Today, I interviewed for my dream job. Everything was going great until the interviewer asked, "So, what's your least favorite race?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally got an interview with my dream company. Everything went perfectly until the interviewer asked if I had any questions. I tried to say, "What do you enjoy most about working here?" Instead, I somehow asked, "Why do you still work here?" FML
Today, after months of unemployment, I got an interview. It went great until the recruiter asked if I had questions. Trying to sound thoughtful, I asked, "What do employees dislike most about working here?" The recruiter laughed and said, "That's a unique way to phrase that." I spent the rest of the interview wondering why my brain chose violence at the worst possible moment. FML
Today, in this horrible job market, I finally got an interview with a dream company. But like the dumbass I am, I mentioned my baby in the interview and got the "look" from the interviewer. Bye bye yet another job. 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 had a job interview, for which I spent hours preparing. My interviewer was nothing more than a pimple-faced teen, and after only two minutes of reviewing my qualifications, he lost interest and started asking such questions as which Hogwarts house is my favorite. FML
Today, during a job interview, the interviewer asked me to "tell me a little about myself." Nervous, I started with, "Well, I was born at a very young age…" I'm pretty sure I won’t get the job. FML
Today, during a job interview, I spent an eternity telling them everything about my experience, my character, my passions, and my previous jobs. Next thing I know, the recruiter said, “Now let’s get to the part where you tell us something about yourself!” FML
Today, I had a job interview that I really wanted to nail. Everything was great until the interviewer asked me why I left my last job. I meant to say, "I felt it was time for a new challenge," but instead I said, "I felt tired of pretending to care." The look on their face was priceless. Needless to say, but I don't think I'll get the job. FML
Today, I went to a job interview and tried to break the ice by making a joke. In doing so, I accidentally insulted the interviewer’s favorite football team. He spent the next 10 minutes explaining why I was wrong. FML
Today, I had my first job interview for eight months. My interviewer noticeably yawned during my reply to the first question. FML

"Well, I'd have to say the 100 meter freestyle. Everyone just uses the front crawl stroke, so I don't really get to shine with this hybrid breaststroke/butterfly stroke I created as a child and spent years mastering."

Hurdles. You don't jump quite high enough one time and BAM! You get caught on the hurdle and break your nose.

The Kentucky derby! It's only one lap, that's it. There's nothing exciting about it! It's one lap and people absolutely go bonkers for it

I as well would have said the Kentucky Derby.

The Oxford / Cambridge boat race all the way for me.

The Kentucky Derby. I don't know why they refer to the horses as "athletes," considering they never chose to get into this line of work. Or you could be really nihilistic and say the human race.

Any of those individual medley swimming races or the decathlon/heptathlon. I want to see the specialists who are the best in the world at their events, and not generalists who are pretty good at many different ones.
