Today, a girl with a picture of One Direction as her desktop asked if I wanted to partner with her on a 70% law assignment. Two hours after saying no, I found out that she's a legal genius with a guaranteed job in the field and a near perfect GPA. FML

Today, I was passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. FML

Today, my sister and I heard back from a job we both applied to. I had used the knowledge from my MBA degree to write a six-page essay for the application, while she just copied and pasted hers from a random website. Guess who got the job. FML

Today, I had an epic, two-hour conversation with a brilliant, beautiful future leader of our industry. She's an intern. I'm just some loser horndog of a senior manager in another department. FML

Today, it's the third time this year I was recommended to meet someone because we're "so smart, we'll get along." At dinner, this person complimented how I'd do great in their graduate course on data science. I helped develop the degree program. I can't believe I missed pinball for this. FML

Today, I joined a dating website and spent all day filling out and improving my profile. My first match is a guy who relentlessly tried to date me for all 4 years of high school. Now he just has more reasons to tell me how much we're meant to be. We're a 97% match. FML

Come on, the only reason to refuse someone is if they were your mortal enemy... or someone notorious for not helping in assigments. Not music tastes.

That's what you get for judging someone based on what they like as an individual. Serves you right.

I can only assume that the "One Direction" desktop screen is a deterent for pick-ups. Personally, I invent my own as a deterent. Working in IT, having a home screen worthy of the mood you are in can lead to some interesting theories about social evasion. Props to the genius.

Wow, could you be any more of a snob? It's possible that she actually enjoys One Direction. Just because she's highly intelligent doesn't mean she's using a stupid strategy to avoid other people.

Why would you judge someone on the music they like? definitely YDI

YDI. Don't judge a person based on ONE band they like. I honestly don't care too much for them myself, but geeze. Are people REALLY sure that 1D fans are the bad ones?
