Rastafarians, I mean, I’m not one but I do identify with their religion, mainly the pot smoking part,” continued Jake. “I’m going to lodge a complaint with someone over this, I should be able to have whatever stupid, highly visible tattoo I want and not have to be rightly judged for it.”
A spokesperson for the accountancy firm rejected Jake’s claims and insisted that he was rejected as a candidate because he was “stoned at the time, massively unqualified and arrived two hours late”.
“Although having a neck tattoo of any sort is light putting a signpost on that says ‘I’m an unemployable cretin’ so had I of noticed it I wouldn’t have given him a job either way.”
