If you've ever been unemployed, or even if you're just looking for a summer job, then you know the feeling of stress that comes with filling out job applications. Most of them, you'll never hear back from. As for the rest of them, you get either rejected or do an awkward interview and a bunch of aptitude tests, then still never hear back. Many of us are living in it right now, hoping you hear back from somewhere before your next unemployment check comes through.

If you're sick and tired of the job application process, these 10 people relate to you. They've also made some dark jokes about it to help you cope, and you can even see some of them lash out at potential employers, something the rest of us wouldn't dare do (are they brave, or just jerks?). To help you cope with this awful job market, take a look at the best posts from people living in this anxiety-ridden limbo.

The truth is, most job applications vanish into an unknown void, never to be followed up on ever again. This user claimed these were the results of their first 100 applications for a new job, and while sad, they're believable.

I'm Sorry, What?

I don't know about you guys, but I've never had an employer ask me to "take on high personal risk to care for the company." I can't imagine what they're talking about, and I don't want to find out, either.
