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

YDI for spitting it on the ground (if there really isn't a trash can anywhere, just swallow it? I do it all the time.) but also FYL, he shouldn't have reacted that way and it sucks that it was such bad timing right before the interview.

What the guy did was a bit much but what OP did was wrong too. If there was no trash can around or you didn't have any scrap of paper, you should've kept it until you can reach either one, not spit it on the ground.

Holy hell, so many people saying you deserve it OP, but just ignore them. EVERYONE has done that before, and there is no way in hell spitting gum out makes you deserving of assault.

While I hardly think it warranted an assault, spitting it on the ground is disgusting. I am kind of surprised to see the OP is a woman because it is usually guys who I have seen spitting. It is not only gross and rude, everyone knows what a pain it is to get gum off your shoe after stepping in it. Logic says that there would have been a trash can and most likely a bathroom at the interview location. If all else failed, you could have just swallowed it. Contrary to what some are told as children, gum does not harm you if swallowed. The last thing I would have thought of in that situation would have been to spit it on the ground.
