Today, I went for a really important job interview. She loved my portfolio and we got along really well. But I guess that a corner of my skirt got caught underneath my shoe when I stood up to shake her hand, exposing my teenytiny underwear and neglected bikini line. She didnt shake my hand back. FML

Wardrobe malfunction for the win?
J/k. That sucks! And stepping on my skirt causing it to pull down sounds like something I would do.... But thats why you're suppoed to take care of yourself. Not that you have to, but it would have saved yourself even more embaressment.

well you should always shave your crotch before a job interview, just in case... yeah right
#88 - On 06/18/2009 at 1:12pm by grlwitperlEring
I think he was talking about her legs. Not her vagina. Really...
#96 - On 06/18/2009 at 2:18pm by MeganH0LLYW00D
It depends on the profession. What if she was applying to be a stripper? Then you definitely need to shave.
it says "Speak your mind, but please try and be respectful,please try and be respectful,please try and be respectful,please try and be respectful,please try and be respectful,"
#115 - On 06/18/2009 at 4:49pm by rafaelaugusto94
oh my god. shut up. i am soooo sick of guys telling us to shave our goodies. it not hygenic and its painful. get over it. you dont have to shave yours so why do girls have to shave theres. its unfair. after all you're the ones who go inside us. how retarded is that. and this could happen to anyone. stop blaming her.
#127 - On 06/18/2009 at 6:37pm by yogurtisyummy
#30 Hahaha...im a girl and i totally agrre with u
Feminist people are ass's...let girls be girls and let guys be guys
Like seriously
You know, #30... there is room in between "really long" skirts and two inch skirts. Wearing even a knee-length skirt shows hairy legs, if you have them.

Wow, you're wearing really long skirt. Are you some kind of hippie who doesn't shave???

you should really think about shaving
#15 - On 06/18/2009 at 9:54am by ocean3684
12- Maxi skirts? They're not just for hippies you know. And anyone can neglect to shave for a while. It's not a crime to give yourself a break- shaving or waxing constantly can cause ingrown hairs, which are painful and can turn into nasty infections.
OP, try not to worry about it. Hopefully she'll just disregard that, and remember that you have a great portfolio and are qualified for the job. Honestly, it could happen to anyone, even her.

YDI for wearing a skirt to an interview, wear slacks--much more professional.
#18 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:09am by Katzilla_dances
Yeah, cuz girls who try to be decent and wear long skirts instead of a 2 inch one and exposing their ass to the world means they have a problem.
God I hate people like you.
#31 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:24am by genius_man16
Uh, yeah it is. Pubic hair grows at the same rate as normal hair. Keeping it trimmed keeps it from getting matted and makes it easier to keep clean.
#33 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:33am by plethora
dude you must have some long pubes.
its like eyebrow hair and doesnt really grow longer than a certian length. otherwise youd get people with pubes hanging out of their shorts or boxers or w.e
#36 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:36am by penizulaface
No. I don't. Because I trim them.
Ok, maybe "the same rate as normal hair" was an exaggeration, but it does still grow. And it is still easier to wash when shorter.
#39 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:45am by plethora
urmmm.... how?
do you like, comb and shampoo your pubes?
#40 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:50am by penizulaface
I've got a jungle and wash it every day. It really isn't that hard.

If your pubes are so long that they are not contained by your underwear, you are unhygienic, especially in a skirt. This woman can and will be dropping pubes all over the office. How is that hygienic? Seriously?
#53 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:07am by ozymandias
touche...
but girls cant. unless a yeast infection is nicer than having pubes. sexy.
#54 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:08am by penizulaface
I really doubt that thats possible.... cant be contained in your underwear? pubes dont get longer than an inch, i think.. i shave but still, i doubt they can get so long that they cant be contained
#59 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:12am by penizulaface
Read the OP. The issue is that she stepped on her skirt, and 'neglected bikini line', which, to me, and evidently many other posters, takes that as her pubes showed around her teenytiny underwear.
#62 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:25am by ozymandias
someone said shorter pubes make it easier to wash... but then that should only be the case if they were going to wash like they do with normal hair :/
#68 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:36am by penizulaface
people arguing about how long pubic hair can grow: it will only grow to a certain length, which is pretty short. the same is true for the hair on your head - of course it grows a lot longer, but it still stops eventually. and just because you think that shaving/trimming seems "cleaner", that doesn't mean that it is actually more hygienic.
#75 - On 06/18/2009 at 12:36pm by miss_california
#19, if she wasn't going for a job as a stripper/escort/prostitute/pornstar the length of her pubic hair should be of no concern to anyone. Imagine the position description: Must have post-graduate education, 8-10 years experience, and well groomed pubic hair....
You are an idiot. When was the last time you saw someone's pubes down to their kneecaps?
Of course, your pubic hair probably has not started growing out of your Spiderman underwear yet.
somehow, i doubt that, considering i dont shave mine but it doesn't grow to the lengths that my hair does
#162 - On 06/19/2009 at 2:18am by organismal
The "trimming" especially in the context of a bikini-line, refers to shaving hair which grows slightly outside the area which a bikini bottom would cover. That has obviously nothing to do with hygiene, it's about a taboo in the American psyche "thou shall not see pubic hair".
Obviously, just as with the hair on your head - length has no impact on cleanliness. Washing, however does.

Personal hygiene is not something you want lacking in a future employee. TRIM THAT SHIT!
#20 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:12am by ozymandias
She probably knows she'll never be able to look at you without that image in her mind. Horrible luck for you, better luck next time.
15 -- yes, yes they are hippy clothes -- but others do wear them.. but others shave.
#22 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:13am by ozymandias
#19-- Oh, come on. How often are your coworkers or customers going to be staring at your snatch? As long as she washes it, how she wears it is her own business.
how could your skirt be that long?
Are you a Mennonite ?
LOL
#32 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:32am by lolwhat
Right, employers should require their male and female employees to keep their pubic hair trimmed, for hygiene and grooming reasons. Nobody wants a coworker to be walking around the office with a pair of sweaty, smelly 'nads! Oh wait, what's in your pants is none of your coworkers' business.
It might speak more to her that you're accident-prone (klutzy) than anything else. It's still a FYL though.
I don't get it. She's a woman, as well. Why wouldn't she understand?
#43 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:54am by littlemisslee
THANK FUCKING GOD
This is the first FML I've seen that wasn't completely buried in replies to the first post.
NOBODY CARES IF YOUR POST IS HIGHER UP ON THE PAGE. PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO THE FIRST POST JUST SO PEOPLE CAN SEE YOUR INCREDIBLY WELL THOUGHT OUT "YDI" .
Also, if you don't get a job because of that reason alone, I'm pretty sure you could file some kind of complaint about discrimination. >_> Maybe.
Skirts aren't that complicated to wear without mishap. YDI.
#47 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:59am by elfuzzo
#33... and how would they make sure people followed that rule?
#49 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:00am by McCannCanTriple
Well, it's obviously really awkward, so I'm not surprised she didn't shake your hand. FYL though, I hope you get the job anyway!
#50 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:00am by elleyouseewhy
How did your skirt get pulled down so far so fast that it revealed your underwear and your 70s porn bush. Must have been loose already.
If you are wearing a skirt, keep your pubes in your underwear. Think of underwear as a hairnet for your short and curlies.
#56 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:08am by ozymandias
It is nobody's damned business what you do or do not wear under your outer clothes. Quit telling others how to dress or groom their private regions.
I'm not saying YDI, but shit like that does happen...If you're gonna neglect grooming, you should also neglect itty-bitty underwear designed to show off a well groomed area. Common sense. Hope you still got the job.

