Today, I applied for a job at a local store. As I walked out the door, I heard the manager read it out loud and everybody else laugh. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was desperately handing out resumes. I came to my local grocery store and asked for a job application, the customer service rep told me all she needed was my resume. I smiled and gave it to her only to see her read it, laugh and put it straight in the garbage as I walked out. FML
Today, I put in an application to my local market for a job that I desperately needed. I was talking to the manager, he seemed pleased with my application and said he'll call me. As he walks into his private office, I hear the sound of a paper shredder. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I walked into a door on my way in to an interview, in front of the interviewer and a group of people waiting to be interviewed. FML
Today, I had a job interview at the local donut shop. It turns out I misunderstood the position, and that the job was actually to wear a donut costume and wave at cars outside the shop. I was told this after I got hired. FML
Today, I had a job interview at a local business with the owner who was man, and the manager who was a woman. I thought I did pretty well because I heard the manager whisper so, as I was walking out. Then I heard the owner whisper, "No fat chicks." FML
Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML
Today, I got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. It was a man with a speech impediment, and I began imitating him. He was the manager of a store I applied at. He wanted to arrange an interview. FML
Today, I walked into Starbucks for a job application. I asked the manager if they were hiring, as I really need a job. He looked me up and down and replied, "NO!" There was a 'Now hiring' sign in the window. FML

Some people. You don't want to be stuck working this those losers. No respect, whatsoever... Good riddance OP. For the future, please bring your CV to a writing assistance centre or workshop. They can look it over with you, make sure spelling and grammar is up to par, and also assist you in making sure that your content contains what future employers are seeking. Don't give up. Keep fighting the good fight! The job search can be difficult, but one day, you'll find the right fit. Perseverance is key. Good luck! :)

People do write hilarious things on applications. My favorite was someone wrote their previous job, then under "position" they wrote the address. For a reference they used a pastor, and for position it said like 'that one church at the corner of blah blah and blah blah'. hahahaha. Shake it off, look at your application for cheesy sounding or irrelevant things.

Methinks you should check your application/cover letter/resume for spelling and grammatical errors. If someone was reading my application and they started laughing within the first few seconds, I would think there was something seriously wrong with what I did. They could just be assholes too, but you should cover all your bases just to be safe.

That's invading the privacy. It's personal information, you don't shared that to the public. What the person is rude and disrespectful.
