Today, I was walking to a job interview. I needed to get rid of some gum but there were no trash cans in sight, so I spat it out on the ground. Next thing I know, some guy grabs me, sticks the gum in my hair, and walks off, muttering curses. I couldn't get it out in time for the interview. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I noticed a cute girl in the checkout lane at the store. Feeling a little flirtatious, I decided to blow a bubble with my gum to get her attention. I accidentally shot the gum out of my mouth onto the guy next to me, spitting all over myself in the process. FML
Today, I was about to make out with my boyfriend, so I quickly swallowed my gum. Moments later, I started choking on the gum, and ended up spitting it out into his face. FML
Today, in an effort to avoid my school's strict no-gum policy as my teacher made a b-line to me, I swallowed it. By the time the teacher reached me, the gum was on my desk, as well as my breakfast, thanks to my overactive gag reflex. FML
Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I was offered coffee and a donut. It was going well until I took a bite of the donut and started choking on it. I coughed so hard I ended up vomiting into his garbage can. FML
Today, I rushed to a job interview, but my cat rubbed against me, covering my suit in fur. I grabbed a lint roller, tripped over the cat, and knocked out a front tooth. I showed up sweaty, disheveled, and missing a tooth. I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, while getting ready for a job interview, I sneezed while brushing my teeth, splattering toothpaste everywhere and ruining my brand new dress. FML
Today, was my first day of work in my life. I was excited, and so was my dad, who saw me to the door and ruffled my hair as he wished me luck. I didn't notice until half an hour after arriving at work that he'd stuck his gum in my hair. Nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Today, I rode the public bus. When I got off, I put my hood up only to discover that the old man who sat behind me had used my hood as a trashcan for his gum and used Kleenex. I can't get the gum out of my hair. FML
Today, I choked on my saliva during a medical interview. FML
Today, I was on the phone with a client, when the gum I was casually chewing fell out of my mouth and down my shirt. While I was trying to dig it out, two of our newest customers walked into the lobby to see what looked like me fondling my breasts. FML

That guy was a huge asshole. You should've waited until you were near a can for sure, but you definitely didn't deserve to be manhandled from behind by a stranger!!

How about being manhandled from the front by a stranger?

And nobody else deserves to step in gum on their way to an interview. Maybe OP needed to be mishandled so that maybe they won't be so inconsiderate in the future. You know.. learn a little something about manners.

Think people are forgetting that there were no trash cans around and OP just didn't randomly decide to spit it out on the floor. By the way it sounds, OP probably spent much time looking for a trash can and couldn't find one. While I think they should've swallowed the gum, OP didn't deserve to get manhandles. Just because someone does something frowned upon doesn't mean they "need some manhandling" or any physical action taken. There's this thing called talking? Actually spending some god damn time instead of resorting to something as trashy as violence?

So, did they chewse you for the job?

don't litter it usually ends up on the bottom of someone else's shoe to ruin their day.

Why so many ydi's? Sure, she shouldn't have littered but that's absolutely no reason for any man to feel like he has the right to touch a woman without her permission. Period. Way to blame the victim, assholes.

But OP still didn't deserve to have gum put in her hair. Spitting the gum out obviously wasn't the best solution of course, but how much of an asshole do you have to be to put gum in a random persons hair?

I'm a feminist, but it hardly applies to the situation. "blaming the victim"? Seriously? I can't tell you how many times I've had to scrape gum off my shoe because some asshole couldn't be bothered to wrap it up with a paper or receipt, swallow it, or actually find a trash can (bc I'm sure op could have if she really looked). So please don't make this a social rights issue when it clearly isn't.

Found the sexist feminazi. I CAN NOT STAND PEOPLE LIKE YOU. Gender wasn't even an issue in this situation FFS!

Clicked both 'YDI' And 'FYL' You deserved it for throwing it on the ground although I can not talk as I have previously done this ( hangs head in shame) but also FYL as you did not deserve to be treated like that.... Hope you was able to get the gum out your hair in the end OP

YDI. There is a 99% chance that there was one inside the building. And in the off chance that there wasn't, you could've hidden it under your tongue or swallowed it.

Better than it sticking to someone else's shoe. YDI

that's why you save the gum wrapper.

You should have walked into the interview, pointed at the gum and said "public transportation" and laughed. Interview = aced

I find it disturbing that a stranger would pick up someone's discarded gum. I can hardly handle touching my own chewed gum.
