Today, I had a job interview. I have major OCD, and I had to sit in a room with a man covered in cat hair, struggling to even survive for an hour and a half. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I rushed to a job interview, but my cat rubbed against me, covering my suit in fur. I grabbed a lint roller, tripped over the cat, and knocked out a front tooth. I showed up sweaty, disheveled, and missing a tooth. I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, I was running late for a job interview so I took what I thought was a shortcut through an dank alleyway. I ended up getting chased by a pack of stray cats and arrived at the interview covered in scratches and cat hair. FML
Today, I put on what I thought was my "lucky" sweater for a job interview. Halfway there, I noticed my reflection in a car window and realized it was covered in cat hairs of various colors and a faded spaghetti stain from last week that apparently hadn't come out in the wash. FML
Today, I had what I thought would be an important (and formal) interview. Not only did I turn up completely overdressed, the man who was interviewing me arrived 30 minutes late. To top it all off, I was so distracted by his mysterious total lack of eyebrows that I forgot everything I had to say. FML
Today, I had a job interview, for which I spent hours preparing. My interviewer was nothing more than a pimple-faced teen, and after only two minutes of reviewing my qualifications, he lost interest and started asking such questions as which Hogwarts house is my favorite. FML
Today, I had a job interview. Everything was going really well until I noticed a bug on my interviewer's lower neck. I shouted that something really disgusting was crawling on him. It turns out it was his big hairy mole. FML
Today I went to a much-anticipated job interview. I've been out of work for a month and I really need and wanted this job. I then realized that yesterday's hike was not a good idea when a tick crawled across my forehead in the middle of the interview. FML
Today, I went to a very important job interview. I was so nervous that I passed out right in front of the interviewer's desk. 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, I shat myself during a job interview. FML

Interviewer: so why do you want to this job? OP: well…*twitch* you see I found *twitch* it interesting. LOL

whats the problem
THE_A_TEEN 28
Google "OCD". You'll see the problem.
RedPillSucks 33
I hope you got the job. You really didn't say what your OCD is and how this would cause a problem with cat hairs? Does your OCD force you to count them? Really there are so many different kinds of OCD that would necessarily manifest itself in a (short) job interview.

I took it to mean that OP has the cleaning OCD and had to fight the urge to clean up all the hairs that tarnished the man's suit.

I guess you could have said, Oh, I see you have a cat. They say no outfit is complete without a bit of cat hair... Thereby injecting humor into the situation.

Something tells me OP wouldn't have much of a chance of getting the job after saying that.
DanielleinDC 34
If you were OCD, would you want to work with someone who's covered in cat hair every day? Anyway, was it the prospective employer or someone else who's also applying for the job?

I don't have OCD, but I would freak out being in a room with someone covered in cat hair. I'd keep wanting to go over them with a sticky lint roller. I can handle untidy, I cannot handle dirty.
traze 7
"Sticky Lint Roller" what other types lint rollers exist?!...
rattusrattus 19
Static ones. I wasn't impressed by them.
traze 7
Ahhh yes those shoe horn combo.
False_Stupidity 42
One that isn't sticky, obviously.

He's having a hairy day, so what?!...You Obvious Cum Drinker....
rattusrattus 19
... Here's a dictionary. Go look up 'logic', 'fallacy' and 'reason'. Until then, your brain card has been revoked.
traze 7
Hmmm....handing me a dictionary thru a phone or whatever device you are on, "Logic" yea okay and "Fallacy", "Reason"....what am I'm mislead about and thru what reason?!...
rattusrattus 19
How the hell did you conclude that this person was an 'obvious cum drinker'?! It's not like they prefaced their FML with "I was enjoying a nice warm glass of fresh semen at my job interview".
traze 7
Lol that's funny(-_-)...I never stated that he was, I was just making fun of the acronym "OCD"...and why are you upset?!...WHO GIVES A **** WHAT HE IS AND IS NOT?!
rattusrattus 19
Yeah, not funny enough to be humour, not unfunny enough to be anti-humour. It just came across as random vulgar idiocy. And I care because I am bored, and this is more entertaining than partying with Rocky, Sir Lints-a-lot, Madame Le Flour and Mr Turnip.
traze 7
Who are these people you reference?! You care because your bored?! Not a good enough reason Missy.

Unless your obsession is cat hair and your compulsion is to count them, then I see no problem here. That is, of course, unless you have OCPD which is completely different than OCD, and you just say you have OCD to garner sympathy. I'm sick and ******* tired of every anal retentive person saying they have OCD. Just because you want everything to be clean does NOT mean you have OCD. Saying that trivialises a real psychiatric disorder.

Ehh what's up Doc?

I think it's time for our breathing exercises. Breath in, Doc.

i agree. i hear so many people say something along the lines of "oh can you put that back on the shelf exactly how it was, im OCD" first off i always wonder why people say 'i am OCD' , shouldn't it be 'i have OCD'... second, its ******* annoying. just because you like things organized or whatever doesn't mean you have OCD. id bet ANYONE who actually has OCD would love to trade places with the person who just likes to be organized. i don't actually know anyone who suffers from it, but i have seen enough of those shows on MTV (you guys know what show i mean) to know its a pretty serious disorder that can really interfere with daily living.

It seems that when someone uses psycho-babble that offends the "Doc" side, it unleashes the "Bastard" side. Is his real name Bruce Banner?

Exactly, the biggest problem living with this type of disorder is that you are so hyper-obsessed with stacking/straightening/colour coding/cleaning/counting/reorganising/ritualising/listing absolutely everything in your life that in the end you are not tidy or organised, but rather a chaotic explosion of organisational systems in which no one can function but yourself. It's debilitating.

MsKati - What you're describing is mysophobia, not OCD.

I have OCD. I have ha it all my life. It is the single worst thing I could ever imagine. For those of you who don't have it, you're incredibly lucky. I the people who think they have it because things aren't how they want it or they're a clean freak. Obsessive compulsive disorder is the worst thing I could ever imagine.
sweetbabysweet93 10
What's the shows name?
perdix 31
YDI for discriminating against freaks. Just because he was covered in cat hair doesn't mean he's not a qualified for the job as you are! Here, we have a lady covered in fish scales and she's excellent at her job, and we treat her like anyone else. We often eat lunch with her, except for Fridays ;)

It is discrimination if the interviewer has a condition in which he grows cat hair all over his body instead of the normal human hair. If I were like that I would be very sensitive about it. Poor perdix. People just don't understand your jokes, do they?
perdix 31
Oh, thank #94, you make me happy and give me hope. People like #77 make me think the future of humanity is bleak.
