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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

you didnt say excuse me that's why

Couldn't you put down the phone for a second, press the mute button, or just say, "excuse me"? This is not a situation that regularly happens to people... honestly, if I were the interviewer, I would have been sort of put-off, too.

did u call back?

Anyone ever notice that when a girl burps in public...90% of the time she is cute! I guess Cute girls have enough self esteem to burp in public...but if she farts...thats a different story haha.

There's a cutie in my unit who burps and cusses with the rest of us. Keeps us thinking of her as one of the guys.

that's a double standard, it's cute when pretty little girls burp but when fat girls burp its disgusting and you throw things at her.

Did you apply for a job at the gas company? if not, FYL for sure. Otherwise expect a 2nd interview, and be prepared to fart in the phone.

Ha har oh the sadness

Lols at the ability to have a conversation that's long distance via telephones.

OP, I just want you to know, if I had been the interviewer, you would have gotten a laugh and a job. But yeah, you probably should have pulled the phone away, at the very least.

So? You burped. I'm pretty sure the interviewer was human, and has burped in some point of his or her life. Just call back, apologize, and play it off with a little sense of humor? Maybe.

Oh my god, they HUNG UP on you? Wow, that's just a tad ridiculous!
