Town council looking to fill a ‘hand job vacancy’ on Facebook has readers in stitches

Put your general hands in the air like you just don't care

Put your general hands in the air like you just don’t care.

Tavistock Town Council are based in Devon and like most local government entities, they have a presence on Facebook. Like most businesses on social media, they like to advertise jobs.

This job advert had good intentions at heart, but it read like something a hell of a lot naughtier. Advertising the position for a General Hand, they inadvertently created an ad of ’50 Shades of Grey’ proportions as reported by the Plymouth Herald.

They’ve since amended the advert to say ‘General Hand Level 1 Job vacancy’ which is nowhere near as much fun as the previous one sounded.

We were instantly reminded of this clip from Wayne’s World.
