Today, I was rejected by a company I applied to. When I was writing my application, I spent so much time on their website researching that the ads on my browser are almost all for their products. It's like getting rejected again with every click. FML

Today, while despairing over having been rejected for my dream job, I received an email asking me to come back in for another interview. Then they called me to say they accidentally sent the email to all the applicants, and that they definitely aren't interested. FML

Today, I spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML

Today, at the one job interview I got after months of applying, I was rejected for what turned out to be a phone customer service role, because I "wasn't technical enough." Previously I worked as a website developer and I have a computer science degree. FML

Not only did you not get first comment, but no where in your rambling, incoherent answer did you even come close to anything resembling a comment. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

So you claim you got first comment, say something stupid realise you were second and then change it to something even worse amd try and cover it up with saying it was someone else. seems legit

Does it matter? Of course comments like this are annoying but why waste your time bothering me when you can actually appreciate the FML. I tried to be polite and apologize even when it wasn't me.
