Work: Today, I was walking into the building I hoped to work in someday...

By ZombieLicker - 25/11/2009 20:25 - United States

Today, I was walking into the building I hoped to work in someday with my resume, ready to be interviewed. As I walked through the doors I had to sneeze, so lifted my hands and sneezed a huge bloody booger right in the middle of the cover page. Turns out future employers don't like that. FML

Today, I went to my first job interview in months. Just minutes in, a sudden huge, uncontrollable sneeze overcame me. A wad of snot flew out onto my shirt, which I didn't even notice until the visibly disgusted interviewer pointed it out. FML

New face

Today, I went back to work after being sick for a week. While I was gone, they hired a new manager. Trying to score bonus points, and possibly a raise, I went to shake her hand and introduce myself. Just as I was about to say, "Hello, my name is…" I sneezed right in her face. FML

Itching and scratching

By BMXDude22 - 06/10/2023 07:30 - United States

Today, I went for a job interview, under the impression that I had taken my allergy medication, and had a sneezing fit. Each sneeze seemed to get louder, and every time I blew my nose, it set the sneezing off again. By the end, the entire interview panel was staring at me in disbelief. FML

Today, while meeting some of the big boss guys at my new job, one of the men sneezed on his hand and then grabbed mine for a handshake. I felt every gooey bit of his snot between our hands. FML

Today, I burped and sneezed during a job interview, I don’t think they were impressed by my talents. FML

Good job

By Debbie - 23/02/2009 14:16 - United States

Today, I drove to a job interview. I had to sneeze, but because I was driving on the highway, I didn't let go of the wheel to cover my mouth. I didn't know the sneeze was a "productive" one until I was sitting in the interview, looked down at my new blouse, and saw the giant lugie sitting there. FML

Today, I am sick with a cold and I go to the most important interview of my life. A giant glob of wet snot comes out of my nose when I am expressing my desire to join their team. FML

The trumpet of success

By interviewed - 16/09/2009 10:37 - United States

Today, I went to an interview for a job I really wanted and am qualified for. I've been looking for months. This job was perfect; close to home and great pay. Needless to say I spent quite a while preparing. Everything was going great until I had to sneeze, which forced out a loud, long fart. FML

Crime scene

Today, I parked in the parking lot at work feeling like I had to sneeze. As I was walking in, the sneeze finally came. Apparently, my nose was bleeding so when I sneezed, blood got all over the floor and my brand new work clothes. FML

Memorable presentation

By paul - 02/02/2010 11:25 - France

Today, I had a big meeting. Halfway through my presentation, I sneezed, and continued talking. I get some weird looks from my co-workers, but I didn't understand what they meant. When I finished, I passed by my boss walking to my chair, and he gave me a handkerchief. Why? Snot was all over my tie. FML

When they say you need to do something to make your resume stand out, that snot what they mean.

"Turns out employers don't like that?" Was there ever any doubt in your mind?

At least you learned a lesson: if you have something important in your hands, DON'T SNEEZE ON IT.

YDI for being a dumbass. ALWAYS have extra copies of your resume. It's just comon sense. It's probably good you got shot down right away tho. You probably would of been fired in less than a month anyway. You really aren't too bright.

I highly doubt they didn't hire you cause of a booger... people... we all have snot, it's a fact of life. Possible employers don't hire people because of their snot.

Do something about those anger management problems you have because I swear those hemorrhoids in your ass are going to explode and leave a blood stain 10000x as big as the one from the booger. Also get a grammar teacher, douchEbag. ******* moron.

I am sorry that I have to agree with gemeni02. Why would you take only one copy? I would take multiple copies...at least two. And I would just wipe it off with a tissue and pray that there won't be any stains. But what I would personally do is bring multiple cover pages because they are the most vulnerable pages for food stains...or snot stains in your case. I say FYL because you don't deserve that happening to you. Although it would have been smart to bring another copy of the entire thing/another copy of the cover page, you still don't deserve that happening to you.
