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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Just because you guys are the same age and have the same name doesn't mean you are the same person. I'm pretty sure your employers will understand

You decided to act like a know-it-all and repeatedly correct people even after several people told you you were wrong. Then, when we FINALLY managed to make you realize you were wrong, you tried to use that as an excuse. Nuh-uh. Just admit you were wrong and move on.

Hi

My daughter is 3 and her father is a truck driver so he isn't around much. If you really were tired, and knew better, you wouldn't have tried to correct people when we proved you were wrong

Hire a professional, Black Market hacker to take that bitch's Twitter account down. Orrrr just explain it to your interviewer. Whichever one is a fine idea. That is IF they even Googled you. Good luck.

lI was on the British Gas website today and they informed me that getting a refund 'may effect my future payments'. It makes me sad to see poor grammar being used in a professional environment, especially with a company as big as British Gas.

The horse is dead, stop flogging it already! I admitted I was wrong and owned up to my mistake. So what, because I didn't do it quick enough, I got reamed by a group of crusaders who dismissed my sleep deprived brain misfires as invalid inept excuses? I apologise profusely and thank you all for this enlightening experience. Please help yourself to an arsenic cookie on your way out.

Explain that it's not you and if you have your own account prove it to them.

Just be up front and let them know that when they check you, that is out there and it's not you. I've hired hundreds of people.... Employers understand. There are jerks online that have the same name as them as well!! Don't sweat it!!
