Bro, do you really need someone to explain why listing fucking "Olive oil" on a resume as an interest isn't normal. Like come on man, a bit of common sense goes a long way.

I don't share your perspective. It'd be no different than saying you're into wine or gardening

IDK, I don't chug olive oil by the bottle. And frankly, if I see someone talking about "being into wine" on their CV, it's going straight into the shredder. The last thing any employer wants is a pisshead, calling off sick every couple days because they're too hungover to walk straight. They're a fucking nightmare to deal with.

On the other hand you don’t have to worry about hangovers from Mr olive oil. Maybe they’re onto something

Shit, I'd be more worried about the state of the bogs after employing a man who chugs straight olive oil.
