Transportation: Not a geography major

Not a geography major

By Anonymous - 16/02/2010 05:15 - United States

Today, I had an interview for a college. The college is in Rhode Island. I live on the West coast. When I asked the interviewer if they got to the mainland by boat or by some other form of transportation, he told me Rhode Island is not an island. FML

Today, I was interviewed by this TV crew who asked me what I thought of Rhode Island being voted for the second most neurotic state. I thought they said that Rhode Island was the second most erotic state. I commented. FML

Today, after being told numerous times how sexist the East Coast is, I went ahead with my East Coast grad school architecture interview. The first thing out of the interviewer's mouth was, "Are you sure you don't want to do interior architecture?" FML

Snow day

Today, is the second time this week that school is delayed because of snow or "extreme ice." It's like we're Texas now, they get 2 inches of snow and the whole state gets shut down, but no, I live in Rhode Island. I gotta go to work. FML

Today, after three and a half years of working dead-end jobs with a bachelor's degree, I got a call from a potential employer in my degree field, who wanted to set up an interview. The problem: the interview is across the country, and I'm too broke to pay the travel expenses. FML

Today, after years of hard work, I had an interview at the highest ranking university in the world 800 miles from where I live. It snowed heavily for the last 2 days closing every road, railway, and airport causing me to miss the interview. There is no rescheduling. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

Today, I travelled cross-country to interview for my dream job. The team seemed to love me and I had a lot of fun. In the airport on the way home I saw a news report that the company is closing. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML

Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." FML

Today, whilst on a phone interview with a college I really want to go to, my mother picks up the other line and shouts into the phone "She's not going to college, she's lazy and she'll only disappoint you." The interviewer hung up before I could say anything. FML

I grew up in the Denver area. When I was in college in Tacoma, I had a classmate from Oregon ask me, with complete seriousness, how we cleaned our outhouses, what it was like heating our bathwater on a wood stove, and how long it took us to get into downtown from the suburbs, riding horses. In her ignorant little Left-Coastie mind, everything East of Portland was "obviously" still operating at an 1870's level. I'm frankly a little surprised the OP even knows the East Coast exists, (outside of New York City and maybe Miami), and it doesn't surprise me at all she wouldn't know Rhode Island isn't actually an island. Judging by her FML, she probably didn't even know it's a state.

Just please keep in mind that not all of us are ignorant! It's only the ones closer to the coast line...The rest of us in the midland are actually very smart. Even though I grew up on the coast so... meh. It's the ones that don't pay attention in school. I bet the OP is blond!

As a native of California, I'm slightly offended. But I'm taking a bigger interest in the fact that the comments from many easterners have poor writing. First of all, not everyone who lives on the west coast is a retard, and we do not live in our own "bubble." Furthermore, "I even knew Rhode Island isn't an island." isn't correct. Keep your past/presents consistent! "I even know Rhode Island isn't an island," is correct. Clearly, college-level English is lacking in other countries as well.
