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 was running late for an important job interview because I couldn't find my keys. I place the keys on my kitchen counter every day to prevent exactly this type of situation. After few minutes and missing my interview, I finally found my keys, in my hand. FML

Today, I couldn't get to work because I couldn't find my car keys. It turns out, my mother took them and put them "somewhere safe." She can't remember where they are. FML

Today, my keys disappeared out of my car door during the 50 foot walk to the trash can. When I finally went to security after trying to find them, they said someone drove off with my car right as I walked in the door. FML

Today, I lost my keys while at the supermarket. I franticly back-tracked through the store, asking everyone I saw along the way. They eventually showed up, right where I left them... in my unattended car, the engine still running. There was an announcement made over the PA system. FML

Today, my toddler thought it would be funny to hide my car keys. After searching for hours, I found them in his toy box. FML

Today, I went through my purse to see where my keys were. I found my house keys, but not my car keys, so I freaked out. When I remembered that I was driving, I felt stupid. FML

Always keep your car keys in the same spot or else things like these happen!

I don't think telling the person interviewing you that you lost a game of hide and seek with your keys is a smart thing to do.

God is telling you that isn't the right job.

If "God" is telling you things you need to see a therapist. That's called Schizophrenia.

Sorry OP but YDI. There is never a good excuse to not be fully prepared for an interview. I have been searching for a job for a very long time and would have loved the opportunity.Better luck next time.

I don't really follow your logic. How is it the op's fault? You think he/she hid them on purpose? This has nothing to do with preparation. People sometimes lose things, it happens. Murphy's Law also demands it happens on the most inconvenient moment possible. Most likely because people tend to be nervous before job interviews.

Leave them in it. Or leave a spare set in a particular spot. As someone who hires I would have told you you were irresponsible and a waste of time and my paper.
