    So this is the Job Application From for the OMFG Magazine… now I understand

    • fluffy the fish says:

      A little further down they ask if he has any experience raping.

    • The L says:

      A lot of people who apply for min-wage jobs are uneducated or still learning English. A former manager told me she had an application once with “Desired Position” listed as “kook.” So while the misspelling of “higher” is a fail for many of us, I don’t think the “Fail” label is really accurate in this case. The person may simply not know how to spell the word due to an unfamiliarity with English.

  5. Stryder says:

    He was obviously going to say ‘hieroglyphics’.

  6. Yeti says:

    I haven’t understand this fail (sorry i am not english), can someone explain this ?

  7. Dude says:

    A spelling Fail indeed

  8. Fail Funnies says:

    Thats the employee that I want. Self esteem fail.

  9. Unmentionable says:

    What is up with the quality of fails lately? There’s a whole bunch of perfectly good fails wasting away in the bowels of the Vote section, and we get mediocre stuff over here. How many votes does it take to get something on the front page, anyway?

    • Admiral Apparent says:

      We’ll know soon enough.

    • thepowerofblue says:

      I don’t think it’s a number of votes, I think it’s based on the ratio of thumbs up votes to thumbs down votes. I’ve noticed several that had only a small minority of votes cast for thumbs down and those ones always seemed to make it to the main page very quickly.

  10. cloudberry says:

    Perhaps this person is new to America and doesn’t know English yet. That would explain the request for minimum wage and the bad spelling without calling the person stupid.

    • Mookie says:

      But calling people stupid is so much fun.

    • Ryan N says:

      S/he could find someone to help with the spelling. If s/he was actually smart, s/he would know s/he couldn’t spell very well in English and that spelling mistakes on job apps are bad, and it’s necessary to either have someone else proofread or look up the spellings on one’s own.

  11. Mookie says:

    Well, someone has to clean the Portajohns.

  12. Sara J says:

    How I wish I made mim wage or hier.

  13. Dragonwriter says:

    Maybe s/he is French, and is saying “Mim, wage or tomorrow.”

    ‘Cuz…you know…that makes so much more sense.

    • Simmo33 says:

      Hier means yesterday.

    • czuhc says:

      Dragonwriter ! Comment est-ce possible ? To make such a linguistic mistake !

      • Loz says:

        I had to blink numerous times! She will regret this demain!

        • Dragonwriter says:

          Okay…here’s what happened.

          I had a dream in which every word I used actually meant the opposite of what I said. So, when I was dreaming of my admirable Admiral (as I am wont to do…*blush*) and I said to him, “Festoon me with Paul socks and don’t forget the duct tape,” what actually came out was, “Strip me naked and free me as only you know how!”

          Which, let’s face it, would end up the same way, anyway.

          So. OBVIOUSLY I was sleepwalking during this dream, and I came downstairs and logged onto Failblog and responded to this fail whilst still in the grips of my “linguistically opposite” delirium.

          • Dr Hugh says:

            … nothing was heard but trouser buttons hitting ceilings all round the world as the assembled contemplated this new fantasy. … duct tape eh!

          • Admiral Apparent says:

            That’s strange, I had a dream where we were duct taped together and to a clapper inside a giant bell. You were wearing a corset held together with thousands of paper clips. Our only hope of cutting through the duct tape was to get at the boning in your corset. I had to remove all those paper clips with my teeth, one by one. We were inexorably building up momentum, and I began to work feverishly when we started to lightly strike the bell. We freed ourselves and fell together, still clutching each other, into a giant aerie festooned with Paul socks, just as the bells above reached a crescendo.

            • Ryannon says:

              I think I need a tissue after reading that.

            • Dragonwriter says:

              That reminds me of the dream I had a few nights ago. We were standing in line at the WAS Bank and you were reading to me from a Jane Austen novel and teasing me because I was in it. Tom Cruise was standing in front of us, and for some reason he kept looking you straight in the neck when suddenly, a troll appeared out of nowhere and tried to abduct me with duct tape. But you had some Ultra-Strength Douche Repellant and saved me. You wrapped your arms around me, and suddenly we were lying in a nest of feathers wearing nothing but Paul socks…and then I taught you how to really and truly fly. We soared together, rising and falling in unison, going higher and higher and higher still until we reached that moment of absolute harmony and I learned what it really means to tintinnabulate!

    • Feyn says:

      Maybe s/he is German, and is saying “Mim wage or here.”
      `Cuz…you know…that makes so much more absolutely no sense at all.

      • Dr Hugh says:

        It makes more sense in German. Mim, wage or bier. Mim must be the head of personel. The comma slid down the page a little.

        • Feyn says:

          If you see that “h” as an “b” the sentence is not only correct, but also profound!
          “Mim, I either want wage or beer.”

