Today, I had a job interview with a person named Chris. The entire time I couldn't figure out if Chris was a man or woman. The interview went as good as it could have went. At the end I said, "Thank you very much sir." Wrong gender. 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 at a local business with the owner who was man, and the manager who was a woman. I thought I did pretty well because I heard the manager whisper so, as I was walking out. Then I heard the owner whisper, "No fat chicks." FML
Today, I went to the bathroom after a terrible job interview. My interviewer walked in with another guy, talking about my interview, saying he was obviously going to hire the other guy because my odd-sounding name was too hard to pronounce, yet alone spell in multiple emails. FML
Today, I was at a job interview which seemed to be going well until the guy saw on my CV that I prefer they/them pronouns. Now, I’m not pushy about it, but he instantly lost interest and kept checking his phone to make sure he gave me my full 15 minutes; at minute 16 I was out the door. FML
Today, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone interview with a company. Excited, I prepared for the interview and conducted extensive research on the company. The interview ended within a minute. They'd got the wrong person. FML
Today, I had a job interview. As I walked in, I confidently shook the interviewer's hand, only to say, "I'm doing well, how are you?" before she'd even asked me how I was, or even said anything. The rest of the interview was pretty much a blur of awkwardness. FML
Today, I had an interview. Another applicant shook my hand, saying, "May the better man win." I smirked and said, "Thanks, I plan to." I turned and saw the interviewer. He definitely heard. FML
Today, I went on a lunch date with a guy I used to work with. When the conversation got dry, I asked him if he went by “Chris” or “Christopher” these days. His name is Daniel. My brain knew my mistake as I said it. Just when I thought the silence couldn’t get more awkward. FML
Today, I was supposed to hear back from a job I interviewed for. The guy called me and told me I got it. I said "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" He responded with "You're welcome Emily". My name isn't Emily, it's Kim. He got the numbers mixed up. FML
Today, I had my first job interview in months. The interviewer started by introducing herself and asking how I was. I got caught between introducing myself and telling her how I was and replied, "I'm Kate thanks." FML
Today, I went for a job interview. The woman interviewing me had such a thick accent that I had to keep asking her to repeat herself. She got so frustrated that she ended the interview super early. I don't think I got the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The easiest way to determine whether an individual is a man or a woman is to check their clothing. If the person in question has grease, or food stains, you can easily conclude that they are a woman, based on the fact that she evidently cooks. Also, if the person you are uncertain about has a mop or broom in their hand, that is also a likely indicator.

I don't have any stains on my clothes nor do I have a mop or a broom, but if I did have a mop or a broom I would shove them up your sexist ass. If you are going to disrespect women like that, you might as well get used to having things shoved up your ass anyway since you are going to end up being some big guys bitch.

I would think that the men are the ones to have stains on their shirts... because as we all know, they love their sandwiches. especially with bacon.

I thought you were an asshole. Clearly it's the misogyny that says so.

Just don't say "sir." You don't specify gender if you don't know it. YDI. That's an fml for her, though. She's gotta feel bad

If you were having a job interview on the Phone, I would understand. But if not, uhm, i'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to identify a man from a woman.

that was my thought. I couldn't imagine them not knowing if it was in person. I suppose it's possible, but I think that his was on the phone, hence why the name (chris) was so important to the FML

johnslider, if the person has grease or food stains its probably a man. most women cant eat greasy things. or food. or we get fat and you wont **** us.

You should have just left off the sir part.

I agree. Why did you even specify gender in the first place? Simply saying "thank you very much" would've been just as respectful (and far less offensive).
