Today, I was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. 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 but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML
Today, I showed up to an important meeting 20 minutes late, claiming I couldn't find my keys. They were in my hand the whole time, and I realized it just as I reached for the doorknob. Everyone saw me pause mid-step, staring at my hand in disbelief. FML
Today, my car keys decided to play hide and seek. Good news: I found them under my bed. Bad news: it was after my job interview was scheduled to start. FML
Today, I was running late for an important meeting and couldn't find my car keys. After searching around for way too long, I finally realised where they were - in the pocket of the pants I'd worn the day before, which were now spinning around in the now-unstoppable, two-hour washing machine cycle. FML
Today, I was looking for my condo keys, thinking I had left them in my mailbox on the first floor the night before. Leaving to check, I realized I'd forgot to take them out of my door when I had come in, leaving them in the keyhole. FML
Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. FML
Today, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML
Today, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML
Today, I spent five minutes sitting in my car, panicking and tearing my purse apart because I couldn't find my keys. I then found them. They were in the ignition, and the car was running. FML
Today, I started a new job. I lost my work keys and had everyone running all over the building looking for them. We found them, hanging in the last lock I had used. They now all think I'm a nut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why were you running so late? As an employer I have no sympathy for someone who does not allow time for small emergencies. There is NO REASON to ever be late for a interview. A great big YDI to you absolutely NO sympathy for you here!!!!!

Agreed. I always give myself an extra half an hour to an hour to get somewhere, especially if I've never been there before or if it's crucial to be on time (like, say, for a job interview). Obviously things like car accidents and heart attacks should not be held against the person, but you always need to schedule in time for "incidentals" like this.

I agree that you should leave enough time for small problems, but no reason for being late? That's pushing it. There are a multitude of issues that may arise that make it impossible for someone to be on time that can't be predicted. If you were to adopt such a ridiculous attitude to something so obviously wrong you sound like a pretty crappy employer, and missing out on a position would be dodging a bullet.

1) Lack of capitalisation 2) Incorrect "your" 3) Misuse of ellipsis 4) Lack of punctuation The irony in your comment is overwhelming.

Sorry you were running late, but i'm sure if you told your interviewer why you were running late you'd have something relatable to talk about
