Today, I was applying for a job at a corporate office. Everything went fine until I hurled all over the manager, who until then seemed to like me. Never eat expired canned tuna on the same day as an interview. FML

Today, I drooled on myself during a job interview and was immediately dismissed. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. FML

Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I was offered coffee and a donut. It was going well until I took a bite of the donut and started choking on it. I coughed so hard I ended up vomiting into his garbage can. FML

Too trusting

Today, I made the major mistake of trusting a fart during a job interview. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job. FML

Canceled

Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML

Today, I went to a job interview and, feeling nervous, accidentally knocked over the interviewer's Mountain Dew. Trying to recover, I blurted out, "Don't worry, I'm used to cleaning up messes." The awkward silence that followed made it clear I wouldn't be cleaning up anything in their office. FML

Today, a four pound can of tuna fell on my head at work, and it burst all over my clothes. Since I'm the manager, I had to stay all day reeking of tuna. Now I'm home, my damn cat won't leave me alone. FML

Waste of time

Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. 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

Okay, she probably didn't know it was expired, and attempted to put humor into the FML.

Well how about she use her brain next time and check the damn can before she decides to eat it? That seems reasonable to me.

Damn, canned food usually takes forever to go bad too. Must have been digging deep in the pantry.

Just what I was thinking! Unless she bought it with only few months/weeks/days left to expire, which I highly doubt.

sourgirl101 28

Wednesday 12 January 2011 11:09

What if it expired/spoiled because she already opened the can? I believe fish goes bad after 3-4 days.

Yes, you definitely shouldn't eat tuna when it is menstruating.

We can actually go back a step and say 'Never eat expired food'. Period. The expiry date is there for a reason.

Do you mean detox or something of the sort as the procedure botox has minimal relevance in this FML. Unless of course you refer to the source of botox, botulism bacteria, in which case it can be understood yet highly strange to state.
