Today, I had a job interview. Everything was going well until I noticed a picture of a dog hanging on the wall, which reminded me of the ending of Marley and Me. I started crying and had to be escorted out. FML

Today, my friends thought it would be hilarious to show me Marley and Me the day right after I had to put down my dog. I had my dog for 11 years. FML

Bad timing

Today, I had a phone interview for a job I've had my eye on forever. I was dumped a few hours before the interview, but was okay until I was put on hold with music playing. Me and my boyfriend's song came on and I started bawling. I could hardly talk when they took me off hold. FML

Nervous nelly

Today, I thought I was finally over my anxiety problem, and confidently went to my first ever job interview. Halfway through, the manager told me that if I didn't stop being so nervous, he couldn't give me the job. I cried. FML

Today, on my way to a job interview, I saw a dog running down the road so I stopped to pet it. It was a wolf. FML

Dog hater?

Today, I had a phone interview for a better position at work. I've been training my puppy recently not to bark. I put on dog-calming videos while she was in the kennel. During the interview, my neighbor's dog started barking and my dog immediately responded back. My boss ended the interview. FML

Today, while I was at work, I was on the verge of tears. My coworker asked what was wrong and I explained that I recently had to put my dog down. He then replied, "Cool story, bro. Tell it again." FML

Today, I went to a job interview. I really needed the job to keep my apartment. As I was being interviewed, the manager looked past me and stared off into space. There goes the job and my apartment. FML

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

Toxic workplace goals!

Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML

The Rainbow Bridge

Today, at my job at a pet store, my boss told me to go outside and hand out flyers. I saw a man sitting on a bench and walked up, saying, "Hi! Do you have a pet?" He teared up and said, "I just put her down this morning." FML

was it a picture of a dog hanging, on the wall... or was it a picture of a dog, hanging on the wall... If its the first one, you probably shouldn't want to work there anyway.

OP I feel really sorry for you, and I don't envy your sensitivity at all. YDI. Learn to control your emotions better, how do you manage up function outside of your home?

OP, you must be very unstable considering a picture of a dog made you cry just because you remembered a movie. I don't feel sorry for you, if you're old enough to be out looking for a job, you're old enough to control your emotions, especially at critical times, such as during job interviews. I hope you learn to control yourself better for your own sake.

I originally downvoted this for reasons, then realized that the day before just the thought of my dog being hurt turned me into a blubbering mess. I deserve that downvote; not you.
