Today, I got myself a cool pair of colored contacts. I was wearing them while at home, so that I'll get used to them. Then I had to go to a job interview. I forgot to take them out. I went to a job interview with zebra-print eyes. FML
I agree, your life sucks (5824) - you totally deserved it (40844)

(+1)#1. I actually think they are awesome.
OP: If I were your employer, I would hire you so fast! xD
(0)haha, i think i might have hired you, too. thats crazy though.

(0)Ohmygod.
I WOULD SO WANT THAT.
I bet they hired you. ;D

(0)agreed as well. who would want to have stripped eyes in the first place. that's just asking for unneeded attention.

(0)DUDE;
if I wasn't such a pansy about putting stuff in my eye, I'd SO get those in a heartbeat :D

(0)When you get contacts, your eyes have to adjust to them. You only wear them for a few hours the 1st few days and build up.
(0)I know, I HAVE contacts. My question was - so, he wore them outdoors and his employers saw them. So? They would have seen them eventually unless the person never wore them outside of his own house.
(0)#91 Maybe the OP only intended to wear them for parties and stuff like that, because that's not really appropriate for work but could be appropriate for something else. I'm sure you have clothes you'd never wear to work but wear out with friends.

(+1)It wasn't like he just ran into people he worked for randomly. This was someone he was trying to make a good impression on. Zebra contacts are not professional. Well, depending on the job you're going for ;)
#101 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:34pm by TheMongoose333
(0)The clothes you wear and contacts are two very different things........unless you have the money. I am not sure with color contacts if you can wear them once, take them out for however long and just put the same pair back in.
I just have clear contacts and I am technically only suppose to keep a pair in for a month and then throw them out.
#185 - On 06/23/2009 at 2:42pm by patray_angel
(0)They have those daily disposable contacts. Anyway, zebra-print contacts does sound cool! I've never seen anyone with them before.
(0)She's a first time contact-wearer. Yes, some people wear them for cosmetic reasons too. You can also wear colored ones to correct your vision.
(0)I don't get how you forgot you had them in. When I wear them I always see a little bit of the color around my pupil, plus they're kinda uncomfortable so it would be hard for me to forget they're there. But I guess everyone's eyes are different and maybe they fit you better than they do me? I dunno. Oh and #11, you're a fuckin idiot...
(0)Omg I would hire you. Anyone who has zebra print eyes is flipping sweet!
#12 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:11pm by dancerchik3579
(+1)Why wouldn't you look in the mirror before going to an interview, anyways? Ya know, just to make sure...?
#14 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:12pm by NiCocaCola
(0)Dumbass. I can't believe you wouldn't check yourself over in the mirror before you went, unless you're just making a token effort to satisfy Unemployment.
(0)doesnt really seem much of an fml unless thats the reason you dont get hired, aside from the fact that youre stupid
#18 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:19pm by uconnhusky
(0)lol @ you. I have purple contacts and bright gold contacts (prescription though) and I go to work in them. They're not as loony at freaking zebra print, but, you're not alone.. kind of.
#19 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:19pm by premiermois
(0)if you read, she says she wore them around her house to get used to them, so she wouldn't notice if she was used to them.
#20 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:20pm by Georgia795
(0)I've done that:)

