Today, I had a job interview at a restauraunt opening up. One manager hypothetically asked me why I should be hired. I said I was more efficient than most. I left to find I'd locked my keys in the car. It took all the managers to help me get my keys out. FML

Today, I had a job interview but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML

Today, I was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. FML

Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML

Today, I had a job interview for a position at a police station. I asked to use the restroom and accidentally opened the wrong door, locking myself in a stairwell. I had to knock on the door until somebody let me out. Safe to say I didn't get the job. FML

Wait here

Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML

Unfair dismissal

Today, I got fired from my new job. It was the start of my third week, and I got fired for not opening the store. The manager forgot to give me keys to open the store, and was two hours late. FML

Today, I had a job interview. It went really well until I couldn't figure out how to open the slide door to get out of the room. FML

Today, my car keys decided to play hide and seek. Good news: I found them under my bed. Bad news: it was after my job interview was scheduled to start. FML

Long walk home

Today, I got locked out of a building that I work in (I work night shifts). I locked my phone, wallet, and car keys in the building. I had no way of contacting my boss or getting a ride. I had to walk home at night, almost got hit by a car full of dudes yelling slurs, and had a woman scream at me from the passenger seat of a car. FML

Today, I started a new job. I lost my work keys and had everyone running all over the building looking for them. We found them, hanging in the last lock I had used. They now all think I'm a nut. FML

why not walk off like its not your car until they leave or call a locksmith.... it would be more efficient than calling managers of a restaurant to your aid .........

@ #2 It shows that he/she couldn't figure out how to get back into their car themselves. You failed.

Well... At least they won't forget you. And maybe, if you were good humoured during the whole thing they'll decide they like you!

This is not an FML. Like #2 and #5 said, this doesn't counter your claim that you're efficient.

#2...in what way does forgetfulness equal stupidity?

I reckon it's quite efficient to get ALL the MANAGERS out there to help you, after they've known you for such a short amount of time. You're a born leader, albeit a really clumsy one.

Umm... How exactly was the interviewer's question hypothetical? For the question to have been hypothetical, you would have to be a fictional person. Maybe you should concentrate on content as opposed to arbitrary, ill-used adjectives.
