Today, at work, I decided to make things more interesting, so when I called people I used a fake accent. As I was using an Australian accent, the person I was talking to asked me where in Australia I was from. I desperately replied, "Where the kangaroos are..." I'm now jobless. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while working alone, I decided to just try some random impressions, and so I ended up doing a French accent when a customer walked in. To avoid embarrassment, I had to continue faking the accent as he struck up a long conversation with me. FML
Today, I missed multiple calls from the company I applied to. That was the supervisor calling, wanting to hire me. I then remembered my idiotic voicemail I made months ago where I pretended to answer and say stupid stuff for 5 minutes. I don't think I'm going to get the job. FML
Today, while on my break at work, my workmates convinced me to perform my "Indian accent" piece. Everyone laughed while I was doing it. Everyone, that is, but my Indian boss. FML
Today, after returning to the UK from my Australian holiday, I was fired from my job for no reason. My boss told me he'd waited till I'd returned to do it. I could have stayed in Australia with my mates traveling for a year if I had been fired before I left. I'm sure he did it on purpose. FML
Today, the company offering the job position that I've been applying for called me up. I wasn't there to answer so they got redirected to my voice mail in which I'm acting like a drunk David Hasselhoff chewing on a cheeseburger. They called me 5 times. FML
Today, I handed my resume in to a cafe that was hiring. I returned home and noticed a voicemail, it was one from the boss for a trial. I eagerly returned the call, showing my enthusiasm. Without thinking, I ended with "ok love you. *GASP* ah, BYE" and quickly hung up. FML
Today, I got called for a job interview. I didn't catch where it was, and in my excitement I forgot to ask. I now have no idea where I'm being interviewed. FML
Today, I was volunteering at a zoo event for special needs kids. My job was to dress up in a kangaroo costume and greet the kids. One kid came up and said, "You're not real!" and kicked me in the nuts. FML
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea for me to talk with a British accent during my job interview to make me sound smarter. I'm applying for a job at McDonald's. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML

Crickey mate, a wild, jobless telemarketah, watch as it attempts to wallow in sorrow with alchohol.

Seriously some people need to have some respect for their job. You know how many of us are desperately looking for one? You know how lucky you are?

Excuse me, Mr. Geographically Challenged, you couldn't think of Sydney, Melbourne or Perth. You deserve to be fired for being a moron.

Should have said Dubbo. It's somewhere everybody has heard of but not many have been to.

Maybe this wasn't the first time he's done something like this and his boss got tired of his constant fuckery.

Could have said Wagga Wagga, it's a hard name to forget. But seriously, you deserve it 100%. 1. For insulting Australians & 2. For being a smart ass at work.

That'd be like me pretending I'm from America & saying "The place where the guns are." Stereotyping isn't funny.
redmane 21
A more common stereotype is the percentage of obese and overweight Americans. It is saddening, really. There are guns everywhere, legal or not. Most people know this and probably wouldn't stereotype us as "the place where the guns are."
AliceLockehart 18
That's a good point. I was just using it as an example. Whenever I see anything on the news about America, it's almost always something about gun control, so I could assume that all Americans own guns but it'd be ignorant of me.

This one made me laugh.
