Today, I had a job interview. I have major OCD, and I had to sit in a room with a man covered in cat hair, struggling to even survive for an hour and a half. FML

Good thing you're not allergic. Cat hair is evil.

Interviewer: so why do you want to this job? OP: well…*twitch* you see I found *twitch* it interesting. LOL

I hope you got the job. You really didn't say what your OCD is and how this would cause a problem with cat hairs? Does your OCD force you to count them? Really there are so many different kinds of OCD that would necessarily manifest itself in a (short) job interview.

I took it to mean that OP has the cleaning OCD and had to fight the urge to clean up all the hairs that tarnished the man's suit.

I guess you could have said, Oh, I see you have a cat. They say no outfit is complete without a bit of cat hair... Thereby injecting humor into the situation.

Something tells me OP wouldn't have much of a chance of getting the job after saying that.

If you were OCD, would you want to work with someone who's covered in cat hair every day? Anyway, was it the prospective employer or someone else who's also applying for the job?

I don't have OCD, but I would freak out being in a room with someone covered in cat hair. I'd keep wanting to go over them with a sticky lint roller. I can handle untidy, I cannot handle dirty.

... Here's a dictionary. Go look up 'logic', 'fallacy' and 'reason'. Until then, your brain card has been revoked.

How the hell did you conclude that this person was an 'obvious cum drinker'?! It's not like they prefaced their FML with "I was enjoying a nice warm glass of fresh semen at my job interview".

Lol that's funny(-_-)...I never stated that he was, I was just making fun of the acronym "OCD"...and why are you upset?!...WHO GIVES A **** WHAT HE IS AND IS NOT?!

Yeah, not funny enough to be humour, not unfunny enough to be anti-humour. It just came across as random vulgar idiocy. And I care because I am bored, and this is more entertaining than partying with Rocky, Sir Lints-a-lot, Madame Le Flour and Mr Turnip.

Who are these people you reference?! You care because your bored?! Not a good enough reason Missy.

Unless your obsession is cat hair and your compulsion is to count them, then I see no problem here. That is, of course, unless you have OCPD which is completely different than OCD, and you just say you have OCD to garner sympathy. I'm sick and ******* tired of every anal retentive person saying they have OCD. Just because you want everything to be clean does NOT mean you have OCD. Saying that trivialises a real psychiatric disorder.

I think it's time for our breathing exercises. Breath in, Doc.

i agree. i hear so many people say something along the lines of "oh can you put that back on the shelf exactly how it was, im OCD" first off i always wonder why people say 'i am OCD' , shouldn't it be 'i have OCD'... second, its ******* annoying. just because you like things organized or whatever doesn't mean you have OCD. id bet ANYONE who actually has OCD would love to trade places with the person who just likes to be organized. i don't actually know anyone who suffers from it, but i have seen enough of those shows on MTV (you guys know what show i mean) to know its a pretty serious disorder that can really interfere with daily living.

It seems that when someone uses psycho-babble that offends the "Doc" side, it unleashes the "Bastard" side. Is his real name Bruce Banner?

Exactly, the biggest problem living with this type of disorder is that you are so hyper-obsessed with stacking/straightening/colour coding/cleaning/counting/reorganising/ritualising/listing absolutely everything in your life that in the end you are not tidy or organised, but rather a chaotic explosion of organisational systems in which no one can function but yourself. It's debilitating.

MsKati - What you're describing is mysophobia, not OCD.

I have OCD. I have ha it all my life. It is the single worst thing I could ever imagine. For those of you who don't have it, you're incredibly lucky. I the people who think they have it because things aren't how they want it or they're a clean freak. Obsessive compulsive disorder is the worst thing I could ever imagine.

YDI for discriminating against freaks. Just because he was covered in cat hair doesn't mean he's not a qualified for the job as you are! Here, we have a lady covered in fish scales and she's excellent at her job, and we treat her like anyone else. We often eat lunch with her, except for Fridays ;)

It is discrimination if the interviewer has a condition in which he grows cat hair all over his body instead of the normal human hair. If I were like that I would be very sensitive about it. Poor perdix. People just don't understand your jokes, do they?

Oh, thank #94, you make me happy and give me hope. People like #77 make me think the future of humanity is bleak.
