Today, I googled myself in preparation for my upcoming job interview. Turns out there's a girl on Twitter with my name and age who tweets nonstop about getting wasted and being on probation. She won't make her profile private. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found my daughter on Facebook after years of looking for her after the divorce. It turns out it was my ex pretending to be my daughter so she could track me down. FML
Today, a guy asked for my number at a party. As I was entering my number into his phone, my name and a picture of me popped up. I'm afraid I just met my stalker. FML
Today, I found out that mishearing my boss and laughing at what I thought he said can make him think I'm high and nearly force me to submit to a drug test. FML
Today, I was searched and questioned at the airport for having an apple. FML
Today, my wife, who has a drinking problem, looked me straight in the eye as she poured herself a "water" bottle to enjoy while at work. FML
Today, I showed by ID to get into a bar and the bouncer kept it because he said it wasn't me. It was. Apparently I've gained so much weight I am unrecognizable. FML
Today, a girl in my class introduced herself to me for the fourth time this semester. Am I really that invisible? FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, my crazy ex-girlfriend legally changed her last name to mine. I'm getting married in a week. FML
Today, the guy I was seeing texted me a photo back of myself I had sent him earlier, saying I'm such a beautiful woman, suggesting that I set it as my profile pic. Too bad he doesn't think I'm pretty enough without a lot of enhancements, because he photoshopped the hell out of that thing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Any employer that's dumb enough to think there's only one person in the world with your name is an employer you don't want to work for anyway.

I'm sure you could explain the situation to employers

I hope you washed your hands after you googled yourself. ;-) Seriously. You can explain it to your prospective employer. Also, there are probably images, none of which are you, I assume. I had a similar problem trying to get a home loan and didn't have an issue once I explained to the bank.

they Google you like that for home loans.. that's just too far.. sorry your credit checks out but your use of hashtags on Facebook is just unacceptable. loan denied!

I'm pretty sure employers go a bit further than just googling someone's name.

What? Why would being the same gender have to do with not being able to identify who OP is? Unless this other girl happens to be the identical twin of OP and has everything the same, I don't see how she can be easily mistaken based on being a female.

Pictures are the answer! same name different face

The sad thing is that once they find out how much fun this girl is, they'll probably want to hire her. How disappointed they'll be to find out this party goddess shares a name with a goody two-shoes buzzkill.

I find it sad and slightly unnerving that someone who is out on probation and constantly getting wasted is considered to be a party goddess.

It's called sarcasm my dear

Totally unrelated #18, but as someone whose mother tongue isn't english, I am in awe of the way you phrased this. Plus I learned a word.

#37, wouldn't you find it sadder that a party girl would get a job over one who "plays by the rules?" The saddest thing of all is that you're getting wound up about my obviously absurd comment. Chillax!

45 it's called youth in the world today. Perdixs' comment isn't a far cry from plausible...

54 indeed, I would find that sad and greatly demotivational. I'm not getting wound up about your comment, I have a solid grasp of the sarcastic and absurd. I have never faked a sarcasm in my life nor do I intend to start now. I find your comment about as antagonistic as a homemade cupcake with vanilla icing and chocolate sprinkles.

"...faked a sarcasm..." That isn't even a thing. That's not- I'm not even gonna argue.

If you have a twitter, just tell the employer the right twitter and let them know of the bad twitter.

Well stop getting so wasted.

I'm sure your employer will understand if you explain that it's not you. On a different note, why the hell would someone openly tweet about being wasted and being on probation to everyone?

Probably a delinquent that thinks it's "cool".

could've been worse! she could've been on MySpace!

Just claim that it's not you. If you are lying, your pre-employment drug screen will expose you. Is there anything you want to tell us?
