Today, I walked to an interview on my college campus. I got there early. The place was empty. I assumed I wrote the date wrong. Several hours later, a friend who also was interviewed asked me how my interview went. The date, time and location were all right. I don't know how I got lost. FML

OP here! I agree with you #5, I was probably at the wrong location if no one was already there. However, the guy wrote down the address the day before, and I walked to that address to the best of my ability. I should never have left so soon after I realized that I was in the wrong area. I assumed that I knew the building well enough, so I only arrived five minutes early. All of my previous interviews have gone smoothly, so I had no reason to believe that this time I would mistakenly stumble into an alternate universe. #15, thank you for not judging me too harshly. Although the interviewer was kind enough to suggest that we reschedule, he hasn't followed up with me in a few days. Missing my interview was my fault; I should have been better prepared. Luckily I have some other options, so not all hope is lost. As for my friend, he is a classmate in a later class. We've never exchanged numbers. It was mere coincidence we both had interviews.

I doubt the location was 'right' if you were lost...

You may or may not have accidentally stumbled into an alternate universe where your interview was never scheduled. That's rough, OP.

So because they place was empty you assumed you got the day wrong and left? Why? You were early, why didn't you wait to see if anybody showed up? Or better yet, why didn't you call your friend and ask him were the interviews were being held to see if you were in the right place? IMHO, YDI.

"IMHO"? Was there anything "Humble" about your opinion? ;) Anyways, I'm assuming he did stick around for several minutes to see if someone showed up.

Possibly. OP still should have called a friend to check. Mistakes happen though, and it's unfortunate it happened to OP. Better luck next time.

How early did you get there? I'm assuming you waited for the correct time. If you knew your friend had an interview why not text him? (Assuming you had your phone on you)

Ok that sucks and all, but if you were wondering where the hell everyone was, why didn't you call/text your friend who had the same interview? Seems like one of the first things I would do before waiting around that long....
