Yikes…this is pretty humiliating…

It’s a fact that everyone gets embarrassed by their parents at some point in their lives, but what you’re about to read will make even the most hardened person cringe.

The man who wrote it explained how a job interview done by video turned into a horror show…and it was all because of his mom.

Read on and see what he had to say about this situation.

Mom Came Into the Room While I Was in a Video Interview.

“I was on a video call doing an interview for a job that, honestly, I’m very excited about and really want to get.

In the middle of the interview, my mom came back from some errands she was running and started whispering to me and making gestures from behind the laptop.

Dude…this is not cool…

I got flustered and started stumbling over my answers for about a minute. I was already nervous because, like I said, I really want this position.

She stayed standing there until the interview ended.

And since our apartment door is loud and I was nervous, I found myself saying that I got a little distracted because my mom had just come in.

And it’s totally inappropriate!

Could this affect my chances?

I’m so embarrassed.

The person interviewing me was also the manager in charge of the whole region at the company, which made the feeling worse.

She seemed like she was fine with it, but oh my god…”

This is too much!

I sincerely hope that his job opportunity wasn’t jeopardized by his mom’s intrusion.

Poor guy…

He needs to be firm and tell his mom to stay out of his business.
