Today, I took a two-hour bus ride to get to orientation, got stuck a block away because the pedestrian sidewalk was closed, waited half-an-hour for my ride in the rain, when someone called the cops on me for acting suspicious. I got to the interview soaking wet, and they told me they'd rescheduled. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 stood for half an hour in the rain waiting for my bus. As I started to go inside, my bus turned around the corner and splashed water all over me. The bus driver wouldn't let me on the bus because I was soaking wet and I would "mess up the seats". FML
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, wanting to be on time for my first job interview, I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked almost an hour through a thunderstorm. When I arrived, I was told that the manager wasn't in today, because of the bad weather. FML
Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10:05. When I got there, someone was talking to them, so I sat down to wait. Little did I know this wait would be 45 minutes. I got told to go home and that I'd be rescheduled. 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
Today, I had a job interview today after being unemployed for months. I left early but a stranger's giant SUV had me blocked in for over two hours. I called to explain the situation in the hope that I would be given another interview slot later in the week. I was told I clearly didn’t want the job. FML
Today, I drove two and a half hours to a job interview. The interviewer never showed up or called. I sat in the hotel lobby waiting for an hour and a half. Even the hotel staff said they felt sorry for me. 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 was under a building overhang to avoid getting drenched by the rain while waiting for the bus. Apparently that corner is notorious for drug dealing, I found this out when a man angrily demanded his drugs and chased me half a block. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Damn OP that's like getting knocked down, then getting kicked while you're down, then that kick knocks you down further, then you get kicked while you're down-er.

Is it weird that I thought of this as a movie montage with 'Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around' playing.

You're going to work somewhere a two hour bus ride away from where you live?

Sometimes orientation isn't at the same place you're going to work, if it's a chain they sometimes do lots of different places together.

Also, depending on the size of the city, 2 hours on bus could be nothing. I remember going to college which was an hour and a half, then to work which was another hour, and when I got out, had to spend 3 hours getting home to get maybe 4 hours sleep if I was lucky.

You were a block away, you couldn't walk a block??? You waited for half an hour in the rain for a ride when you were a block away? How much do you weigh? And what's with starting the story with "orientation" and ending with "interview"? Fishy!

What a horrid day to go through. I think a hot shower and tea in bed is in order. But on the bright side at least the interview was rescheduled and not cancelled!

The public bus sucks. There is construction going on along my route and to make it worst it's been raining alot lately. I feel your pain.

So I'm confused, was it an interview or orientation? Usually orientation is AFTER you successfully interview.

If you were only a block away how did you get stuck? The pedestrian sidewalk shouldn't affect you if you are on a bus and if you're on foot surely there was some way to go around the obstruction.

Because buses have scheduled stops. People have to get off the bus at the stop nearest their destination and walk the rest of the way. Have you never ridden a bus before?

Hey, at least you didn't miss it.

You were a block away but couldn't get there because the sidewalk was closed? Could you have walked around the block a different way? Walked in the road? I mean, this sounds like a 'got stuck on an escalator' problem.