    • czuhc says:

      Maybe s/he meant “heir”. Like, you know, “Give me a wage or better: drop dead and give me ALL your possessions”

    • czuhc says:

      Any connection between Mîm and the dragon ?

    • TheCannyScot says:

      I don’t understand how everyone is getting this wrong. The word is obviously supposed to be hire. They want the same wage as Mim or else to get hired. Seems simple enough.

      • Lunchbox says:

        Thank you. Oh, by the way, your babysitter called, and it’s time for you to go back to literal-land. Goodbye!

        • Ignotus says:

          Congratulations at missing the point!
          Though I do agree that the explanation is a bit off. Either they want to be hired, or they want this Mim person, probably as a personal servant.

      • Lariss says:

        The person actually meant “higher” not to be hired. It’s not a misspelling as much as it is an inability to spell. Higher sounds like hi-er.

  14. kannadzuki says:

    I think Dragon wants to go back to the future.

    Si nous prenons l’hier, peut-être nous serions les maîtres(ses) de demain.

  15. Mookie says:

    He’s applying to be an edditer.

  16. Meems says:

    That was a fail within a fail… FIAL! LOL!!

  17. Capt. Awesome says:

    He was either trying to say heiroglyphs or Hier Hetrir. Damn niza.

  18. Ex-Saffa says:

    I thought that was Afrikaans, at first.

  19. Whodat says:

    what probably happened was she was filling this out in wallmart where all the little kids are running around playing guitar hero 3 and screaming
    HIER KOMMIT ALEX

  20. .') says:

    Firsti
    I am thirsty

  21. KatehThaKitteh says:

    Looks like the kind of thing you’d see at Wal-Mart…

  22. Lildog says:

    It is just kinda sad really :(

  23. Robert says:

    Yeah…mim wage is probably accurate.

  24. ktr2003 says:

    wow, I never knew hier is an English word although it is a word in German, but then it still doesn’t make sense because that means hier.

    That’s the US education system in a nutshell!

  25. Ashley says:

    That’s a Papa John’s app. I am a G.M. for P.J.’s and I see that kind of thing all the time on applications. Funny stuff.

  26. aperson says:

    you idiot! you spelled fail wrong! FAIL!

  27. midget says:

    you stole my word loser (fial)

  28. nobbe says:

    I have reams and reams of applications much worse than this.

  29. KoT says:

    Looks like Obama’s application to McSocialism in high school!

  30. Preston says:

    whats the problem? you get what you pay for.

  31. thejewbag says:

    i dont know what is more fail….the guy who spelled fail, or the guy who spelled hier.

  32. -Spitfire- says:

    Uhh, spelling “fail” fail?

    Unless that was on purpose… :P

  33. The sad thing is that they probably got hired. Any time I take a test and get the answers right, I’m never called.

  34. Maneesha/Mya says:

    you spelled FAIL wrong!!!

  35. Amanda says:

    All your jobs are belong to us.

  36. Ash says:

    He he, I like how it says “FIAL” :P

  37. DumBazz says:

    double fail!!!

  38. nikola says:

    FIAL FAIL lol

  39. solomka says:

    Writing the word Fail, Fail

  40. Sam says:

    You definitely spelled fail wrong.
    KEKEKE

  41. alex says:

    someone spelled fail wrong:fial is not how u spell fail

  42. This is not something to be made fun of, and I know every one ahtes the douche that makes comments like these, but if anyone needs our help instead of our bull shit it’s people like this. My mother could not read above a 3rd grade level until she started reading to me and my sisters. I know that sounds really bad, but she has a disability that wasn’t understood until after she graduated high school. There are plenty of people out there that are either too scared to ask for help or are too ashamed. Who ever took this photo should reconsider their motives, but still decide for himself whether he wants to un-post it off or not.

  43. christian dean says:

    fial FAIL!!!!! hahahaha

  44. Mary says:

    Has anyone noticed FIAL??

  45. Anonymous says:

    The picture itself is fail. Look at the way it’s spelled.

  46. IlikeEngrish says:

    The caption is also a fail. XD

  47. Brent says:

    It’s misspelled to make fun of the misspelling. Wow. The fact that you are judging others based on their mistakes is somewhat ironic, is it not?

  48. taylor says:

    lol my friend wanted $40 an hour for a casheir job and we started laughing at him and then said he wanted $20 instead after we told him it was too high

  49. blablabla says:

    FIAL fail!!!

  50. Joo says:

    umm…
    isnt THIS fail???
    FIAL?????

  51. TIREBOUCHON says:

    FIAL FAIL

  52. Breane says:

  53. Bwggy says:

    I doubt they’re worth hier than minimum
