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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 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
Today, I was scheduled for an interview at a local firm owned by two partners. The secretary told me to be there at around 12:00 to 12:30 pm, so I arrived at 12:15. The first boss told me off for being early, the other one yelled at me for being late. 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 showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML
Today, I had a job interview in a hotel and arrived 20 minutes early. I sat in the lobby practicing answers while watching the elevators. Eventually, the receptionist walked over and asked if I was waiting for someone. I gave her the company name. She pointed across the street. I'd been practicing my interview in the wrong hotel. 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 got stuck in an elevator. The help-line told me, "Don't touch the door. We'll be there soon". Two hours later, I had a headache, my legs were stiff, and my date must've thought I stood her up. The tech finally arrived, pries the door open, then rudely asked, "Why didn't you do that yourself?" FML
Today, I sneaked off work early. As I was in the elevator on the way down to leave, it stopped at my boss's floor, and he got in. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't think a few seconds to be nice on top of your already being late would matter too much...

Lame.

yeah, not funny.
perdix 31
Toxi and meepmeep, It must have been lame because both of your critiques of my attempt at humor are themselves lame. Thanks for contributing just a little more useless wear-and-tear to scroll wheels around the world. If you don't like what I say, either ignore it or criticize it in a non-boring way.
Intoxicunt 6
Oh, our criticisms are not good enough? Aren't you doing precisely what you just accused us of? And really, wear and tear to scroll wheels? I think one line of text won't destroy your mouse. "It must have been lame because both of your critiques of my attempt at humor are themselves lame." Nice logic. Something that happened SINCE you posted your comment somehow made your comment lame. Yep, makes absolute sense. Now does the simplicity of my previous comment negate the truth in it? If so, I'll eloquently spell it out for you, in a way that isn't "boring". Dear Perdix, Your comment was found by me to be most distasteful. The humor you attempted to inject into it is, at best, overdone. A joke can be hilarious once, funny the next time, and outright disappointing the fifteen-thousandth. I don't find sexism to be funny, but can tolerate, nay, even laugh at it the first couple times. Eventually, however, it's offensive. I apparently am not the only one who feels that way. If I were to make a racist joke against African-Americans on a daily basis, and the same unimaginative joke every time, would it not cease to be amusing?

That's nonsense intox! Why I bet he spent hours and days slaving over that joke finessing it to perfection so that it would be an accurate depiction of his wittiness and originality. And to say that the joke is not funny and not original is simply an insult to his intelligence! Or lack thereof! And then you have the audacity to not only insult his Robin williamesque humor... but to force him to apparently lessen the life span of his mouse and making him waste his precious, precious fmylife time by reading your comment? And then making him respond with an even funnier and well thought out response than the first one? You really do live up to your name!

Lol. Perdix is quite intelligent, I just really didn't care for his comment. Yours made me giggle though.

Perdix, there is a chance that OP could be a guy.

Did you just write a whole essay on why his comment was lame and how he was contradicting himself by replying back to your post? haha
Vanni 0
Yes. I did. Apparently my first one didn't explain it well enough. And at least I didn't say "you're criticizing me wrong! Do it some other way!" in which case, I'd be a hypocrite.
Intoxicunt 6
Yes, I did. However, I didn't criticize the way he was criticizing me. That would make me a hypocrite. Simple coming back to clarify (sarcastically) my previous comment doesn't.

thats the perfect time to say - Ops!-

You're not very bright, are you, OP? Even if it wasn't your potential boss, it most likely would've been a potential coworker, who could out you to your boss, or a customer/client, who could also out you to your boss. And I think disrespect to clients and coworkers would be more upsetting than a few added seconds of lateness. Also, YDI for not getting there early. It's better to arrive early than risk being late.

Ahh, thank you, Donkey. =] I haven't been commenting much, so I figured I needed to come back with a vengeance. RAWR (not scene kid rawr, MGM lion rawr).

:D It's my newest pic. My hair is really really short now. Ok, feel free to start a fanclub, but don't invite any stalker types. I had to file a police report against two guys last week for harassment and creepiness. :/
Intoxicunt 6
I want to be your fan, Mercy. Can I? Pleeeaase? Ok, club anyone who vaguely reminds you of mistercoffee. :)

Where do I sign up for these fanclubs? Do I have to pass some sort of test? I'll bring cereal and thai food!

*Marries RBG* Now you can't have other fans. I claimed you. :) Now gimme my sushi! Or...Thai food works too.

Sushi sushi sushi sushi sushi! I'm in love. Deep, deep in love. ******* [playland] balls deep. ;D My boyfriend and husband might have a few objections... But my boyfriend never reads the comments anyway. I miss our crew. Damn work! Damn you! ):
Intoxicunt 6
I'm in love too....... *Bursts into song and dance* I'M IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPER! Ahem....sorry. Your boyfriend and husband can live with us. Foursome! Where in hell is that hubby of yours anyway?
redbluegreen 41
I should ask him... He keeps coming back for snuggles though. He'll be around.

I have a husband* who likes to stare at my cleavage, and there's another boy who's had his brain damaged enough to be attracted to me in real life, yes. *We're the first FML married couple, with Alan's blessing.
Intoxicunt 6
But Alan's blessing is a curse. :/
redbluegreen 41
He very well could be. I like 'em slow. Toxi, Alan's a bit anal, isn't he?
Intoxicunt 6
Ahaha, Alan is very anal. Did you get him a wedding gift? :P
redbluegreen 41
Retirement home sized bottle of lube count as a wedding gift?

Who needs work when there's FMLs to comment? That's not all you like to work behind the curtains. (-:,' Eeep! I'll have you guys know that my shirt covers me today. No boob exposure. I'm sorry, my dear. I still love you!

I'll be sure to dress up when I get on FML then. Appropriate attire would include a corset?
