Work: Today, I was going to my first job interview since I was laid...

Today, I was going to my first job interview since I was laid off. About 10 yards from the door, I felt a sharp pain in my side and something in my pocket. It turned out to be a knife in my side, and a mugger robbing me because I looked rich. I haven't had any money in months, and missed the interview. FML

Today, I picked up a penny off the street for good luck on my job interview. A few seconds later, a hobo beat me up, took my wallet, and ran off. The whole ordeal made me late for the interview. So much for good luck. FML

Today, I got mugged. I also got an extra kick in the face for not having money in my wallet. FML

Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML

Today, I had a job interview but couldn't find my car keys. I had searched the entire apartment and had missed the interview. Turns out they were in my pocket the entire time. FML

Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML

Today, I went in my car to a very important job interview. I was out of gas, so I had to get some on the way. When i was done pumping, I went to get back in and the door handle broke off on the driver's side. Then I blew a tire on a piece of metal. Needless to say, I lost my chance. FML

Today, I lost my $100 in cash that I had to use to pay my phone bill. As a result, my phone got cut off and I missed an important call for an apartment that I was looking at. When I went to work, I heard my boss saying how lucky she was to find $100 in cash. FML

Today, I got mugged. As the guys who took my purse were about to walk away, my cellphone rang in my pocket. FML

Today, I got mugged. I almost felt sorry for him: he got a $15 cell phone, a frozen debit card, a credit card with only $50 of credit left on it, and no cash. FML

Can't you just explain what happened and arrange another interview?

Don't worry. That mugger is going to die of a heroine addiction in 5 years and Satan will have his way with him/her.

1 take an unarmed self defense course. 2. get a permit, buy a gun, and learn how to use it, then carry it with you. 3. failing the above, don't carry all your ******* money with you all the time.

Who says they were carrying all their money with them? Do you think the mugger has x-ray vision to see into the person's wallet to see if he has $1 or $1,000? I mean, honestly, in what world would your "suggestion"number 3 make sense as a way to prevent this from happening??

The correct thing to do in this situation is go tell the receptionist that you're there for the interview, then calmly explain that you left your cell phone at home and politely ask her/him to call the police and report that you were mugged at knife point and would like to file a report AFTER the interview. That would show your commitment to work, employers love that stuff
