Today, I went for a job interview on my birthday. I had on a shirt and a tie on and I had my Blackberry in my pocket. I was running a little late, so I dashed outside. When I came out of the door, a bunch of my buddies screamed HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and poured Gatorade all over me. FML

Today, my friends woke me up on my birthday by spraying me with silly string. I have a job interview and it won't come out of my hair. FML

Ignore! Ignore!

Today, I was at a job interview when my phone started ringing. It was my mom, so I quickly hit "Ignore", which was probably for the best since she was obviously drunk. She left a voicemail in which she sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It's not my birthday. FML

The old switcheroo

By Anonymous - 13/03/2013 16:14 - United States - New York

Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Today, I got a phone call for a interview at Target at 4:30 pm. I got super excited, so I got dressed up and headed over there. I told the manager that I was there for my interview. He didn't know what I was talking about. My friends had prank called me. FML

Falling at the first hurdle

By Anonymous - 29/10/2024 09:00 - United Kingdom - London

Today, I went to a job interview super early and giddy with enthusiasm. While waiting in the lobby, I struck up a friendly conversation with a bloke who was also waiting around in a suit. I jokingly told him, “Good luck mate, but I’m getting this job.” Turns out he was the hiring manager. FML

The Apprentice

Today, I was to have an important phone interview for a job. I got a call and everything went perfectly, and they said I was hired. Later, I found out that one of my "friends" had gotten one of his buddies to prank call me and make sure the line was engaged when the real interviewer called. FML

Happy birthday to me

By lukey101 - 20/07/2023 02:00 - Australia

Today, it’s my birthday. My boss treated me to a day off work, except my mother called at 12:01am drunk as hell screaming, “Happy birthday” down the phone. When I finally fell back asleep, I awoke to my boss asking me to come in after all. FML

Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML

Well, if you were applying for a job at a Gatorade factory, this wouldn't have been so bad.

If you live in America, you should sue your friends for the lifelong salary they just cost you - you'll win

Just cause he was going to an interview doesn't mean he's jobless. Maybe he's looking for a new one. anyway, yeah, that's just bad timing, really. haha they were just trying to have some fun. it sucks the interview was on your birthday, though. hope you got the job regardless!

#28 - My comments have been removed for saying even the slightest thing negative towards someone else, so if that's how they run things here, then they should do it for everyone or not do it at all.

Ouch, hope you didn't lose too much money, or a phone. That could be quite expensive, especially now that you're unemployed.

#42; You're an idiot, potentially ruining your chances of getting a job is not "fun". And considering that this was GATORADE the OP probably had to take a shower, not just change their clothes. Or do you frequently leave your house sticky and covered in juice?
