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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 rushed to a job interview, but my cat rubbed against me, covering my suit in fur. I grabbed a lint roller, tripped over the cat, and knocked out a front tooth. I showed up sweaty, disheveled, and missing a tooth. I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, I woke up to find my freshly dry-cleaned $200 suit not on my bed. Instead I found my drunk ex-girlfriend. Not only did she break into my house, she decided that she wanted to sleep in my bed and threw my suit into the trash. I have a job interview today and the garbage men already came. 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 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, after taking my jacket off at work, I found a large faint stain all across one side of my shirt. Turns out that my fiancé had used it to "clean up the bed." I am the manager of a supermarket with 40 employees. It was pretty obvious what it was. FML
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
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 returned a friend's jacket after borrowing it. I made sure to wash it and keep it clean. When he went to put it on, a pair of my granny panties fell out of the sleeve. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh geez... I could definitely see how you would make that mistake if you were in a hurry, but they don't exactly feel the same....

At least you washed your face before wiping it

I'm just not understanding how OP didn't realize it wasn't a towel... I thought suit jackets and towels have two different textures.

Maybe OP has fancy towels. Lol

Or OP had a suit jacket made out of towel material, extra fancy!

Or go buy a new suit at a secondhand store! Anyone else think of My Cousin Vinny when they read this?

Wearing the suit anyway should only go to show how eager you are to work for them :)

Aw man that sucks! Hopefully you were able to dry it with a blow dryer... or perhaps the interviewer didn't notice!

he probably owns more than one suit

#12: Well maybe not, as he specifies just the jacket. Why not put pants, shirt and jacket on one hanger? Why specifically the jacket? My take is he doesn't work a job where he needs a suit frequently so he owns only one "decent one". So he is ****** indeed.

#16, OP doesn't work a job at all. As you can see he said "after months of unemployment"

#12, Probably not, considering that this is an FML.

There are still lots of ways to look professional without a suit jacket. Good luck!

#7 we really need you to specify the type of relationship you have with OP.

Time to throw in the towel?

I'm sure the interviewer won't be too paste off. Brush yourself off and suit up!
