Today, I had a job interview, but I arrived kind of late. I was in so much of a hurry that I hit a woman walking by in the face with the door. I offered to drive her to the hospital. Turns out that she was going to be interviewing me. She didn't offer to reschedule. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML
Today, I walked into a door on my way in to an interview, in front of the interviewer and a group of people waiting to be interviewed. FML
Today, I was late for an interview. Going into the elevator, a man ran up to the doors but since I was late, I pressed the "close" button. When I arrived to the office, the secretary asked me to wait. The boss walked in to interview me. The man whose face I closed the elevator doors on. FML
Today, I turned up to my job interview ready for any question, with impeccable references and previous work experience. Then I saw that one of my interviewers was the lady I accidentally hit with my bicycle last week. She still has stitches in her cheek. No job for me. FML
Today, I scored an interview with a hospital nearby my house, and so I ordered a car 30 minutes before. There were four people in the same car that were picked up AFTER, and dropped off BEFORE me, causing me to miss my interview. The hospital then stopped interviewing for the same position I wanted.

Today, I went to a job interview. The person giving me my interview was late, and while waiting for them I fell asleep. When they arrived, they didn't even bother interviewing me because they thought I was irresponsible since I fell asleep because they were late. FML
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, I went to a job interview, and a guy ahead of me went to enter the building, only to walk face-first into a glass door. I rushed to help him up, and after we had a good laugh about it, I turned to walk inside, only to walk straight into the door as well. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I was late for a job interview so I got a taxi to get there. Then the driver got lost and ended up taking me to the wrong address. By the time I got to the right location, I was 20 minutes late and had sweat stains on my shirt. To make matters worse, the interviewer was my ex who I had a messy breakup with. FML

Even if it's not your fault, you can't arrive late to a job interview and still expect much out of it.

well, it was nice you took her ot the hospital, but do you really expect her to still be thinking about your interview if shes at the hospital?! "Oh sorry doctor, i have to go make sure that the guy who drove me here still knows for sure that hes still going to get interviewed!"

ydi for arriving late, especially to a job interview. And for not being more careful when you opened the door.

I'm on the fence about this one... You were late, and you were so agitated or plain absentminded as to manipulate the door with such a force that it smacked someone's face. There could be legitimate reasons for both, but off the top of my head it seems inappropriate. I kind of think it was the lady's right to do what she would in that situation. Happy job hunting.

What a b#@$!, it was a complete accident and you even helped her! I might understand if you had just hit her with the door then kept going, but you didn't! I'm sure better things are coming your way, OP

I wouldn't call the lady that, I mean. . I admit it sounds a bit harsh, as it was an accident, but he was also late. NEVER be late to an interview, be early!

Contact the company and explain what happened. They should reschedule your interview regardless
