Today, a job candidate I was interviewing took a drink of water, and let it dribble down her chin and shirt while making fixed eye contact with me. FML

Today, I drooled on myself during a job interview and was immediately dismissed. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. FML

Stick hot mess

Today, I went to a job interview and, feeling nervous, accidentally knocked over the interviewer's Mountain Dew. Trying to recover, I blurted out, "Don't worry, I'm used to cleaning up messes." The awkward silence that followed made it clear I wouldn't be cleaning up anything in their office. FML

Today, I had an interview for my dream job. Things were going well, the lady was about to offer me the job, but then I got the hiccups. She immediately changed her tone and said, “Yeah, I think we’re done here. Next time, don’t show up to a job interview drunk.” I had no alcohol in my system. FML

Today, I went for a job interview. I was asked if I wanted a drink. I have no idea why, but I replied "a bottle of milk please." FML

Today, as a recruiter, I had an interview with a promising candidate for an open position at my company. The interview was going well until the candidate interrupted me halfway through to take a selfie. FML

Hi-de-hi

Today, I was at a fancy restaurant. I was drinking some water when I noticed a hot guy eating alone at another table waving at me. I smiled back, but had forgotten to swallow the water so it dribbled out of my mouth all over my shirt. FML

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

Today, the person that interviewed me for a job was the same person I called a "fat bitch" at a baseball game after she knocked over my drink while she was dancing. She recognized me too. FML

Business casual

Today, I had a lunch meeting with important people from my company. While drinking from my wine glass someone cracked a joke, causing me to snort a fountain of wine all over my lap, splashing the people next to me. The horrified look on my boss's face sitting opposite me said everything. FML

The way I read this, she was trying to say: "If you give me this job, I'll have sex with you." So, did you give her the job??

Maybe is you hadn't listed "creepy" as a job prerequisite. Seriously, it's almost as bad as dating, when you are in charge of hiring. Once I interviewed a prospective security guard and while I was explaining the site we were hiring for he picked his nose...and ate it. <shudder> My sympathies.

She was probably as horrified (on the inside) as you were. Interview nerves make even the best of us freeze up sometimes. If she's otherwise well qualified, and the rest of the interview went well, give her due consideration.

The poor girl was probably embarassed and terrfied. A lot of times interviews make us nervous and out us on edge she probably froze and had no idea what to do.

Maybe she was being pressured family to find a job? I actually knew a couple of people who would arrange interviews, get their mom or dad to drive them there, and then do something blindingly obvious to guarantee they would not get the job.
