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

Why would you say no because of their computer background?

Dang, can I have her number? I'd put up with Dumb Direction for that smart of a brain. :-p

lets be honest you said no because she wasn't hot.

Why do you assume that she wasn't attractive?

You said no because of her background and music preferences. She's doing law, she's obviously not an idiot.

Sorry, OP, but YDI for saying no only because of her background and music preferences. This was your fault, music isn't objective, it's subjective. You say 'no' because you assume the person with the 1D fan is an idiot but later find out stuff like this? Yeah, your fault for assuming because she liked a band, she couldn't be intelligent.

YDI for being so judgemental! Hopefully a life lesson for you OP!

Why would you think that because she likes a certain music group that she's unintelligent? You really shouldn't make assumptions like that. As long as she doesn't play One Direction around you and make you listen to it, I don't see the problem.
