Today, I got a job offer and was asked to come in at 5am for training. I sat there for about 2 hours before giving up. I was at the wrong site. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML
Today, I was told to be at a job site bright and early. I woke up and pounded several body smashing drinks to get going. They then called to tell me work was canceled due to weather. It's 6am. I can’t get back to sleep. FML
Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML
Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10:05. When I got there, someone was talking to them, so I sat down to wait. Little did I know this wait would be 45 minutes. I got told to go home and that I'd be rescheduled. FML
Today, I got up at 3:15 a.m. to be ready for work at 5 a.m. I get to my work station to find absolutely no work to do. After talking with my boss, I was sent home with no pay. If I'd been employed there 3 weeks longer, I would've been paid for 4 hours. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, I started a new yard maintenance job. Before the day had even ended, I got fired, because I apparently didn’t have enough experience, and I moved too slowly. It was supposed to be my training day. 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, five hours into my shift, I found out that I had been given the day off. They just forgot to tell me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You didn't think to ask anyone what was going on?

You’re better than the OP. You may have commented on the wrong story, but at least, you came to the right site!

There wasn’t anyone there! He probably went to a dilapidated factory, squatted down on his haunches and twiddled his thumbs for two hours.

Attention to detail not really your strong suit? That entry-level crap is for worker bees anyways. Your “blunder” is actually a power move to get you in to the executive ranks immediately.

I waited 50 minutes to go on a ride and then it closed for maintenance while I was in the coaster, about to take off. I had to get off the ride. It opened 10 minutes later and I wasn't allowed to go to the front of the queue.

OP was not specific on whether it was his fault for being at the wrong site or if he was told the wrong instructions as to which site to show up at. If he went to the wrong one, he has nobody to blame but himself, but if it is the latter, I hope that the company realized their mistake and won't penalize him for it.
