Today, my son was fired from his new job, which was going to support us since I recently lost mine. His excuse was, "Conflict of interest." He was a mascot for a fast-food restaurant and refused to dance around. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, our company's owner's son took over. The first thing he did? Fire me. Why? He said my sales are down. I work in Public Relations. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML
Today, I was supposed to train a new hire, grateful to finally have someone else here with me on my shift. He didn't show up. I found out later that his mother didn't want him working here because she thinks he's too smart for this job. I found him working at the McDonald's a few blocks away. We pay more than they do. FML
Today, I got fired from my job at a small start-up company. Why? The CEO wanted to give a job to one of his former fraternity brothers who is out of work, and they couldn't afford to keep us both. FML
Today, my mom cussed at me because I denied my struggling cousin a job at my company, and now it's my fault he and his family will suffer and starve. He was fired from his former job as a payroll officer, and is now blacklisted. Over 30 people got zero on payday, as he later went Living La Vida Loca with his "bonus". FML

You were going to support your family off of your son's job?

It's terrible having to ask a child to get a job to support his parents. It's worse still asking him to do something humiliating like that. Try to have some understanding, and next time have him get a better job. Like a stripper.

Get a job, you worthless P.O.S.! Don't you have any self respect? Quit depending on your son for money and get some welfare or some food stamps!

She just lost hers, so she may in fact be trying her hardest to find one. In the meantime, sonny boy refuses to dance for the family's food...

What is wrong with you? who is the child and who is the parent? Its not your child's job to support your family! how about you grow up and get another job?

Your son shouldnt have to support YOUR family, let alone where he has to humiliate himself in a chicken costume. YDI, get yourself a job.

You are his mother. Get a fkin job and let him do his, which should be studying to make something of himself in the future. Not working as a stupid mascot in a restaurant.

i dont know why, but i imagine the son in this case being 30 and this being his first job ever >:)

Regardless of the son's age, you're his parent. And unless YOU'RE well into your retirement age and/or medically incapable, your son shouldn't be supporting you. I sincerely hope you're actively searching for another job. Seriously, relying on a job where the person is dressed up as a mascot for a fast food restaurant? Go find some work yourself.
