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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got a phone call for a interview at Target at 4:30 pm. I got super excited, so I got dressed up and headed over there. I told the manager that I was there for my interview. He didn't know what I was talking about. My friends had prank called me. FML
Today, I was to have an important phone interview for a job. I got a call and everything went perfectly, and they said I was hired. Later, I found out that one of my "friends" had gotten one of his buddies to prank call me and make sure the line was engaged when the real interviewer called. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I have a speech impediment and as much as I tried to keep it under control, it came out during the interview. I could tell the interviewers were trying to hold in their laughter. They ended the interview after 5 agonizing minutes, saying they’ll contact me. I left in tears. FML
Today, I had to call a customer. I usually try to avoid calling customers because I have a very prominent speech impediment. Well, it turns out the customer I called also has a speech impediment and thought I was mocking her. She hung up on me and filed a formal complaint with my company. FML
Today, I missed multiple calls from the company I applied to. That was the supervisor calling, wanting to hire me. I then remembered my idiotic voicemail I made months ago where I pretended to answer and say stupid stuff for 5 minutes. I don't think I'm going to get the job. FML
Today, I got a call about a job interview, saying I was hired. I was ecstatic, until they called me back and said they'd called the wrong applicant. They called again later, saying there'd been a mistake and I really was hired. When I went in to confirm it, they said they'd never heard of me. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML
Today, I got a call from a potential employer. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the man due to his incoherent mumbling. I had to decline the job after asking him to repeat everything he said, over and over again. I still don't know exactly which job I declined. FML
Today, the company offering the job position that I've been applying for called me up. I wasn't there to answer so they got redirected to my voice mail in which I'm acting like a drunk David Hasselhoff chewing on a cheeseburger. They called me 5 times. FML
Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML

Wow. You are a ******* asshole, and you don't deserve to have a job. Especially not one where you work with the public.

BiggLJ, aren't there other ways to have fun rather than making someone feel horrible? See the thing about "if they can take a joke it's no big deal" is you can't tell if someone's able to take a joke. The person could be depressed for all you know and you just may push that person to committing suicide. I honestly think people who get serious enjoyment out of ridiculing others are very insecure.

It's pretty telling of what kind of person you are if your first reaction to somebody's disability is to MOCK them for it. I'm glad somebody who is actually a decent human being will get the job instead of you.

Artsy, anyone who isn't mentally weak can take a joke or two. Suicide is a coward's way out, I feel no pity for anyone who takes their own life, even if I drove them to do it. If they're that willing to go they don't deserve to live.

Another one who was apparently raised by wolves. Under what circumstances is it EVER appropriate to mock someone else for ANY reason? You totally deserved it. Good luck getting another interview in this economy, sweetheart.

BiggLJ, getting upset over a joke that was made at your expense does not mean you're mentally weak. I agree that suicide is a weak way to deal with problems, but not everyone copes with stress or problems the same way and we should be understanding of that. & wow, you sound very heartless...
