Today, while on my way to an important interview, I was stopped and ticketed for speeding. The ticket made me 20 minutes late, but when I showed up, I was told they forgot to call and let me know that the woman I was supposed to meet with called in sick this morning. FML

Funny you should mention zombie attacks... The reason I was late was because I slept through my alarm after a particularly intense, long weekend, zombie survival prep camp (basically a lot of running in between short classes on survival skills for three days). I know I shouldn't have been speeding, but it was important enough that the $135 would have been worth paying... y'know, if they hadn't forgotten to tell me it was cancelled...

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The only reason to speed is if you're late, and the only reason to be late is poor planning. Or a zombie attack.

It's your own fault for speeding, however, it is a bummer no one called you

Consider that a "Get out of Jail Free" card.

Maybe it is a sign to look for another job. That place doesn't sound very professional.

okay the ticket sucks ..speeding happens hope you drive safer next time but look at it like this op..had you gotten there at the time you did and the lady did interview you..you wouldn't have gotten the job for being late... now you have a second chance to make a better first impression ..hopefully no one tells the interviewer you were late.

Well that's better than getting a ticket and not getting the job because you were late...at least now you still have a shot

I think Op deserves the job...Although, I wouldn't work with people that forget things like that or probably didn't feel like calling(that second part might not be true).

That's kind of only 1/2 an FML. It's your fault for being late and getting the ticket, but you lucked out with the interview being cancelled anyway!

Where's the "That SO doesn't suck!" button. Hey, you got a ticket for speeding....but you didn't show up late for your interview! That was incredibly lucky!
