Today, my job application got denied once again. I looked over it, and saw that my roommate added "screwing over customers" and "hiding dead bodies" under my skills. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my job application for McDonald's was rejected. This is the second time. FML
Today, I applied for a job as a dishwasher. I was denied because I don't have enough experience. FML
Today, I applied for a new job as a maintenance technician. About 10 minutes after submitting my resume, I received a rejection letter. My girlfriend is their HR person. FML
Today, I was forced to write a job application letter that boils down to, "I can't do this job, please don't hire me." FML
Today, my time-off request was denied because I'd said on my application that I have “open availability.” This is normally true, except my mother passed away and I need to travel to go to her funeral. I attempted to appeal, but ended up fired for “misleading” the company by “lying on a job application.” FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, I spent two hours filling out an online application and questionnaire for a potential employer. The application stated that there were no right or wrong answers and to answer truthfully. I was automatically rejected. FML
Today, we are severely understaffed, and I'm very often the only person working my shift. There's a yuppie who comes in and complains when we have to pause service due to shift change. He does this every day, and I'd had enough, so I slid him an application ,and told him to fill it out, wait, or leave. I got written up. FML
Today, I discovered that I needed to reapply for my job in order to have a chance at keeping it. The applications closed yesterday. FML
Today, my sister felt guilty and told me about the changes she secretly made to my résumé months ago. She'd put "doing your mom" and "corporate espionage" as my hobbies, and "Justin Bieber's pussy waxer" as a previous job. No wonder I'm still unemployed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm all for funny pranks between friends and roommate but this is beyond stupid and mean. You don't mess up with someone's chances of getting a job to get a good laugh. You should really have a discussion with your roommate on what is acceptable and is not. And yes, next time: proof read 2 or 3 times before you send an application. You never know what you could have missed. Even typos look bad.

If his roommate was really that bad he may have elected to list 'hiding customers and screwing over dead bodies' under special skills instead.

You need new roommates. If anyone did anything to mess up my job applications, joke or not, I wouldn't be speaking to them again.

Why? The current one is apparently quite happy to pay the whole rent.

Well from a postive stance, s/he doesn't want you to have the job. Just remind them that they will have to pay for everything.

Your roommate is a horrible person, but you should ALWAYS triple check any resume or job application just before you send it in.

Your roommate is a giant dick.

Save your resume as a PDF next time, so it's harder to edit.

Wait..I don't understand. How did you find out your roommate wrote on the application? Did you get the application back from the employer? Because from what I'm reading you certainly didn't look it over before you handed it in. Or you did and are just an idiot.

It was probably a resume that he had saved on his PC.

Haha your "friend" is a dick I must say, but reading this gave me laughs. Better luck next time

Why don't you make justice to your curriculum and use your second ability with your roomate?
