Today, I was playing Dance Dance Revolution in an arcade when a woman came up and asked me if playing it was my job. I laughed but then realized that it is actually the closest thing I have to a job. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was dancing in a club when some manager told me to stop messing around and get back on stage or I’m not getting paid. I think he thought I worked for him. I was in jeans and a glittery vest, all the dancers were in booty shorts and bikini tops. What the hell, my guy? FML
Today, my boss caught me singing and dancing in the office when I thought no one was around. Trying to save face, I told him I was just practicing for a team-building event. He smiled and said, "Great, you can lead the next one." Now I have to choreograph a team-building dance. FML
Today, I was hanging out with some disabled people at the day-centre where I work. We had the music blasting and were laughing and dancing around. My boss took me aside and said that it wasn't really appropriate for me to mock the clients by imitating their dancing. That's just how I dance. FML
Today, I realized I might lose my job because some asshole customer complained about me to my district manager. His complaint? Girls can't work at video game stores. My DM agreed. FML
Today, I was working at Old Navy. A girl came up to me and did a bizarre dance. Not knowing how to react, I imitated her to be friendly with the customer. Then she stopped cold. Her friend stormed up to me and yelled, "You jerk! Why are you making fun of her? She has Tourette's, you know!" FML
Today, the person that interviewed me for a job was the same person I called a "fat bitch" at a baseball game after she knocked over my drink while she was dancing. She recognized me too. FML
Today, my mother told her friends that I work as a call girl. I'm a call center agent. FML
Today, I was at a local restaurant. When I went to pay my bill, one of the owners jokingly said, "Are you here to apply for a job?" Since I've been unemployed for a while and trying to find work, I said, "What would you like me to do?" She replied, "That was a rhetorical question." I knew it. FML
Today, I was so bored at my job as a receptionist that I actually got excited when the phone rang. FML
Today, I was playing a virtual reality game at a gaming convention. I got so into it that I didn't realize I was screaming and flailing around in. A crowd had gathered to watch my dumbass embarrass myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Solution: dance for a living.

She was probably giving him a compliment on his dance moves.

"dance dance, Revolution, Revolution, get ready" Edit: quoting Gabriel Iglesias from his Hot and fluffy special.

Aren't there competitions for DDR? Since you play so often, you might as well try and make some money out of it. Better than just constantly spending your money at the arcade.

You're unemployed. Looking for a job should be the closest thing you have to a job. Maybe if you put as much effort onto finding a job as you do into DDR, the closest thing you have to a job would be an actual job. Just saying.

You clearly haven't tried getting a job lately, do you know hard it can be to get a job?!

Yes. All the more reason OP should spend less time at the arcade, and more time putting in applications. I wouldn't be so judgmental of OP hadn't compared DDR to a job. That tells me he spends way too much time doing it.

She has seen your dance moves and liked them... Ask if she would like to see your other moves.
