Today, I got myself a cool pair of colored contacts. I was wearing them while at home, so that I'll get used to them. Then I had to go to a job interview. I forgot to take them out. I went to a job interview with zebra-print eyes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my first day with new contacts, but I found out they make my eyes red and itchy. Today was also the day I had a very important meeting. They think I showed up stoned. 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, after passing various interviews and tests, I was given a great job pending a pre-employment medical test. Now I'm jobless and colorblind. FML
Today, I wore a pair of glasses with no lenses because I thought I'd look smarter. I ended up poking myself in the eye several times, leaving it swollen. So much for making me look smarter. FML
Today, I spent a hundred dollars on new "business casual" clothes and took two hours to get ready for my interview with a government agency. My interviewer was blind. FML
Today, I was at a second interview for a job that I really need as I got laid off last month. Midway through the interview, I went to cross my legs and realized I had 2 different shoes on. FML
Today, I went to get a facial. I forgot my contact case so I put them into paper cup. My beautician thought it was leftover water from someone else, and threw my only pair of vision aid away. I scuttled home half blind. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boss that I was late to work because somehow my hand slipped when I was brushing my teeth, and I hit myself in the eye with the brush. I had to remove my contacts, wash my eye, and find my glasses. He didn't believe me, but at least my eye is minty fresh. FML
Today, I woke up with really dry, chapped lips. Still in bed, without my glasses on, I sleepily reached down into my purse for some chapstick and applied it. Upon awakening later I realized I had mistaken a mini Sharpie permanent marker for chapstick. I have a job interview today. FML
Today, I was getting funny looks all day. When I got home I realised that I was interrupted while doing my make-up this morning and completely forgot to fill in my second eye brow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

agreed as well. who would want to have stripped eyes in the first place. that's just asking for unneeded attention.

Yeah, colored ones can be reasonable as long as it's a natural color, but zebra print?

So were you not planning on wearing them outdoors? Why'd you get them if so?
bexox 0
When you get contacts, your eyes have to adjust to them. You only wear them for a few hours the 1st few days and build up.

I know, I HAVE contacts. My question was - so, he wore them outdoors and his employers saw them. So? They would have seen them eventually unless the person never wore them outside of his own house.

#91 Maybe the OP only intended to wear them for parties and stuff like that, because that's not really appropriate for work but could be appropriate for something else. I'm sure you have clothes you'd never wear to work but wear out with friends.

It wasn't like he just ran into people he worked for randomly. This was someone he was trying to make a good impression on. Zebra contacts are not professional. Well, depending on the job you're going for ;)

yeah rly. i completely agree. we all do things we wouldnt normally do in front of our boss or parents or whatever.

The clothes you wear and contacts are two very different things........unless you have the money. I am not sure with color contacts if you can wear them once, take them out for however long and just put the same pair back in. I just have clear contacts and I am technically only suppose to keep a pair in for a month and then throw them out.

They have those daily disposable contacts. Anyway, zebra-print contacts does sound cool! I've never seen anyone with them before.
