Donut laugh at me

Today, I had a job interview at the local donut shop. It turns out I misunderstood the position, and that the job was actually to wear a donut costume and wave at cars outside the shop. I was told this after I got hired. FML

Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I was offered coffee and a donut. It was going well until I took a bite of the donut and started choking on it. I coughed so hard I ended up vomiting into his garbage can. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Today, I finally got an interview at a restaurant after looking for a job for three months. I dressed nice, and the interview was going well until this blonde girl in booty shorts and fishnets walked in. The manager hired her on the spot. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, I got a call about a job interview, saying I was hired. I was ecstatic, until they called me back and said they'd called the wrong applicant. They called again later, saying there'd been a mistake and I really was hired. When I went in to confirm it, they said they'd never heard of me. FML

Either your didn't bother asking what position you'd be hired for or you simply got tricked into doing a job nobody wants to (usually)

Doughnut in British English, donut in American English.

That is incorrect. Whoever told you that made it up. "Doughnut" is the proper spelling. Region has nothing to do with it. Spelling it like "donut" is no better than shortening "through" to "thru". The reason these bastardized shorter versions of these words even exist is because people are becoming too impatient and lazy to use the full spellings. The internet has not been helping recently either. Call me old fashioned, but I would like to help preserve these proper English spellings as much as I am able to during my lifetime. Too bad English is going to the dogs because of laziness. I don't mean to make a stink, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine.
