Today, I went to my first job interview in months. Just minutes in, a sudden huge, uncontrollable sneeze overcame me. A wad of snot flew out onto my shirt, which I didn't even notice until the visibly disgusted interviewer pointed it out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went for a job interview, under the impression that I had taken my allergy medication, and had a sneezing fit. Each sneeze seemed to get louder, and every time I blew my nose, it set the sneezing off again. By the end, the entire interview panel was staring at me in disbelief. FML
Today, I drove to a job interview. I had to sneeze, but because I was driving on the highway, I didn't let go of the wheel to cover my mouth. I didn't know the sneeze was a "productive" one until I was sitting in the interview, looked down at my new blouse, and saw the giant lugie sitting there. FML
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
Today, I was walking into the building I hoped to work in someday with my resume, ready to be interviewed. As I walked through the doors I had to sneeze, so lifted my hands and sneezed a huge bloody booger right in the middle of the cover page. Turns out future employers don't like that. FML
Today, I finally had an interview for my dream job. It was all going great until I started chuckling uncontrollably, snorted like a pig and hit the guy with the world's largest snot rocket. All I could do was slip out the door as he sat paralysed with shock. FML
Today, I sneezed while at the office. I felt snot shoot out, but I couldn't see anything on the tissue. I ignored it and went on with my day. When I went to the bathroom hours later, I noticed a huge wad of snot had dried onto the front of my shirt. No one told me about it. FML
Today, I had a big meeting. Halfway through my presentation, I sneezed, and continued talking. I get some weird looks from my co-workers, but I didn't understand what they meant. When I finished, I passed by my boss walking to my chair, and he gave me a handkerchief. Why? Snot was all over my tie. FML
Today, I burped and sneezed during a job interview, I don’t think they were impressed by my talents. 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, I was in a meeting with my boss and some new clients when I sensed that I was about to sneeze. I tried to hold it in, but ended up sneezing AND farting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth when you're about to sneeze will stop it. It's worked every time for me. Though, I suppose that information would have been more useful BEFORE the interview.

Did you get the job?
Ambient25 25
Obviously she did. Having snot hanging down your nose is one of the biggest secrets to a successful interview.

As is a silent but violent fart.
kelseythompson 27
"Was that a fart? I can taste it, on my tongue. Is that onion? Onion.. onion and ketchup. It's a small room.. okay now the tuxedos seem kinda ****** up." Made me think of Stepbrothers :D haha

23, you've ruined what could have been an amazing sarcasm thread. Thanks for that. You're wonderful.
kelseythompson 27
#27 You seem to be doing great yourself also, So no you're wonderful. Thank you.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
I feel great inside too. I don't need therapy. I don't need therapy. I don't need therapy!

Thats when you get up and just walk out. Sucks for you. Better luck next time.

**** your profile picture. It's 2:35 am here and I was planning on going to sleep after reading this FML.
Ambient25 25
You probably won't like mine then
raphanne_fml 33
#18 Yours is okay. It's not the size of a toilet bowl. I guess size does matter after all.
TunaFireStarter 16
The scary part about 18s picture is that it's a black widow! I will now be checking every TP roll I use after this.
raphanne_fml 33
Oh god, I didn't realise. I'm so glad that the most dangerous thing where I come from is a tick.

49- Well, where the hell do you come from because I wanna move there.
raphanne_fml 33
I'm French.

Could of been worse. Could of landed on the interviewer.
Dracoboxer357 36
Could have been better, like sneezing into the crook of your elbow and not throwing it out wildly. ;p In a perfect world, Op wouldn't have that impression being a deciding factor in his or her employment. Odds are though, it may stick in the interviewer's mind like it did on the shirt. ;P

#3, *could have

Fun fact you can stop a sneeze by putting your tongue to the top of your mouth. I don't know how but it works.
andits 21
Well that's embarrassing. Better luck next time buddy. Next time try to hold the sneeze in next time somehow
jesustitts 20
Next time re-read your comment and the FML. Next time. Uncontrollable, meaning (s)he couldn't have held it in if (s)he tried.
Sports_guy3 28
It's possible to hold it in. But I don't release universal secrets on websites.

Lick it off.
Nordrag 26
thats disgusting. you sick bastard.
billiejoeinabox 7
No, it's ABSOLUTELY delicious, of course! Who WOULDN'T like that! :P
YourBatteryIsLow 8
#6 That may be disgusting but it us brilliant! I was thinking "Oh man she snot on herself... Now there is no way she'll get the job..." But now I'm thinking more on the side where the interviewer has a fetish for licking snot off of shirts and was disgusted because OP wasn't licking a perfectly good booger off of her shirt!
Dracoboxer357 36
6- **** it, why not? If you're going to not get the job Anyways, you might as well try to get the interviewer to puke his guts up on the way out the door....because that's the proper thing to do, right? ;p Ick.
TheAbstract 15
You guys are weird.
fucMyLifeSoHard 18
What the hell is wrong with the people on this thread?
billiejoeinabox 7
You didn't actually think I was serious with licking it off?
beaglegal 42
Sneeze into your elbow...
fucMyLifeSoHard 18
If it was uncontrollable like OP said, it might have been sudden, so OP may not have had time to sneeze into her elbow.
red_headforlife 15
That snot good
incoherentrmblr 22
Well, this escalated quickly...
Dracoboxer357 36
48- Actually no, no it didn't. It didn't escalate at all. There was no escalation Whatsoever. It happened, and the response was very subdued, albeit "Puny." But thanks for playing.
JustBeingAwesome 22
I hope that wasn't counted in as a part of your performance...

I say pineapples (since I don't like the taste of pineapple) and the instant I think of it, it stops the sneeze. 98% success rate. Ohh yeeeyy
Grayness_ 26
I want to know what happened afterwards.
Dracoboxer357 36
16- Scenario 1) Op was thanked for her time and never got a call back. Life went on. 2) Op took 6#'s advice, licked the snot off herself, and was asked to leave after the interviewer tossed his cookies in the corner. She still didn't get a call back. 3) Op decided the snot ruined her shirt so she promptly removed the offending clothing and was immediately offered the job opening for her wise choice. ;P I'm leaning more towards option 1), but weirder shit has happened here on FML quite often, so who knows? ;)
