Today, after handing in my resume to get a part-time job, I tried leaving, but the door wouldn't open. It was the "in" door. The person I gave my resume to had to slowly explain this to me. 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 job interview. It went really well until I couldn't figure out how to open the slide door to get out of the room. FML
Today, I walked into a door on my way in to an interview, in front of the interviewer and a group of people waiting to be interviewed. FML
Today, I had a job interview for a position at a police station. I asked to use the restroom and accidentally opened the wrong door, locking myself in a stairwell. I had to knock on the door until somebody let me out. Safe to say I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I went to hand in a resume. The secretary happened to be a girl I liked in high school. When leaving, I shook hands with the employer, waved goodbye to the girl, turned around and walked straight into a glass wall. FML
Today, I went to a job interview, and a guy ahead of me went to enter the building, only to walk face-first into a glass door. I rushed to help him up, and after we had a good laugh about it, I turned to walk inside, only to walk straight into the door as well. FML
Today, I had a job interview at a restauraunt opening up. One manager hypothetically asked me why I should be hired. I said I was more efficient than most. I left to find I'd locked my keys in the car. It took all the managers to help me get my keys out. FML
Today, I was late for an interview. Going into the elevator, a man ran up to the doors but since I was late, I pressed the "close" button. When I arrived to the office, the secretary asked me to wait. The boss walked in to interview me. The man whose face I closed the elevator doors on. FML
Today, I got stuck in a revolving door. FML
Today, I was in a rush to meet some friends for brunch, and I arrived first. The restaurant door was locked, so I knocked. A waiter opened the door and stared at me with confusion before saying, “This isn’t the entrance, ma’am.” It wasn’t until I walked around the corner and saw the correct door that I realized I had been standing at the employee entrance the entire time. FML
Today, after closing down the gas station I work at, I went to unlock the door to the building. Turned out the lock broke and I was locked inside until my boss could get there to let me out. FML

Judging how op said that the guy "Slowly explained" I think he left an impression alright... I think he's screwed for the job with THAT type of impression, thus OP should have went out with a bang and said "I'm not ******* retarded I know what a in door is" and left. Depends how slowly the guy explained it which would effect the language used :s

OP was justified in using the "in" door. Perhaps they thought it led INto the hallway.

A lot of employers get special government incentives for hiring the mentally handicapped. :)

Are you blond? That might be a contributory factor to why he talked so slow. Stupid stereotypes!

Also the fact that s/he went to the wrong door and couldn't figure out why

Don't worry about it man, getting a job is stressful and it sometimes causes us to think incorrectly.. I'm sure people have done worse :P

I don't think it can get much worse than this...

I once was so nervous at an interview that I told the manager I would do anything for him if he hired me... I didn't realize how inappropriate that sounded until after he gave me a weird look. Yep, didn't get that job.

I think this isn't so bad compared some of the past FMLs that had to do with job interviews. I mean there was the one where the guy got stoned as **** due to eating "special" brownies, then there was the girl who's job interviewer was some dude she slept with and never called back. So this FML isn't as bad as those but still pretty funny. Hope you get the job OP.

Tell them that you have a tragic disability. A very extreme version of dyslexia, sometimes called: "Imanidiot-ia".

That must have been awkward.

Sounds like something I would do, but your nerves were probably all worked up and you didn't want to make a fool out of yourself but ended up doing that anyway. Its okay, happens to the best of us. And it doesn't mean you won't get the job.
