The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

I was involved in an interview situation and the proposed new role was very simple and therefore within my remit. I tried my very hardest to not get the job but I did. I was sent by HR to an intensive training course where my remit was to understand verbal communications from customers. Once I had understood the customers needs I was supposed to do what the company described as UPSELL. Once I had fully understood the customers needs and successfully sold an UPSELL I was required to very craftily CROSSSELL. I think I had this concept pretty much nailed as they say in the vernacular. To be frank; I had breezed the interview and on the training course. I was CUSTOMER FOCUSED and I knew how to understand CUSTOMER NEEDS.
Cometh the day, cometh the MAN. With post training and interview trepidation I was put on the front line. I had never felt so good about myself and the uniform. God, I loved that uniform but I digress. My first real customer!
"I would like a Big Mac, please"
I swung into action. "Is that a Big Mac meal?"
"yes" the customer replies. At this point I could look in the idiots eyes and I knew I had him.
"extra large, sir" says I
"Yes", says he. Oh yes I think to myself I AM THE BEST
what came next was I agree an aberration. Because dear reader, I SHIT MY PANTS. Such sorrow, I probably compounded the event by telling the man that I thought his teenage son was yummy and did he need any help with his Filet O Fish (if you know what I mean).
After such a hard day at work, I went home for a hot bath and whilst in the bath I got an erection. Next thing I know I was accidentally pissing in my mouth.
best thing is, the next day I got that senior director role with the FMCG I had been targeting.