Why would she shave her regions for a job interview? Was she trying out for a porno??
#71 - On 06/18/2009 at 12:08pm by fuzzybunnysays
If your future boss makes a big deal out of it, then she's being completely unrealistic. Whether or not someone shaves, waxes, trims or lets it grow out, they're still going to have hair growing for the rest of their lives, because we're mammals. Just because someone might believe something is unflattering, doesn't make it right or wrong.
She was probably just slightly embarrassed or shocked, and I don't think it would've mattered if you had shaved or not. Hopefully, you got the job.
#73 - On 06/18/2009 at 12:20pm by redbluegreen
That's the worst and highly embarrassing, but she shouldn't hold it against you. It's not like you purposely flashed her; it was just an accident, and she should be understanding.
And honestly, who cares what it looks like? None of your co-workers are going to see it, so what does it matter?
#76 - On 06/18/2009 at 12:42pm by Fire_lights
Well, if the job requires it... just put a hair net on that thang.
#77 - On 06/18/2009 at 12:48pm by rukusrazor
You're supposed to address appropriately for a job interview? What does that require? Postage and a return address?
... i still dont get how u expose evrthing when ur wearing a long skirt, even if u step on it u still cant expose evrthing, its not like you kicked ur skirt up or anything
#82 - On 06/18/2009 at 1:02pm by angeldo6695
oh wait i get it now, when u stepped on it, u pulled down ur skirt, ohhhhh, i think.
#83 - On 06/18/2009 at 1:05pm by angeldo6695
I, personally, would see that as a very good quality lol.
#85 - On 06/18/2009 at 1:07pm by ForWhatItsWorth
what kind of girl wears a skirt that goes down past her feet? i thought only like Amish people did.
#87 - On 06/18/2009 at 1:11pm by CaptainPat
I think, if you've got a jungle down there, and your embaressed about it, dont wear "teeny tiny" underwear. You're destined for an epic fail.
Wow I love how people it a crime to not to shave. Yes, trim but shaving makes it look like a backwards ass. And it was a JOB INTERVIEW not a date. Fyls for being assholes.
#93 - On 06/18/2009 at 1:24pm by eskimopanda
Musta been one long skirt. Or you have no kneecaps. Either way, that sucks. And it's not a YDI for having a 'neglected bikini line'; the OP could live somewhere where it's cold-is year round! God, people are so quick to say YDI for the most ridiculous reasons.
#98 - On 06/18/2009 at 2:26pm by SusanaSaysRawrxD
Why do people post the same comment like 10 times? It really gets annoying. And to the op that stinks
Um, not your fault, your pubes your business, just bad luck! Maxi skirts were v fashionable last couple of years. If you don't get the job because of it she's a dumbass and you don't want to be working with/for her. Like your bikini line affects the quality of your work!
#105 - On 06/18/2009 at 3:15pm by unistudentb
Well maybe it was because you extended your hand. You're supposed to wait for her to extend her hand since she is the one with authority...
#104.. Depends on your job, if you think hard enough.
(The reply feature decided it hates my computer.)
maybe she thoughtyou wanted something with her (sexually) but she didnt though that it was an accident!
#116 - On 06/18/2009 at 4:51pm by rafaelaugusto94
So u wer wearing like a floor length skirt??
If ur gunna wear that then u obvi deserved wat happened...a duuuh
Wow the employer is a real cunt. You should have run out of the office half naked and screaming that she tried to sexually abuse you.
FYL indeed. How you shave is nobody else's business. I hope she understands that this was an accident. If you don't get the job because of this then that's just BS.
Baha.
This one made me laugh pretty hard just because I read "My skirt got caught underneath my shoe when I stood up to shake her hand, exposing my teenytiny underwear and [neglected bikini line]."
That was all that was needed to make this FML hillarious.
#135 - On 06/18/2009 at 8:33pm by BeQuickOrBeDead
Were you a model go-seeing, by chance? That'd explain the emphasis on a portfolio + personal grooming habits, since you're selling your image.
#137 - On 06/18/2009 at 8:41pm by choochootrain
People.
When you sit down, the skirt covers more leg than it would if you were standing. Common sense. When standing, the skirt probably didn't get past her ankles, but it did when she was sitting. >.>
Also, neglected bikini line can also mean short hair, but unshaved(bikini lines are usually shaved even if the rest is left natural). Say, when you're waiting for it to grow so you can wax.
YDI for wearing a floor length skirt.
Sorry. It's not 1910 and I'm guessing you're not 86 years old.
it's not her job to judge you based on your underwear and whether or not you trim your pubes.
what IS her job is to judge you based on wearing a hippie skirt to a job interview. business attire = knee to just below the knee skirt and stockings. or, you know, dress pants look even better. maybe if you want to be taken seriously, you should dress seriously.
#140 - On 06/18/2009 at 10:34pm by starvingxartist
In the middle ages, women would braid their nether-hair and tie ribbions in them...I imagine that they would have to be at least 3 inches to do that....
#142 - On 06/18/2009 at 11:03pm by Sweet_child_NOT
what the hell? you wear such long skirt for job interview? she might just pretended liking you at the begining
I highly doubt it was because of ur bikini line
Maybe she really didn't like you?
This is so not an fml seeing as only a lesbian would be looking up ur skirt
Were u applying for a lesbian job? A lesbian prostitute maybe?
I'm not against gays at all. I hapen to be best friends with one, but ur vag has nothing to do with u or ur hands
Unless u were applying for said job.
First, skirts don't go to your feet. Dresses do. Second, who would hire someone who doesn't pay attention to detail, and third, you're not supposed to show your bush at an interview
My skirt was knee-length and flowy (Im am artist and am therefore not required to dress like a square) and yes i was in-between waxings so it wasnt a jungle down there...just...neglected as I said haha And I dont think Im gonna get that job...you shoulda seen her face!
#165 - On 06/19/2009 at 1:50pm by ChrissiOfTheHill
Okay, I can understand not wanting to waste time shaving your bikini line if you're not going to be wearing a bikini, and I can understand wanting to wear teeny underwear to make yourself feel cute... but how could you possibly feel comfortable wearing underwear that exposes your pubic hair, even if no one else will see it? I would feel disgusted at myself.
#170 - On 06/23/2009 at 4:07pm by princesskitten
ydi. if you did not shave, fine. if you wore exposing underwear, fine. combination of the two: not fine.
