Today, my OCD manager sprayed my hands with chemicals because I'd touched the bin while throwing away a piece of paper. My hands are now covered in itchy, unattractive rashes. FML

Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I found out how acidic some of the chemicals I work with are. After a chemical shower, minor burns, and having to throw away my clothes due to a biohazard, I had the pleasure of running across the parking lot to my car, wearing only a lab coat around my waist. FML
Today, I saw my co-worker sneeze into his palm, get up, walk to my desk and smear his hand all over my computer mouse. He then went back to his desk and continued with his work. Last week we had a workplace awareness meeting about my OCD and fear of germs. FML
Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. FML
Today, I received roughly 50 paper cuts while I was at work. I didn't realize this until after I applied hand sanitizer. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Today, I had to take out the grease traps from our fryers. A very rude co-worker cut me off, so I had to abruptly stop and try to prevent as much spilling as possible. Luckily, it only spilled on me. I'm here for six more hours with burned, smelly, greasy spots all over my skin and clothes. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, as if having diarrhea at work wasn’t bad enough, my office’s aggressively flushing toilet sprayed me with my own liquid shit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

OCD sucks. I can say that she really can't help it. I've been there, and everyone gets annoyed with me over my "quirks" too. I know it sucks for you OP, but your manager really can't control it. It sucks for all parties involved

Sounds more like germophobe than OCD

Germaphobia is a way OCD can manifest.

To everyone that has said "oh she has OCD and can't help it" that's bullshit! There are meds and support groups and all kinds of different resources to manage OCD. I know I have OCD as well it's hard at first, but it's actually easy to manage. So with that being said, yes in fact she can help it.

I don't think the OCD is an excuse for what she did, but you can't just say that it's easy to manage. OCD is one of the hardest illnessess to manage. Many people have actually become insane by trying to treat their OCD. It's not just something you can stop by wanting it really hard. I'm happy for you that the medication and psychiatrists work for you, but either they don't work for the boss, or she hasn't tried them yet and no OCD-case is alike. Don't think that because it was easy for you, that it is easy for everyone. I had a friend that killed herself because she couldn't handle the treatment.

And that's a valid excuse to spray your employees with chemical irritants?

Ok so a) I don't control my OCD by "wanting it really hard" and b) who said that I was on meds and go see a doctor? Did I state that anywhere? No I did not, you are assuming these things. And you might have assumed that your friend killed herself over her OCD, but there could have been more things going on than what you knew. Thank you and have a great day!

If the manager didn't ask first, speak with him/her about it. If that doesn't help, file a complaint.

Good thing you don't work at a hospital...of in the case she doesn't...
