Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML

I would have replied with "you're no prize but he ***** you". That would have shut her up.

And they say beautiful people have easy charmed lives, but being ugly paid off ..... : )

I was passed over for a boatload of jobs through the years because to some hirers having the best resume in the pile didn't mean as much as being the prettiest woman in the waiting room. That said, the converse is also true. I was hired for some jobs BECAUSE I was ugly and wouldn't be a distraction, the boss' wife wanted a doggy gal on her husband's staff or in a couple of cases, to do all the work so the pretty woman would be free to flit around the department and show off her ****. When I was young it bugged me but now for me it's all about getting the job. Once you're in, you can make things happen but you can't do that if you don't get in. Once you get in the door, be so good at your job and get so much work done that you become indispensible. I got raises and promotions that bosses didn't always want to give me but HAD to because if they didn't, they knew they'd lose me to either another department or a competitor. I made damn sure that keeping me was well worth tolerating my unattractiveness. At one job I had, two bosses who had once fought over who got stuck with ugly me ended up fighting over who got to have me transferred to their section. Take the job, OP, and show them what you are really worth.

Everyone is so damn rude these days. Sorry OP. I'm sure you're much prettier on the inside than she'll ever be. Good luck finding a job.

Just tell him you have great skills and your looks shouldn't matter. If u want him, go for it!!!! , plus tell him he can put a bag on your head if it helps

That's when you tell her she dose not have to be such a bitch be cause she's insecure about her marriage.

Wow, what a charming woman. And stupid to boot. Maybe if she wasn't such a judgemental bitches he wouldn't be having affairs.

Think of the positive sides: A) you've now got a job B) you don't look like a home wreaking ***** C) you probably aren't a controlling, paranoid bitch like your bosses wife (:
