Today, my boss told me that there is no point in making me cut onions anymore because every time I do, I look like I've "been beaten", and can't be seen by the customers for at least half an hour. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, my boss told me to cut my long hair. After coming back to work with a clean cut hairstyle, he apparently thought I was the new guy, and said I was going to be trained by "The long-haired girly-looking idiot." FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, I told my boss I was bored of being a cashier and would rather go to food prep. He told me I couldn't because my arms were too hairy. I'm a sixteen year old girl. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office and bitched me out for a good half hour for my attitude to our customers. Apparently I always look pissed off and sound sarcastic. That's just my face at rest. FML
Today, my boss pretty much told me that I'm too ugly to meet clients, and should stay in the office doing the paperwork. So basically, I'm a modern day Hunchback of Notre Dame. FML
Today, my boss told me to "act more professionally." So… I sat in the corner and cried for an hour. FML
Today, my boss commented on the fact that I don't usually wear makeup, then told me it would be much appreciated if I'd change that. FML
Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Check with your doctor, OP. You might be having an allergic reaction.

Chewing gum always works for me, but is it bad that you don't have to cut onions anymore?

Just dab a little lemon juice underneath your eyes. It should help... unless you have sensitive skin like me, then a cheap pair of swimming goggles should do the trick. :)

Or OP could listen to the boss and not cut the onions.

Know what really get's me irritated? When people use apostrophe's inappropriately, especially to denote plural's. Drive's me ******* nut's. It should be "customers", OP.

Don't be embarrassed. I have the same reaction to them. I don't even like them. Well at least you got out of something unpleasant. Maybe though there are some tricks if you want to try them like putting bread in your mouth when you are cutting them. Good luck.

Chew gum? I hear that helps. Cut the onion tips off. Then in half. Put the cut edges onto the plate ASAP!

when i was a manager at Quizno's Subs, we had a pair of goggles for people to wear when slicing onions. but try putting a cup of water nearby. the acid is attracted to the water in your eyes and placing water will nearby will attract most of it.

I see this as a victory for you, OP. Cutting onions suck ass and should be passed on to the new hires.
