Today, I got turned down by my dream job because their rival company happens to be called my exact name. I'm now known as "The Spy". FML

Today, I had an interview for a pretty interesting job. Everything was going smoothly until I referred to their company by the wrong name, not once, but three times. They politely corrected me each time, but I could see the resentment in their eyes, especially because it was the name of their main competitor. I probably won't be getting the job, huh? FML

That's a pretty cool new name you have though... Side note: dick move by the company to not hire you for that reason. Stupid.

Join their rival and have fun crushing them! It's just business with a dash of Personal.

I don't think OP wants us to know, which is why it was posted by anonymous.

A lot of FMLs are posted anonymously. More than likely OP doesn't have an account and didn't post under a nickname.

I would have told them to call me 007 before leaving dramatically. Nothing can go wrong being James Bond, even being turned down from an awesome job. Just go apply there and say it was meant to be!

It's weird that your parents named you PetSmart. But Petco should not be your dream job.

Turn down for what *music playing loud* sorry, keep hearing that inside my head when I read "turn(ed) down" you must have either a very common name or a very awesome one. I'll be waiting for the follow up!

That is ridiculous. Especially if you had nothing to do with their rival company.
