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

Sorry OP. I know how much it sucks having OCD! Hope it was worth the hell and you got the job

It's hard enough to find a job with really bad OCD

Actually, with some highly repetitive jobs, OCD is an advantage. Obsessive attention to detail can produce high quality work even if it cripples the person socially.

It helps me with my obsession to detail and photographic memory due to years of it, but certain things give you a LOT more anxiety than you'd understand. It can be too much to handle random little tasks

OCD people get on my nerves. :S

Actually, it's people who HAVE OCD. You can't 'be' OCD. And there are people out there who are diagnosed and medicated for OCD. My cousin has it, and it really gets in her way. Now if you're talking about idiots who claim they are just cause they like everything organized and neat, that's a different story.

Yeah, People who can't control it, I understand. But people who claim to be, just piss me off. :s

Everyone wants to have OCD or some other medical term now days. Jeesh not everyone is OCD. I like my house clean and my clothes clean and pressed but that doesn't make me OCD.

I have CDO... it's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be...

Yes, that's exactly what commenter #3 said three hours before you did. It wasn't funny then, either.

Again... Also what Perdix stated before this FML

Y'know, if you have a genuine serious medical condition there are probably employment laws giving you the right to a fair interview, ie accounting for your condition. If you're just a cleanliness freak who goes on about OCD for attention, then you deserved to have a bad interview! :p

From your phrasing I guess you don't have OCD.

Sucks...

There are a whole lot of people in this country that would have loved to have had that job interview. At least you got one. Suck it up .

If it's that severe you should get treatment...

I'm not OCD, but that would drive me insane too. It irks me to no end when an interviewer is dressed like a slob and you're all dressed up...geez, show some respect for the person trying to shard to get a job in this economy, not to mention some class. The interviewee isn't the only person being studied. I remember I came home early from a Canada vacation for an interview. The interviewer was 20 minutes late and showed up in sweats and a sweatshirt. She looked younger than me and she had a Twilight poster on her wall (which I don't care about that, I like Twilight), but it really didn't say much about her. I was desperate for a job though, so when I didn't get it, I chalked it up to the fact that I was better than her on many levels.
