Today, I had a job interview at a café. The interviewer asked me my availability and I told her that I was fully flexible. She laughed and said, "Really? That's tragic." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML
Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." 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, I called a possible employer I had an interview with about a week ago to see if I had got the job that I have already been trained for. Her response? "Are you sure I interviewed you?" FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. 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, while interviewing for a job, I had to read over the physical requirements for the job. Later on, she asked me how flexible I was. Trying to keep a straight face, I told her I was more flexible while I was playing sports but could work on it if I need to. She was talking about work hours. 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 went to a job interview. I really needed the job to keep my apartment. As I was being interviewed, the manager looked past me and stared off into space. There goes the job and my apartment. FML
Today, during a job interview, I was asked to describe myself in three words. My mind went blank, so I panicked and blurted out, “Hungry, sleepy and… flexible?” The interviewer raised an eyebrow and said, “That's not the worst answer I've ever gotten but… come on.” I didn’t get the job. FML

Maybe she has a sense of humor and would be fun to work with... or a total bitch.

Shouldn't she be happy? Employers want people who have flexible schedules.

To quote a movie I once tried to write... 'Don't say I can't put it there. Now I /only/ want to put it there!'

That seems rather rude and unprofessional of her. Don't feel bad, OP. Most employers love employees who are willing to come in whenever needed.

What a bitch. I would want to work there now. Good luck though on finding a job.

I was sitting here wondering how physical flexability would be a bad thing, then after a couple minutes I realized that isnt what was meant.

I feel like she was honestly trying to crack a joke. Maybe so you wouldn't be nervous for the interview? Either way, I'm digging her sense of humor and I totally would've laughed at that. Sarcastic, dry humor is the best.

Maybe OP is sensitive at her lack of social life and it's a huge insecurity for her and comments like that could knock her into a crippling depression--aaaahhhhh, you're right! It's hilarious!

She's making a bit of an assumption there. I, for example, work 12-15 hours a day, but I'm still completely flexible because for the most part I don't have actual scheduled meetings, I'm just working on a Ph.D. thesis every waking second.
