A comment on Get that job at Google. Parent comment

Angry because some random person (as in, you don't know him) on the net alludes to refusing an offer from Google?...

Regardless of the truth or otherwise of his allusion, I think your interjection is déplacée (misplaced).

Angry? What on earth gave you that impression? I'm curious.

Edit: I'm specifically curious because I can think of a few reasons not to want to work at Google and I'd like to know if others share them.

I didn't know it was possible to bite without being angry... or maybe I don't quite grasp this idiom?

It's a reference to fishing -- gruseom was suggesting that my parenthetical comment of "yes, we do exist" was bait (which he was going to take).

Oh, I thought it referenced a dog biting someone in the arse. :|

Thanks for the clarification!
