Today, I spent a hundred dollars on new "business casual" clothes and took two hours to get ready for my interview with a government agency. My interviewer was blind. FML

Hahaha. The originality of this FML made me laugh. This was truly a good one. *Hat off*

No one could have possibly guessed that outcome. The clothes could easily be used somewhere else. There's nothing wrong with taking time to look presentable. The most I ask is that every one would shower but some people decide disgusting others is more important. Breaking Benjamin is a horrifyingly bad band.

So you would've dressed differently if you had known he was blind? That makes you a bit of a dick.

If you had good perfume on, I doubt it'd matter. He's blind, not "restricted from ALL sensory information."

This isn't an fml. I bet your interviewer asked the receptionist what you looked like afterwards, and if you'd turned up looking scruffy it would appear that you didn't care. You're still going to need to be well-presented if you get the job, and if you don't get the job you'll need the garb for future interviews. Why whinge about this?

on the phone: interviewer: "great; come in on [insert date here] and i'll interview you. by the way, i'm blind." op: "ok! i'll wear the shittiest clothes i can find! see you there!" ...because this is how things happen in real life! |the kid|

Shush girl shut ya lips do the (forgot word) and talk with ya hips. It's part of a song I love....

"Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips..." What does that have to do with the FML?

This girl is awesome she took the joke and played it off... WE SHOULD GET MARRIED IN VEGAS TO ELVIS PRESLEY because you know what is elvis last great hit.... the floor care to join me and listen to it?

YDI for being a superficial freakwad. Nobody should ever spend more than $20 on one outfit, nor more than five minutes making themselves look presentable. Anyone who makes a habit (i.e., more than twice per lifetime) of such self-obsessed, deplorable "routines" ought to be purged. And it really shouldn't even happen twice.

Dude, a pair of freakin' simple jeans is more than 20 bucks. Showers take more than 5 minutes for most people. What you're telling us is that it's okay to be a grungy, gunky urchin.

So this is why you haven't been asked out in a while.

Idiot, the interviewer could easily turn to ask somebody "How'd they look?" Experience: My sister is blind.

Sorry but if you're interviewing for a government agency, "business casual" is what you could get away with on an average day AFTER you're hired. Showing up to an initial interview dressed like that is no better than wearing shorts and flip-flops. Go with a shirt, tie, and jacket, you probably only have to wear it that one time and you'll make a much better impression.

Oh and a hundred dollars is par for the course - these people saying you spent too much have obviously never bought quality clothes. If you spent 20 bucks on an outfit, well you look like you spent 20 bucks on an outfit.. Good luck on any other interviews :)
