Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went in for an interview at my dream job. When I walked in, I got a dirty look from the front desk secretary. Turns out, the guy interviewing me was from a dating website I'm on. I'd rejected him and told him to get a life. FML
Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML
Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML
Today, I started my new job. Less than one hour into the day, my boss told me that the reason he hired me was that I was the least attractive of everyone he interviewed, so I'd be less likely to cause a distraction. FML
Today, I had an interview to be a waitress. Afterwards, I had food in the restaurant, which is where I overheard my interviewer tell the manager he wasn’t going to bother hiring “that girl I just interviewed” because "her face is nasty and she’ll put the customers off their food." FML
Today, I overheard my husband of 3 years talking to our boss, an attractive blonde. She was telling him that she couldn't believe he was with me. She thinks I'm fat and ugly and that he's hot. He said, "She's not that bad…" We work in the same store and she follows him around like a puppy. FML
Today, I tried hitting on the new receptionist at work. After a few flirtatious comments and subtly hinting that I thought she was bangable, she informed me that she's married to our boss. FML
Today, I went on a group job interview, where all the applicants seem to have the same qualifications. When the interviewer dismissed all of us but the prettiest girl, outraged, I told him he was a prejudiced pig, and should be ashamed of himself. Apparently she was the only one who had a car. FML
Today, I was fixing my makeup in the back room of the office when my boss walked in. He looked kind of annoyed so I jokingly said, "Don't you want your secretary to look good?" He said, "If I did, I wouldn't have hired you." FML
Today, I went to the bathroom after a terrible job interview. My interviewer walked in with another guy, talking about my interview, saying he was obviously going to hire the other guy because my odd-sounding name was too hard to pronounce, yet alone spell in multiple emails. FML

I would have replied with "you're no prize but he ***** you". That would have shut her up.

I was passed over for a boatload of jobs through the years because to some hirers having the best resume in the pile didn't mean as much as being the prettiest woman in the waiting room. That said, the converse is also true. I was hired for some jobs BECAUSE I was ugly and wouldn't be a distraction, the boss' wife wanted a doggy gal on her husband's staff or in a couple of cases, to do all the work so the pretty woman would be free to flit around the department and show off her ****. When I was young it bugged me but now for me it's all about getting the job. Once you're in, you can make things happen but you can't do that if you don't get in. Once you get in the door, be so good at your job and get so much work done that you become indispensible. I got raises and promotions that bosses didn't always want to give me but HAD to because if they didn't, they knew they'd lose me to either another department or a competitor. I made damn sure that keeping me was well worth tolerating my unattractiveness. At one job I had, two bosses who had once fought over who got stuck with ugly me ended up fighting over who got to have me transferred to their section. Take the job, OP, and show them what you are really worth.

Everyone is so damn rude these days. Sorry OP. I'm sure you're much prettier on the inside than she'll ever be. Good luck finding a job.

Wow, what a charming woman. And stupid to boot. Maybe if she wasn't such a judgemental bitches he wouldn't be having affairs.

Think of the positive sides: A) you've now got a job B) you don't look like a home wreaking ***** C) you probably aren't a controlling, paranoid bitch like your bosses wife (:
