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

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

common sense and a map of the united states (which I'm guessing you studied as an elementary school child) should have told that rhode island is not actually an island. you should have known whether you lived on the west coast or not. jeez. you shouldn't be applying to college if you don't even know simple geography of the country you live in.

How could you possibly think that Rhode Island was an actual island? Do you not know anything about this country? Did you not pay attention in school? The least you could do is do a little research about the area the college you are in, as you are hoping to live there for the next four years. Even worse, now everyone is going to be talking about "dumb Californians" when we're not all that stupid.

I live in RI and get that question all the time if I talk to someone on chatroulette or something lol. I also work in a grocery store and I have some people that ask where aisle 7 is... that's not even classified as geography. WEST WARWICK FTW.

maybe after all these "historic floods" people in the US will recognize RI for something... like you said, other than family guy.

I call FAKE because there is no way in God's name that you graduated high school without knowing that Rhode Island is part of the continental US. Idiot.
