Today, I went for a job interview for a building position at a retail store. They saw on my application that I was good at math. They asked me what the circumference of a circle is. Being nervous during the interview, I accidentally said the area of a circle. I didn't get the job. FML

If it was at a retail store I don't think you would need to know the circumference of a circle.

Building position.

Could have been worse. You could have thought the interviewer asked if you were circumcised, and whipped it out to show him/her

Not that bad, if you're applying somewhere in the **** industry.

Your dumb

^Oh the irony!
