Work: The trumpet of success

The trumpet of success

By interviewed - 16/09/2009 10:37 - United States

Today, I went to an interview for a job I really wanted and am qualified for. I've been looking for months. This job was perfect; close to home and great pay. Needless to say I spent quite a while preparing. Everything was going great until I had to sneeze, which forced out a loud, long fart. FML

Today, I went to a really important job interview. During it, I accidentally let out a burp, came down with nervous hiccups, and when I tried to quietly ease out some painful gas that was building up, it came out as a massive, rancid fart. I'll definitely be unemployed for a while yet. FML

Today, I went to my first job interview in months. Just minutes in, a sudden huge, uncontrollable sneeze overcame me. A wad of snot flew out onto my shirt, which I didn't even notice until the visibly disgusted interviewer pointed it out. FML

Good job

Today, at a job interview, my interviewer excused himself to use the bathroom, so I took the chance to let out a tiny fart I'd been holding in. That tiny fart filled the whole room. When he came back, the guy literally stopped dead in his tracks and recoiled at the stench. Doubt I'll get that job. FML

Today, I had a job interview. The interviewer blatantly farted as I sat down, then she sneered, "Making yourself comfortable, I see..." FML

Nerves

By ADH2000 - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had a job interview. I stopped to take a pee in the lobby before I went in. I relaxed a bit too much at the urinal and accidentally farted. I chuckled about it like a 5 year-old for a few seconds. The guy who had been next to me at the urinal was the interviewer. FML

Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML

Too trusting

Today, I made the major mistake of trusting a fart during a job interview. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job. FML

Today, I finally had an interview for my dream job. It was all going great until I started chuckling uncontrollably, snorted like a pig and hit the guy with the world's largest snot rocket. All I could do was slip out the door as he sat paralysed with shock. FML

Don't worry about it, if your inteviewer wasn't a complete douche, they won't really care about an accidental bodily function. They're not gonna say "Oh that girl? She was really well qualified and well prepared, but she farts! I'm totally not gonna hire her!"

they'd probably hire "her" out of curiosity. this is how it would go Interviewer: I just heard this girl fart today! Coworker: No! Girls don't fart. Interviewer: Well, this one did. Coworker: Prove it. Then, the interviewer hires her to prove her point, and the OP will forever be known as "the girl who farts."

"Was that a fart?" "I dunno" "I can taste it... on my tongue" "Okay, I... I'll be honest with you, I did fart" "Is that onion? Onion and... Onion and ketchup... It stinks, and this is a small room" "...Shiiittt" "Okay, now the tuxedos seem kinda ****** up." edit: booya, 24. and *high five* for step brothers.
