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

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

Pfh, some bosses like to see that you'll do what you gotta to get what you want. Maybe he's one of them. I don't think you deserve it - **** it, god forbid you don't wait three seconds. Oh yes, you're such a horrid, horrid person.

How much time did that really save? Maybe now they can hire someone who isn't a self-serving jerk.

You got what you deserved, asshole. I hope you didn't get the job. Did you ever stop to think that maybe the person who was RUNNING towards the elevator was late, too? How big of a deal would it have been to wait two more freakin' seconds? Or is thinking about someone else besides yourself too much to ask for?

don't think that just because he is late too that he would have let you slide even if you had held the door for him. if you're ever late for a meeting/interview call ahead and avoid having to be an asshat to save a couple seconds. the only way to recoup now is to point and laugh at him and ask how the stairs were. you never know.

Actually, most "close door" buttons are placebos--they don't actually work, but they give the illusion of control. You probably didn't do anything.
