I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

yuckduck Say more :

Ok guys, figured I'd give a quick update. Thanks to all of you who realized it was a mistake anyone could make! Lately I've been looking for a job, so I have a lot of interviews to keep straight. I had this interview, and another one tomorrow and they are both in the same town, I thought the interview tomorrow was the phone interview, and the one today was in person. Unfortunately I made a mistake, but I've learned to definitely keep my things more organized. The interviewer also completely understood and let me do it in person anyways. Hopefully you all learn from my mistake

Oh my gosh I moderated this one! lol
Anyway, OP next time maybe double check how the interview will be done.

He made a small mistake, that doesn't mean that he deserved to drive for 4 hours.

It's called being irresponsible.

The majority of interviews are done in person. It's an easy mistake to make. You are quite a judgmental douchebag.

Maybe he had multiple interviews and mixed them up or something of that nature

That or it can show that he can be forgetful/not listen to directions clearly. Either way, I'm sure they won't think too much of it. Good luck OP!

Walk into the interview room and still conduct the interview via phone.

Seems like you had plenty of chances to realize it was not in person

They are more likely to see it negatively though, especially if the job contains a certain level of responsibility. "If OP drove all the way there before he realized it was a phone interview, can we actually trust this guy to do what he's actually supposed to do on the job?" Probably something along those lines.
