Work: Today, while I was waiting for an interview, I picked at a something...

Today, while I was waiting for an interview, I picked at a something I felt on my chin thinking that it was just some food. I had a good interview. Then I got into my car and looked in the mirror, and saw that I had blood smeared all over my chin. Turns out I had picked a zit. No one told me. FML

Today, I had an admissions interview at my dream college. I spent hours practicing questions and picking the perfect outfit. It was not until after the interview that I realized I'd scratched a pimple while waiting, and my forehead had been smeared with blood the entire time. FML

Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly lean in towards the mirror to pop the pimple meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML

Today, I went to a barbecue and noticed a girl that I had be interested in. When I walked up to ask how she was doing I noticed she had some BBQ sauce on her face. Jokingly I licked my thumb and reach to remove it. It turned out to be a scab from a pimple she had popped earlier. FML

Today, I went on a movie date. During the movie, I picked a small zit on my forehead. Afterwards, at dinner, he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of my face. I thought he was staring lovingly at me. He was actually staring at a large throbbing zit with a trail of blood coming from it. FML

Today, while at work, I managed to scrape open the inside of my nose with my fingernail, drawing blood in the process. I had to quickly up an explanation for my scream that didn't go: "Well, I was scouting for boogers..." FML

Today, while sharing my screen with our tech guy at work, I forgot he was there and opened Facetime to pick a zit on my chin. After going in for the squeeze, I horrifyingly remembered he could see everything and quickly closed it. After a few seconds, he said, "Did you get it?" FML

First Dates

Today, I was on a date. I noticed he kept looking at my lips. Thinking he wanted to kiss me, I leaned in closer. Disgusted, he pulled away and said, "I'm sorry, but that pimple on your chin is, like, staring at me or something." FML

Rash decision

Today, I had a job interview and things were going really well until I noticed the woman interviewing me staring at the inside of my elbow. I am recovering from a poison sumac rash, and each spot looks like a puncture wound from a syringe. I was dismissed before the interview was over. FML

Today, I reached to pick out a booger stuck in my nose that had been irritating me, and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML

Today, I woke up with really dry, chapped lips. Still in bed, without my glasses on, I sleepily reached down into my purse for some chapstick and applied it. Upon awakening later I realized I had mistaken a mini Sharpie permanent marker for chapstick. I have a job interview today. FML

You really couldn't tell the difference? How does food ever get stuck to your face so much that you need to pick at it?

Maybe they thought the blood meant you were a vampire, and that you had just fed on the blood of a virgin. They must have been so terrified of you that nobody had the guts to say anything.

^This. And zits hurt when you pick at them, especially to the point where they bleed.

Nyeah, not all zits hurt, sometimes you pick at it and it starts bleeding, but you only notice when you see blood on your hand.

I rarely tell people they got something on their face. Why ruin the surprise?

Maybe they tried to warn you. Sometimes if someone has something on their face, I'll rub that area while staring at them and for some reason they do the same and get it off.

No one ever tells you stuff like that.

Agreed. I don't see why you'd be surprised that no one mentioned to a complete stranger, in a formal situation, the embarrassing fact that they had a bleeding zit on their face.

For a friend I will....I don't want them to be embarrassed. An enemy? I'll have them speak to lots of people and somehow find a perfect picture moment...

If they told you, you would have been so embarrassed/horrified that you might messed up on your interview =) Be happy, if the interview really went great then maybe they'll totally forget about the zit.

Oh wow I would have been mortified. But like #9 pointed out, everyone on the planet gets a zit from time to time. If your interview was great, they may have just brushed it off as a human moment and it may not affect whether they choose to hire you or not.
