I said something mortifying in this interview, no chance of the job now is there?!

I went in today for a role I can work alongside my current studies. It was a lovely company and a friendly atmosphere.

The interview went well and I felt pleased with myself. Until a set of employees came into view and made me say something awful.

The woman was opening a gift someone has just given her... Her grin was huge! My would be boss said "Ahh, she does look happy! What a picture".

I said "Yes! She looks like the cat who licked the flaps!"

What I really meant was the cat who got the cream It came out all wrong. The boss looked a bit stumbled and then patted me on the back to follow the other person who'd interviewed me back to the entrance.

I'm mortified. I've no idea how it came out in such a way. It's horrendous. Since having my DC I've often stumbled on words and used the wrong phrase but normally just in the wrong order.

I could've crawled into a hole and stayed. No chance of that job now, is there?

This happened yesterday late afternoon. They were letting people know Monday.

Keeping it classy @hellocanyouhearme 😉

Good luck op. I'm sure you won't lose the job over this if it's meant for you. Hope you get some good news tomorrow

If I was interviewing you I would certainly remember you but not in a bad way. If she has a good sense of humour it won't affect the outcome!

OMG I can`t stop laughing.
Oh to be a fly on his wall when he repeats that to someone.
I hope you get the job and keep us posted on your next blooper.

I saw a cat today (it was doing absolutely nothing interesting) and got a fit of giggles because of this thread 😂

Aww, Op, that made me laugh. But with cats, my mind immediately went to catflaps.

And it's easy done to get phrases mangled up. Hopefully, it gave them a laugh after a long morning interviewing.

I once said ' like a horse that has two bollocks'.

Meant to add, OP, its word association in your mind that is coming to play.

Bet you're great at those games!!

Cream!
Cat!
Flap!

You just missed out the cream.

This is my new phrase.

I'd definitely give you the job OP.

This has cheered me immensely! Can't stop laughing, tears and all 😂😂😂

goodness me. you poor soul. thanks for sharing. hope you get the job!!

Crying with laughter 😂😂
Hope you get the job!
What we're you thinking of when you said that

Maybe they thought you meant envelope flaps, like cats could help with sending the letters out?

Love it. Pussy would have been worse. lol 😂

Following in the hope you got the job.

FWIW, I'd adore to work with you

That is funny

I love the ‘big buts’ too. Reminds me of Beavis and Butthead

Hope you hear good news tomorrow, OP!

There'll be at least 5 name changes in honour of this.

I put down some cat cream and found myself laughing all over again.

Even more so, when Dh questioned why i was giving the new coffee creamers to the cats!

I really hope you get the job op - this is definitely one you will laugh at in years to come lol xx

I'd employ you for your quirky banter! Fingers crossed

Well I'm sitting here unable to sleep with terrible nerve pain and you have just honestly made me laugh !!! Fuck me I'd give you a job just for stress relief 😂😂 good luck though ( at least they will remember you 😜) love it .

Where I worked you'd have been offered the job on the spot!

Omg so v funny well done. I would employ you.

This is class!! It wouldn't have put my boss off employing you, as others have said, it's probably risen your chances! Everyone likes someone who makes them laugh! Good luck, keep us posted

Did you hear from them today? Fingers crossed for you!

It wouldn't have put me off hiring you!
