Today, my mom kissed me goodbye before I went to a big job interview. I got weird looks on the way there, but I figured it was just because I look like a massive douche in formal wear. Turns out my mom had smeared lipstick all over my chin. The person who finally let me know was my interviewer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a really important job interview, and as i was about to leave for it my mom told me to remember to make eye contact. As I was walking in, it was the only thing I could think about, so looking directly at him my foot hits a lip in the floor and my head slams into his desk. FML
Today, I was having lunch with my mom before an important job interview. She commented than my lips looked dry and crackly and gave me her chapstick with aloe to put on. Apparently I'm allergic to aloe and my lips got so swollen I could hardly talk. It was too late to reschedule the interview. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I had to drop my daughter off with my babysitter first. When I got to the interview, I got a weird look from the vice president of the company. I had lime green poop running down the side of my white blouse. FML
Today, I awoke to make-up all over my face and nail polish on my hands and feet because my daughter wanted "daddy to look pretty." I have a job interview in an hour and none of it is coming off. FML
Today, my mom called while I was at a job interview. I ignored the call, but the interviewer was so offended by the fact I'd rudely left it on at all, that he threw me out. I found out from my mom later that she'd called to wish me good luck. FML
Today, I woke up with really dry, chapped lips. Still in bed, without my glasses on, I sleepily reached down into my purse for some chapstick and applied it. Upon awakening later I realized I had mistaken a mini Sharpie permanent marker for chapstick. I have a job interview today. FML
Today, I went in for an interview with a firm where I'd done some interning before. After shaking hands with both the directors, I went to shake hands with one of the director's wives, who also works there. Turns out she was going for a hug and kiss on the cheek. I ended up kissing her on the lips. FML
Today, I had an admissions interview at my dream college. I spent hours practicing questions and picking the perfect outfit. It was not until after the interview that I realized I'd scratched a pimple while waiting, and my forehead had been smeared with blood the entire time. FML
Today, while I was waiting for an interview, I picked at a something I felt on my chin thinking that it was just some food. I had a good interview, then I got into my car and looked in the mirror, only to see that I had blood smeared all over my chin. Turns out I had picked a zit. No one told me. FML
Today, right before a job interview, I spilled hot coffee all over my lap. The stain looked incredibly suspicious. During the interview, the recruiter kept glancing down awkwardly while I tried to maintain eye contact and confidence. FML

You should have ducked into a bathroom before your interview for a final check of your appearance. Better luck on your next interview.

That totally reminded me of the spongebob episode where his grandma kissed his forehead and everyone made fun of him. Anyone else? No?... Ok

Dude, get it together. Look in a mirror and stop being sloppy. You completely deserve it.

While I agree that OP should've done a final check in a bathroom mirror or something, I wouldn't necessarily go to the extreme of calling him sloppy just by this post.

That is creepy and concerning at the same time. Did you check your appearance before you went in????

Obviously not since he didn't even know it was there.

Now we all know who's a big mama's boy. But, seriously, if you've been getting weird looks, you should've at least taken out your phone and used it as a mirror by checking yourself using selfie cam on your phone.

Well, if the interviewer is a nice guy/girl, he/she won't dwell on it too much. I can't say I blame you -- it's not as if you expected lipstick to be smeared on you.

Reminds me of that SpongeBob episode. Did you at least got cookies? Edit: multiple people beat me to it.

This reminds me of Spongebob's grandma.

How did your mom not notice after she kissed you? Did she smooch your chin then just look away and shove you out the door?
