Today, I let out a huge fart during a job interview. I was the one conducting the interview. FML

Good job
Today, at a job interview, my interviewer excused himself to use the bathroom, so I took the chance to let out a tiny fart I'd been holding in. That tiny fart filled the whole room. When he came back, the guy literally stopped dead in his tracks and recoiled at the stench. Doubt I'll get that job. FML

Today, I went to a really important job interview. During it, I accidentally let out a burp, came down with nervous hiccups, and when I tried to quietly ease out some painful gas that was building up, it came out as a massive, rancid fart. I'll definitely be unemployed for a while yet. FML

Too trusting
Today, I made the major mistake of trusting a fart during a job interview. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job. FML

Today, I had a job interview. The interviewer blatantly farted as I sat down, then she sneered, "Making yourself comfortable, I see..." FML

Nerves
Today, I had a job interview. I stopped to take a pee in the lobby before I went in. I relaxed a bit too much at the urinal and accidentally farted. I chuckled about it like a 5 year-old for a few seconds. The guy who had been next to me at the urinal was the interviewer. FML

Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML

Recruitment hell
Today, while interviewing a potential candidate for a job, I farted during a moment of silence. Trying to cover it up, I blurted out, "Wow, this chair is squeaky!" The candidate just stared at me, and I'm pretty sure their chances of getting the job squeaked away, because I couldn't bear seeing them every day after that. FML

That one special feeling
Today, I went to a job interview, and halfway through my perfectly rehearsed answers, my stomach started growling loudly. I tried to keep calm, but then it let out the most embarrassing noise I’ve ever heard. The interviewer paused what he was saying, then said, "Are you hungry or do you need to fart?" FML

The trumpet of success
Today, I went to an interview for a job I really wanted and am qualified for. I've been looking for months. This job was perfect; close to home and great pay. Needless to say I spent quite a while preparing. Everything was going great until I had to sneeze, which forced out a loud, long fart. FML

Well, look on the bright side. You outrank them, so they should regard you with respect anyway.

Where's the problem? Your job doesn't depend on that fart.

Just say that it was part of the interview; a test to see how the job candidate would handle an unexpected, awkward situation with a senior staff. Honestly, it would have been much worse if you were the interviewee. If you're that bothered I guess you could just not hire the candidate. I wouldn't recommend that though.

you could basically poop on your desk and they would probably still want the job. I'm glad you care about appearance but it's not really an fml.

34, I am sure your body is absolutely perfect right? Insult her shitty comment if you want. Weight has nothing to do with wit.

Interviews can be very hard for some people and nerve-racking. Way to break the tension bud! You rock. Haha, how could you not laugh if in this situation. Either party.

Exactly! If I was being interviewed for a job and the interviewer farted I would instantly be more comfortable. Maybe a little perturbed by the smell but I think in general it would definitely lighten the mood.

It's ok OP. The guy probably was so nervous during the interview that he probably thought he did it without knowing

What a twist!

At least you weren't the one being interviewed. That would have sucked...

Claim it's a legitimate interview technique. You want to see how the prospective employee deals with challenging social situations.

Was maturity part of the interview?

Sometimes they accidentally slip out at the most inopportune moments. Plus , this would have helped the interviewee relax, unless they were a humourless sort.