:D
#23 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:22pm by MeganH0LLYW00D
(0)maybe i'm obsessed with looking in the mirror or something, but i would NEVER leave for an interview without making sure i looked okay.
#25 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:23pm by papertigers
(0)why would you get zebra colored contacts??? like wtf?? fyl
#26 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:24pm by hawaiianxpunchx3
(0)How lame. Colored is okay I guess,
but does it need to be such a wannabe scene from 2007 print?
Your own fault.
(0)any sane person would totally hire you,zebra print is fucking bad ass& i agree with 10
#37 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:30pm by glitter_kiss
(0)I'm sorry, but those printed color contacts always creep me the hell out.
Most people do look in the mirror at least once before heading out the door to an interview... Maybe you should try that.
#39 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:35pm by shananigans
(0)..... where can i get these zebra contacts?
and btw, I would totally hire someone if they had zebra eyes. so theres still hope.
#40 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:36pm by rachelsantixo
(+1)I'd be SO freaked out if I was that employer.
And what the heck are you gonna do with zebra print contacts?!
#43 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:39pm by SublatePandemic
(0)YDI for getting zebra colored lenses, who the hell buys that kind of stuff? Besides that, if you were really worried about that job interview you would at least look in the mirror before leaving and it wouldn't be that hard to notice that your eyes looked weird.
(0)OHMYGOSH
where can I get those?!
I would've hired you!
#48 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:44pm by ily_hun996
(+2)ooooh great. a new fucking scene. zebra prints ugly anyways. how stupid.
#55 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:51pm by TheWorldChampion
(0)I wouldn't suggest holding your breath for that call.
#57 - On 06/21/2009 at 5:54pm by STRAWCHOPPER
(0)I've heard of colored contacts... I've never heard of contacts with unique patterns on them. I guess at 21 yrs old I've outgrown the age group that wears such things. YDI.
(0)How could you not realize that? Did not u look a yourself before getting out? Plus, colored contacts are uncomfortable. Don't get it...
(0)am i the only one who thinks that zebra contacts sound wicked cool?
#63 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:05pm by fmylifedotcomm
wow thats well good =D. id hire you xD zebra print contacts are awesome.
#64 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:05pm by kmckay92
(0)Okay, um, I wouldn't get zebra print contacts, maybe purple. Just make sure check in a mirror or something next time.
#70 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:23pm by Adulson
(0)that's freakin' awsome, I love zebra print!
but yea, back to you... FYL and YDI for being forgetful? lol
#75 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:27pm by sugarcakebomb
(0)Hope it was a job at the Strip club. Cause that be the only place you'd get hired... or the Zoo that works to
(0)That is awesome. ;) if you were qualified for the job and I was your interviewer, I'd hire you.
#82 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:51pm by McLaughlane
(0)sometimes when i'm really nervous, i forget about things or don't notice certain things.
#83 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:52pm by eastgirl16
(0)hahaha. if i were the interviewer i would totally ask you -why-, exactly, you wore them to your interview.
(0)YDI for buying something so retarded in the first place.
#86 - On 06/21/2009 at 6:59pm by mylifesucks_alot
(0)Haha! So your eyes looked like number five on this list?:http://i1.allaboutvision.com/i/wildeyes-collage-565x267.jpg

(0)Ydi for forgetting you had them in. Those sound tripped out, lol.
#96 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:23pm by dramakat11
(0)wow #88(nikki1001).....obsessed with fashion much? seriously, zebra print contacts would be so freaking awesome! anyway OP, that sucks. hope you got the job!
#97 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:24pm by dancelover1012
(0)I would deffiantly hire you just because of your contacts. That is so cool, I would die for them.
#98 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:27pm by silentlullaby
(0)YDI. You should of remembered to take them out. And you should of just blight normal ones.
#100 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:33pm by hcolovex0x
(0)@ #61, obviously not. Have you read the other comments? Sheesh.
FYL because it MIGHT affect their decision on whether or not to hire you.
YDI because if, persay, you did check yourself in the mirror, how could you NOT see those zebra eyes?
^^ :)
#105 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:41pm by HummingBirdsFly
(+1)AND having "zebra-eyes" is REALLY un-professional. So, to the people who are saying 'I'd hire you", etc. That's why you aren't in the position to be able to hire/fire people. Mmk? :) Sorry.
#106 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:43pm by HummingBirdsFly
(0)Think about it this way; at least you got used to the contacts.
It's an easy mistake to make, but YDI for mixing your priorities.
#108 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:56pm by KronikDysentery
(0)ydi spending like, 50 dollars plus on retarded contacts?
#109 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:56pm by organismal
(0)I want some sharingan contacts. It would be so badass.
#116 - On 06/21/2009 at 8:21pm by monkey314159
(0)Sounds like sumthing i woulda done.... They should hire u, bring a little life to the place
#118 - On 06/21/2009 at 8:26pm by koala_king
(0)Kinda funny, but I don't think anyone really noticed. Besides you can always take them out.
#119 - On 06/21/2009 at 8:28pm by BreezyPear
(0)Good, they should know they're about to hire a freak.
#122 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:20pm by cadenernest
(0)I think any contacts that make your eyes an unnatural color is really creepy. I wouldn't hire you the moment I looked into your eyes(lol). It is very unprofessional, no matter what job you are applying for. It tells the interviewer that even from the start, you wouldn't take the job seriously. YDI.
#123 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:23pm by myfishisBOBA
(0)Perhaps contacts like that were made to "weed out" the weaker members of the herd.
#124 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:26pm by MaxOfMetal
(0)omg thatss awsomee where do u get zebra print contacts i want some :P
#125 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:34pm by tina_xox
(0)Zebra print coloured contacts? Why would you want those in the first place?
#126 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:41pm by Gaby_peaceandluv
(0)Look on the bright side: apparently you got used to them.
#127 - On 06/21/2009 at 10:09pm by chanman
(0)So? They are probably like "woa she has zebra eyes lets hire her!" or they didnt notice. But if they did are they really gonna NOT hired you just because of your eyes??
(0)http://i1.allaboutvision.com/i/wildeyes-collage-565x267.jpg

