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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 went to an interview for a job at a company I've applied for numerous times this year. When I showed up at the interview room, I found it was a vacant office. I called and confirmed the address. I guess this was my hint to stop applying. FML
Today, I had my first job interview in ages. I went in early, but instead of anyone telling me, they waited for the manager to come and get mad at me because it was supposed to be an online interview. I apologized and we went ahead with the interview, but she seemed disinterested and annoyed. I don’t think I got the job. FML
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, in this horrible job market, I finally got an interview with a dream company. But like the dumbass I am, I mentioned my baby in the interview and got the "look" from the interviewer. Bye bye yet another job. FML
Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML
Today, I went into a store for an interview. I've had several places wanting to talk to me and this job was a lot lower paying. I got a little cocky and when offered the job, I said I wanted some time to finish my other interviews first and see what my options were. The manager then took back his offer. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I really wanted to nail. Everything was great until the interviewer asked me why I left my last job. I meant to say, "I felt it was time for a new challenge," but instead I said, "I felt tired of pretending to care." The look on their face was priceless. Needless to say, but I don't think I'll get the job. 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

I had this happen to me once and got the job, people often have things on their mind I wouldn't count yourself out yet!

He was probably so interested in you that his mind could not handle the extreme exposure and had to dart off to avoid overheating.

She really shouldn't count herself out. She's just one ride in a time machine away from going back two days (or so) before this was published and OWNING that interview!

The manager might just be having an off day? it doesn't mean you didn't get the job, so keep your hopes up!

He was thinking of breasts and oreos.

Some people have ADD (attention deficit disorder)... Even if you don't get this particular job, don't let it rattle your confidence. There will be other opportunities for you, so keep your chin up!

It's reasons like this that I stopped taking interviews held at night during which I'd have to sit above the interviewer, looking down at them.

Keep your chin up op :) It isn't over until it's over. If that interviewee couldn't be bothered to show common courteousy (wether interested or not) then you might've found yourself in a worse position in the job then before. There's a lot of opportunity out there.

So losing your apartment and facing homelessness is better than having a crappy job and an apartment?

Keep your professional stature & dignity no matter what. You never know how far that can carry you

He's probably an INTP and he zoned out.
