Today, I got fired. There was a customer last night who showed up two minutes after our closing time, 11 p.m.. She knocked on the door many times, but I ignored her and kept sweeping the floor. She eventually left. Turns out she’s the VP’s daughter and told him I was “rude and inconsiderate” to her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the most obnoxious customer came into my job. She surprisingly scrutinized everything I did. She even mentioned I didn’t offer our store credit card (I honestly forgot due to being overwhelmed by her rude attitude). Turns out she was a secret shopper. Apparently, I failed her little tests. I was fired. FML
Today, my duty manager demanded we close the bar early because she wanted to go home. I was subject to abuse from customers for closing early, then shouted at by the duty manager for not being done. My actual bar manager fired me for closing early. FML
Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML
Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML
Today, I was fired from the job I've had for 15 years. My boss recently hired his daughter as a senior manager and she made several cuts because, as she put it, the sales team was "too old and lame". I didn't know being a young bitch was a requirement to work at a furniture warehouse. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Right, because the VP's daughter couldn't announce herself at the door, or even better yet NOT show up 2 minutes after closing.

I get that you’re closed, but if you ignore someone and they keep knocking, sometimes it’s because they have an emergency. I would go to the door to tell them we are closed, thus giving an opportunity for someone to say something like “I’m being followed, can I use your phone” or just “okay, thanks/sorry”. In any case, you shouldn’t have been fired for that.

You were. You could have at least said something to the patron.

Agreed. A simple, "I'm sorry, we're closed."

It shouldn't matter who she was. A simple "We're closed" regardless of who this turned out to be would have been enough for OP to get my sympathy.

You should have seen what she needed. You need to go into a field where being an asshole is a plus. Bill collector, maybe?

This kind of thing ticks me off. Self-entitled spoiled brats playing the "do you know who my mommy/daddy is" card to get away with everything. She showed up after closing time. It's her own fault. I'd sue for wrongful termination.