#132 - On 06/21/2009 at 10:27pm by kaykay10xo
(0)well i think those contacts are cool. just not for a job interview.. so that kind of sucks. sounds like something i would do.

#139 - On 06/21/2009 at 11:01pm by Cromwellsandwich
(0)You're a dumbass for getting ZEBRA colored contacts. Especially if you don't have a vision problem.
#140 - On 06/21/2009 at 11:18pm by Partyboat27
(0)I hope they wouldn't hire you even if you weren't wearing them into the interview, considering you actually bought those things.
#141 - On 06/21/2009 at 11:21pm by happygoluckyhh
(0)She probably got the contacts for parties and stuff...
#144 - On 06/21/2009 at 11:38pm by CherishFlowers
(0)ydi for not checking before leaving the house. wouldn't you have noticed in the car on the way over?
but i don't think the interviewer will care that your contacts were zebra print. if you had a good interview, then they'll probably hire you.
#148 - On 06/22/2009 at 12:16am by mehwhateverr
(0)YDI for wearing unnatural colors for contacts. Seriously, zebra print??
#150 - On 06/22/2009 at 12:23am by misterman2
(0)I would hire you for having the balls to do that. In any case, I think that's one of the best employment-related events I've heard this year. Totally made my day :o) So what if it was an accident.
#155 - On 06/22/2009 at 1:35am by p00p0ster0us

#171 - On 06/22/2009 at 10:34am by commenter2
(0)OMG these types of contacts are so 10+ years ago! Why would you even get them NOW?! I had the WildFire contacts (for cosmetic reasons) back in 1999!
#173 - On 06/22/2009 at 11:29am by UrStoopid
(0)this story is not real, anyone going to a job interview would look in the mirror before going out
#175 - On 06/22/2009 at 12:32pm by cloudlessblu
(0)Lmfao freakkkkyyy. I happen to LOve zebra print (: where'd u get those???

#178 - On 06/22/2009 at 4:07pm by amaneylandx3
(0)OK, everyone who gave you shit over zebra-striped contacts is wrong. Thats some cool-sounding shit, except at a job interview... I wanna see the damned things tho.... No clue something like that existed.
#182 - On 06/22/2009 at 11:47pm by DieterDerBlau
stop complaining - i would do that on purpose! but maybe not zebra prints, probably some glow in the dark, cat-eye, plain black or plain white ones. ooh or some spiral ones they're quite cool
#186 - On 06/23/2009 at 2:52pm by Jakular
(0)i want to get red contacts, so i could kinda freak people out. lol, nobody think's a chick is so cute and innocent when she has red eyes.
but zebra? thats interesting. i'd love to see them.
(0)That's really not an FML... colored contacts are fun! Well, not for a job interview, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world.
(0)You deserve it for being annoying and wearing zebra print contacts
#192 - On 07/25/2009 at 10:52pm by disgruntled_man
(0)How is this an fml? I think the contacts sound cool.
