Today, after months of searching for any kind of work, I finally received a call. It was McDonald's, but they said I was overqualified for the position. I thought they took anyone with a heart rate. Apparently not. FML

Today, while despairing over having been rejected for my dream job, I received an email asking me to come back in for another interview. Then they called me to say they accidentally sent the email to all the applicants, and that they definitely aren't interested. FML

Today, I received a rejection letter from a company I interviewed with three weeks ago. They didn't mention giving my $200 portfolio back. Guess I'll keep using my 4-year degree to wait tables. FML

Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML

Did you spell the company like that? That could be a reason... its McDonald's, not Mac Donalds

Maybe because you spelled McDonald’s wrong

Probably because you can't even spell the name of the place right when you're looking right at it.

All of those rejections could be a sign, a sign that you should maybe try applying at McDonald's and not mac donalds.

I once got three rejection emails within a few hours of each other, all from the same company. I know it sucks. But keep trying elsewhere.

keep applying, get a LinkedIn profile to begin with, I heard it's the best in the market.

Indeed is definitely a better hiring/business site. It's easier to work with, sift through, and more employers use it who need employees like right F***ing now lol

Honey.. I’m seriously not trying to be rude. I really want you to succeed. Looking up the spelling of McDonald’s might help.

Today, I found out that in the three years I've been dating my boyfriend, his parents have secretly been going through all of his emails, including the ones I've sent him with "sexy" pictures attached. I can't look his parents in the eye without being reminded that they've both seen me naked. FML

Today, I was on a date with a girl and everything was going great. As I took her back to her house and walked her to her door, I leaned in for a kiss. She seemed to really enjoy it, so I went for another but as I leaned in again, I sneezed uncontrollably, shooting her face with saliva and snot. FML
