Today, in preparation for a third interview for my dream job, I spent an hour selecting the perfect outfit. I hung everything on my bedroom door and went to shower. My dog decided to play tug-of-war with the clothing and redesign the shoes. The only thing to survive unscathed was the hanger. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I spent all of last night preparing, researching the company, and making sure everything was perfect. My interview was for 8am. I woke up at 10:30 to an alarm that had not gone off. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML
Today, I put on what I thought was my "lucky" sweater for a job interview. Halfway there, I noticed my reflection in a car window and realized it was covered in cat hairs of various colors and a faded spaghetti stain from last week that apparently hadn't come out in the wash. FML
Today, I went for a job interview. While waiting to be called in, I noticed a tiny thread hanging from my shirt. I pulled it to fix it but almost unraveled half my sleeve before the interviewer walked in. I spent 30 minutes holding my arm against my side like I was hiding evidence. FML
Today, I rushed to an early job interview, rehearsed answers in my Uber, then realized at reception I’d zipped my suit jacket into my backpack and was wearing my old college hoodie over dress pants. The receptionist smiled politely while I tried to explain and I somehow made small talk about rugby. FML
Today, I was prepping for an interview after several months of unemployment. I had just finished brushing my teeth when I reached back and grabbed a towel behind me to wipe my face. Turns out it wasn't a towel, it was my newly dry-cleaned suit jacket that my wife had put there for me. FML
Today, I was at a second interview for a job that I really need as I got laid off last month. Midway through the interview, I went to cross my legs and realized I had 2 different shoes on. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I have major OCD, and I had to sit in a room with a man covered in cat hair, struggling to even survive for an hour and a half. FML
Today, I went to collect my clothes out of the dryer. Thinking it would be fun for my small dog, I brought her with me. I put her down and let her sniff around while I put my clean clothes in a basket. I turned around from putting more clothes in the dyer to catch her peeing in my clean clothes. FML

I think you might still get the job if you wear your birthday suit right ;-) but, seriously, I apologize for my kind. We can't help it; we love tug-of-war. FYL, OP!

Show up naked! There's a position that just opened up from some tight-ass who determined that flirty fun in the office was "sexual harassment." You'll get the job if you show them you are willing to "play ball."

That depends on how good looking or well endowed OP is.

#2 - Thank youuu, Cap'n Obvious.

Good luck OP! Remember, YOU make the clothes, the CLOTHES don't make you! Own any outfit you've got!

4 - There definitely is a position for a naked person and, depending on the boss's predilections, a tight ass might not be a con, if you know what I mean ;-)

#4 more like "play with balls"

That's the joke.

Just pick up the phone in front of the dog and call a Chinese buffet, telling them you have a "you know what" for their menu. That should scare your dog.

It's time for a new dream job if you couldn't get it after 3

Actually, some companies have multiple interviews of candidates they're serious about hiring and who may be qualified for more than one position. OP should simply go with her next best clothing option. As someone else said, the person makes the outfit, not the otherway round.

That sucks OP! My dog does the same. They have to be trained better! Hopefully you had something even better to wear then what you picked out :)

I doubt your suit would've made a lasting impression. You were obviously competing for your dream job.

Atleast it wasn't chocolate and the dog died. You should know your dog by now and should leave clothes or anything he could "eat" away from him. Sorry but YDI

Sometimes dogs randomly misbehave. We had a dog who was good for five years then suddenly started ******** in the house everyday for no reason. I don't get why it's a FML though. It sucks losing the clothes but il sure there's another outfit OP can wear to the interview.

Well if it was one of those velvet hangers, you could wear that. Those are fancy

That's ruff. Damn you scooby doo! Stop meddling in other people's business!
