Today, I got a call from an ad agency offering me a job. I was so excited, because I've been looking for work for a few months now and really wanted to work for them. An hour later, they called apologizing, because they'd made a mistake and offered the job to the wrong person. FML

Oh man, that really sucks. My husband had that happen with a project he bid on. They sent him all the contracts to sign, and then told him they sent it to the wrong person.
