Today, I had a meeting with the CEO about a promising job with good pay and benefits. Upon meeting, we immediately recognized each other. He was someone I used to make fun of in school all the time. He responded by refusing to interview me and had security throw me out by force. Karma bites. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML

Today, I went in for an interview at my dream job. When I walked in, I got a dirty look from the front desk secretary. Turns out, the guy interviewing me was from a dating website I'm on. I'd rejected him and told him to get a life. FML

Bad timing

Today, I was at a big meeting at work. The CEO was reaming the hell out of us for our recent poor profits, when I accidentally let rip a vile fart. I was then subjected to a 10 minute tirade of abuse for "trying to be a funny man", and told that whatever small chance I had for a promotion is now gone. FML

It's a coup!

Today, at work, I accidentally walked into a meeting at which the whole company was there but me. The meeting was about how they could legally fire me while paying as little severance as possible. I'm the CEO and the founder of the company. 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

Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML

Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML

How the turntables turn

Today, I went to see a house for rent. The owner ended up being a person whom I denied renting to a long time ago, because I thought she was sketchy looking. Apparently she’s the CEO of a company now. She definitely recognized me and kicked me off the premises. FML

Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML

I don't think he deserves it. A lot of time people act differently in there youth then they do after growing up. The CEO went a tad far throwing the guy out of the building he could of just taken the interview and not hired him. That is called being the bigger person. I say FYL for making a scene and throwing you out.

YDI for making fun of the guy. And YDI for writing about karma.

I was thinking *maybe* the CEO is being a little immature, but then I always see former bullies playing down their torment "I only teased him a bit", eg. If he wasn't that bad, then the CEO would have hired him and just made his work hell.

Funny that you mention that movie. I took a date to it and afterwards, she said, "That movie reminds me of me when I was in high school." I said, "Me, too!" She said, "I was a cheerleader." And I said, "I was a nerd." There were no more dates.

OP is a man...breast implants in high school would probably have the reverse effect of making him popular.

True, you might get over it. The fact that he is a successful CEO suggests that he has. That doesn't mean he's going to give one of his tormentors an amazing job in his company. Revenge is sweet and the OP deserves what he gets.
