Today, I went to a job interview at a small family-owned business. After the interview, the owner's son took me into his office and told me I'm not getting the job and to get out, because apparently, the old man thinks I'm "possessed by a demon". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML
Today, I had a job interview at a local business with the owner who was man, and the manager who was a woman. I thought I did pretty well because I heard the manager whisper so, as I was walking out. Then I heard the owner whisper, "No fat chicks." FML
Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." FML
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
Today, I went to a job interview. I really needed the job to keep my apartment. As I was being interviewed, the manager looked past me and stared off into space. There goes the job and my apartment. FML
Today, desperate for work, I went into a shop and asked the owner if he had any spare jobs to fill. He looked me up and down and sneered, "Yes, but not for people like... you." FML
Today, at work, a man punched me in the face because he said I took his son's job. He meant both me and his son applied for the same job. He also asked to speak to my boss, because he thinks I "cheated." FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Today, I found out why the only business in town that operates in my chosen industry won’t hire me. Several months ago, my father antagonised the owner, bringing up my name in the process. I haven’t spoken to the man in five years. FML
Today, I had a babysitting job. When I got there, the parents were rushing out the door and told me they'd left instructions for the kids on the table. The first bullet point stated that the oldest was convinced she is possessed by the devil, but just to ignore it. Three more hours to go. FML

You should sue! Demonic Possession is clearly covered by the Americans with Disabilites Act. He has to hire you and keep your office at 900 degrees to accommodate your demon.

Maybe you should find an exorcist...

Well it's better not to work for a weirdo anyway right??

It depends, did you come wearing all black and spoke in tounges during the interview?

I wasn't even sure business's could discriminate against people with demon possessions. Might want to look into making that an affirmative action hire.
ucoolgirl31 20
Oh this company make NC look bad...

Figures this would take place in America, hat a load of god fearing rednecks

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

OP as soon as they told you that you weren't being hired cause of that you should of been like I am possessed and ran out the business screaming and acting crazy.

No he should tell the boss that he can't be fired as the demon in him will surely be pissed at the boss then.

Classic
Amethyst888 14
And how is that classic exactly? Do all the job interviews you go on end with them telling you that you didn't get the job because they thought you were possessed by demons?
Idonebeenhad 17
His attempt at getting the first comment by writing the shittiest comment ever is classic.
SolanumX 6
41 and 73, let's talk about sarcasm in respect to the above comment. Nothing about this is classic, you are correct, so is it that hard of a stretch to think he said that as an ironic statement? I'm not saying the comment was comedic gold or anything, but I can see the humor in deeming something off the wall "classic."
mswim 27
I believe his post was meant for the last commenter on #1's post. Remember u can go back and change what u write in ur posts.

106- considering he made the post 5 hours before the post you are referring to I find that highly unlikely.

What do you expect from old people
moodi_fml 0
I hope OP finds a job in a competing business and show the old man that he was WRONG
THE_A_TEEN 28
^I'm not sure that is what is expected from old people. Try again.
onlychildFTW 34
Well old people from hillbilly states are like that. Really and ages hillbilly is like that. Like duck dynasty is an example.
raraisbang 12
Actually, I live in West Monroe, Louisiana and the people on duck dynasty are normal people. Most of the stuff on that show is staged.
KawiRacer69 5
@onlychild, sorry but old people from hillbilly states do not say that shit. old people that believe god is everything say that shit

81 There is a reason the Bible Belt goes through the south.
raraisbang 12
As previously stated, I obviously live in the south and I don't know anyone who would say something like that, much less deny someone a job for being "possessed by demons." Stereotypical people who have never been to the south are so silly ;D
JayJayAttackAtta 5
65, I'm in southern Arkansas. That's as southern and hillbilly as you can get. My town is 98% rednecks and farmers. Still, I've yet to hear of any store owner from here denying someone a job for demonic possession.
onlychildFTW 34
FYI, I'm keeping my stereotype of southern hillbilly view. I believe that family guy gave me the true life down there when meg went into whitness protection.
raraisbang 12
Then to put it bluntly... You are a ******* dumbass. Seriously. :D Backing up your beliefs with a family guy episode more than proves my point.

I can't even imagine how you acted to give him that impression. :/

It's probably something stupid that only old people care about like tattoos.
kamikrazy 6
Yea because the first thing people do at job interviews is to act in a cohesive manner.

Some people don't realize how they come off to others.

LOL
tnttse 6
you probably shouldn't have put 'speaking in tongues' as one of your abilities.
SolanumX 6
Just throwing this out there: tattoos are looked down upon by more than just old people. Respectable employers in general consider it a bad thing.
ProhibitionRose 14
96- you're very wrong. Most places of employment don't care if you have tattoos as long as they aren't offensive. They usually just ask that you keep them covered.

ahh old people and their superstitions

Count yourself lucky, imagine working for that weirdo

Lol good reason
THE_A_TEEN 28
If you're applying to a job with an old man spraying holy water on you and yelling "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU", you're going to have a bad time.
THE_A_TEEN 28
DAMN! I didn't want that to be a reply!

SOS actually doesn't stand for anything, it's just easy to tap out in Morse.
FrankHotpants 31
Actually sir, the code SOS comes from ye olde nautical days were sailors used it as a distress meaning Save Our Ship.

#110 Actually, you are wrong. He was right when he said that. It is extremely easy to tap out in morse.
