Today, at a job interview, my interviewer excused himself to use the bathroom, so I took the chance to let out a tiny fart I'd been holding in. That tiny fart filled the whole room. When he came back, the guy literally stopped dead in his tracks and recoiled at the stench. Doubt I'll get that job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I let out a huge fart during a job interview. I was the one conducting the interview. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I stopped to take a pee in the lobby before I went in. I relaxed a bit too much at the urinal and accidentally farted. I chuckled about it like a 5 year-old for a few seconds. The guy who had been next to me at the urinal was the interviewer. FML
Today, I went to a really important job interview. During it, I accidentally let out a burp, came down with nervous hiccups, and when I tried to quietly ease out some painful gas that was building up, it came out as a massive, rancid fart. I'll definitely be unemployed for a while yet. FML
Today, while interviewing a potential candidate for a job, I farted during a moment of silence. Trying to cover it up, I blurted out, "Wow, this chair is squeaky!" The candidate just stared at me, and I'm pretty sure their chances of getting the job squeaked away, because I couldn't bear seeing them every day after that. FML
Today, I had a job interview. The interviewer blatantly farted as I sat down, then she sneered, "Making yourself comfortable, I see..." FML
Today, I made the major mistake of trusting a fart during a job interview. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, I went to a job interview, and halfway through my perfectly rehearsed answers, my stomach started growling loudly. I tried to keep calm, but then it let out the most embarrassing noise I’ve ever heard. The interviewer paused what he was saying, then said, "Are you hungry or do you need to fart?" FML
Today, I went to an interview for a job I really wanted and am qualified for. I've been looking for months. This job was perfect; close to home and great pay. Needless to say I spent quite a while preparing. Everything was going great until I had to sneeze, which forced out a loud, long fart. FML
Today, I was alone at the office. Having held it in all day, I let out the longest, worst-smelling fart of my life. The owner of the company, investigating the odd noise, opened my office door. When the stench hit him, he walked backwards all the way to his office, staring at me, in silence. FML
Today, while waiting for my job interview to start, I tried to slip out a silent fart. It ended with shit running down my leg. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're supposed to tout your strengths in an interview...but you shouldn't literally toot your own horn.

At least you can interview at Exxon now. You know everything about gas.

Should've waited until the interview was over. YDI

Passing gas is a natural thing. And it's not like you can always control when you need to fart. It's unfortunate that it smelt, but people need to stop acting like farting is such a bad thing. At least OP tried not to let it affect the interviewer.

Agreed. My primary school teacher used to yell at whoever farted in class for 'not controlling their body'. I always thought that was ******* stupid, sometimes they just slip! Personally I think OP was being considerate by choosing to hold the fart until the interviewer left.

Problem is that it is disgusting, i don't want to smell other peoples butts! That's why we don't fart in public, no one wants to smell that

No one wants to go around smelling people's farts, but sometimes it happens. You've never had a time where you had a has bubble that hurt so bad you needed to fart to release the pressure. You'd rather suffer in agony than maybe offend someone by farting?

I think it can actually kill you if you hold it in.

A fart is a normal bodily function, it shouldn't stop you from getting the job if you meet all the other requirements.

They might get the job but might not want to, out of embarrassment

Why didn't you just go to the bathroom when he went? At least then you could have farted in there and it wouldn't have been weird.

you might not get the job, but at least you got rid of the gass.

Real question is why didn't the interviewer wait until after the interview... You must have been boring him OP

When you gotta go, you gotta go...

Some people have medical issues that prevent it. A former boss of mine has an enlarged prostate and he went VERY often. He flat COULD NOT wait. Also, someone prone to UTIs should not risk an infection to avoid inconveniencing someone. When you gotta go, you gotta go, and every single person can relate. Nothing wrong with having people wait just a few moments.

You also could have opened the door beforehand.

Always poop before an interview or a meeting!! Then if you fart it won't stink. At least for most.
nonsensical 26
Is that really how it works?? Why am I learning this just now??! Time to put it to the test...
_Adog2645 24
OH MY GOD! YOU PREFORMED A NORMAL BODILY FUNCTION?! YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET ANOTHER JOB AGAIN! But seriously, why would that keep you from getting the job? Everyone farts. You just did it at a pretty bad time...

Because its not only rude but unprofessional? Professionalism at an interview is a must!
MandieL 27
You've never had one slip out? Or such bad pressure that it hurt to keep it in. Sometimes it happens. At least OP tried to do it while the interviewer wasn't in the room.
