Today, I went in for an interview at my dream job. When I walked in, I got a dirty look from the front desk secretary. Turns out, the guy interviewing me was from a dating website I'm on. I'd rejected him and told him to get a life. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while despairing over having been rejected for my dream job, I received an email asking me to come back in for another interview. Then they called me to say they accidentally sent the email to all the applicants, and that they definitely aren't interested. FML
Today, I had a virtual interview for my dream job. Prepared as f**k. One of the interviewers turned out to be my ex, who I dumped for being too dumb. FML
Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML
Today, I got turned down for my dream job. Why? Because my ex phoned the company and told them how bad I would be for the job. He phoned me and said, "Now you know how it feels to be turned down." We dated for 2 weeks, 11 years ago. I'm now married and haven't spoken to him since we broke up, so I guess he's been stalking me. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML
Today, I had a Skype interview for a wonderful new job. I was calm, cool and ready to land it. But just like in a bad movie, the interviewer ended up being the creepy guy I turned down repeatedly in high school and in our 20s. He smirked and told me I could continue, but it would be pointless. FML
Today, in this horrible job market, I finally got an interview with a dream company. But like the dumbass I am, I mentioned my baby in the interview and got the "look" from the interviewer. Bye bye yet another job. FML
Today, I had an important job interview. The interviewer really seemed to like me. Instead of hiring me, he asked me out on a date. FML
Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom after a terrible job interview. My interviewer walked in with another guy, talking about my interview, saying he was obviously going to hire the other guy because my odd-sounding name was too hard to pronounce, yet alone spell in multiple emails. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I figure you didn't get it huh? This is why you should be nice to people. ;)

That's why you're nice offline AND online, when people can see your picture ;D You never know who you're chatting with. You were on a dating site, too, after all. You both needed to get a life, if that's why you told him that. The only difference is you have no life or job. He has no life, but he has HIS job, and the power over YOUR job. Next time, I think a simple, "I'm sorry, but you're not my type." will suffice, won't it?

I gather the interviewer brought you in simply to get revenge on you. File a complaint with his employer and next time you see him you can say "Get a job!."

I am in a relationship now but I've done the online dating thing before, and I have encountered many assholes from doing so. I won't say YDI, because for all I know maybe this guy was stalking you. I just think if he invited you in just to get revenge, it says a lot about his maturity level.

hahaha using online dating and then telling someone on there to get a life...amazing. apparently they have a life, and it involves a management position.

So he passed your picture to everyone in the office after you rejected him? How would the secretary know who you were instantly? FAKE FAKE FAKE

I really don't see how YDI at all. What are you supposed to do, tell every online guy "yes"? All the people who say that seem to be people who would jump at anything that asks them out. That is sad, very sad. It's simlar to real life: you go on a date with someone, or your friend tries to set you up, and you're not interested. You say "no" if you're not interested and if they keep persisting (or approaching you after you say no) it's reasonable to say "get a life"

Wow...you coulda just told the guy you were not intrested...you didnt need to put him down like that. Now he has been rejected and stabbed in the heart by a heartless bitch. Poor guy. I have no sympathy for the OP and i hope the guy rejected her for the job and told her to "get a life". YDI.

You told HIM to get a life...on a DATING site?! Wow...YOU need to get a life yourself OP. Go out and find someone instead of a website doing all the work for you.
