Today, I had an important job interview at another company. I'd tried to keep it secret from everyone at work, so they wouldn't tell my boss, as I can't afford to get on his bad side yet. My mom posted on my Facebook wall, wishing me luck. I'm Facebook friends with most of my colleagues. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I have another job I want to leave, but haven't said anything yet. At the interview, I mentioned where I worked, and the interviewer name-dropped my manager. She then told me he was her step brother. So much for not wanting my manager to know. FML
Today, I went to a big job interview. Everything went well at first, with the interviewer being impressed by my CV. I was then interrogated over not having a Facebook account, and practically accused of being a criminal, because people without them "always have something to hide". FML
Today, my social awkwardness got to an all-time high when I hoped that I wouldn't get the job that I applied for, because I'd be working with the public. FML
Today, it's job interview day. In the elevator on the way there, I overheard potential candidates talking about the boss of the company, mocking his alleged lack of credibility. Who's the boss? Me. They don't know that yet. FML
Today, I was to have an important phone interview for a job. I got a call and everything went perfectly, and they said I was hired. Later, I found out that one of my "friends" had gotten one of his buddies to prank call me and make sure the line was engaged when the real interviewer called. FML
Today, I was passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. FML
Today, I’ve been looking for a new job for a while now, after being at my current job for 6 years. I was offered an interview for a job I was really excited about. I went to text my boyfriend about the job interview and ended up sending the text to my boss instead. I guess the cat's out of the bag. FML
Today, I found out that my mom called my boss informing him that I am a little behind on some college projects. She felt he should know that she fears I might not be able to graduate on the planned date. My boss had already offered me a permanent job. I may not get that job now. FML
Today, I faked being sick so I could weasel out of a chemistry test at school. Happy that I pulled it off, I posted my accomplishment on Facebook. I forgot that I'm friends with my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you wanted to keep it secret, why would you tell anyone period?

This is why I don't like Facebook. No bloody privacy. I honestly don't get this need to share every part of your life with everyone.

Especially your mom, OP!

A prime example of how Facebook ruins our lives.

I never have my coworkers as friends on Facebook. Bad idea!

That's not Facebook ruining it, that's a stupid mom. Without Facebook she might as well have called him at work and if he didn't pick up himself told whoever did to wish him luck.

50- that's borderline soap opera plot right there. You're over thinking it! ^_^

Yea sure it's exaggerated, but it could happen. The point is, it's the mother at fault, not Facebook. That mom sure knows that her son is still employed at some company and should know that having an interview at a different company isn't something the current employer should know of.

Yeah, parents are so stupid. They never realize when you want them to shut up or when they shouldn't talk about something.

Well, did you mention that fact to her and everyone else you decided to tell about the interview? If not, you can't really blame her.

Not really Noor... I know. There is something wrong with me isn't there?!
perdix 31
#7, yes. Why aren't you offering her a cyber-blumpkin? Where are your manners?
zandalee 20
Perdix- Please, be my guest.
perdix 31
Hey, Noor! How about a cyber-blumpkin? Or am I too late?
zandalee 20
Please Perdix. We beg of you; NO ******** in the shower!

#20, 22, People! People! CTFD, please! It's all just "cyber." There is no actual exchange of precious bodily fluids (and, yes, vapors count as fluids.)

That's more like Twitter, doesn't?

Maybe don't add your colleagues next time?... And get your mom to keep her mouth shut.

Bingo. Don't friend people at work. Period.

Unless you didn't have a way to when she first posted it, why didn't you just delete the post?

Well it looks like your going to have a lot of explaining to do

And that's why you don't have work colleagues as Facebook friends.
japtap81 16
Totally agree! Or have ur account public! I vent on mine sometimes but I only have 2 friends before I started venting. But my rants are entertaining to them
andyyroxx 20
Having your account public would remedy the problem, wouldn't it? You are a genius. (Second part of your comment is so irrelevant I can't even respond to it.)
evilplatypus 39
34 - I think they were saying you don't friend colleagues or have a public account; they just phrased it badly (I agree with your assessment of the second half of their statement though).

35- Nice catch, didn't think of it that way.

Maybe you should have kept it a secret from EVERYONE..
sarahadlina 14
I guess you could have warned her before then?
