Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML
Today, after being a resident DJ at a local club for over 4 years, I got fired. Not because I'm bad at what I do, but because my boss thinks I'm not 'having fun like the other DJs'. And by 'having fun' he means that I don't drink enough. I got fired for not being an alcoholic. FML
Today, my boss fired me for being on Facebook at work. He did it via a wall post on Facebook saying, "ur fired." Six of my friends liked this. FML
Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML
Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML
Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML
Today, the pictures from last night's party were put on Facebook. The pictures that show me getting in a drunken fight with a girl and her putting my face through the wall. FML
Today, I was fired for telling a customer's kid to shut his mouth. As revenge, I sent the CEO a picture I acquired months ago of my boss drunkenly pissing on a cow. He wrote that it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, and that I am "clearly an insufferable killjoy; a total liability to the company." FML
Today, my boss fired me. Then later on Facebook, his public status was, "Finally fired the sumo wrestler!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, too bad you're not living in Austria - drinking is legal at age 16 here. Strange country, indeed... driving at 16, lax gun regulations - but beware if you sip a beer at age 20. Bizarre.

I agree. America is a land of so much freedom in some ways and yet so much restriction in others.

Honestly, I don't understand why the drinking age is so high in the US. You can legally have sex, vote, and drive, but you can't have a beer till you're 21? :/ It seems so idiotic. That said, it was your boss's party. Why would you drink in front of your boss if you know it is illegal? Then to top it all off you put the pictures on Facebook. YDI.

I don't understand it either. Here in Belgium it seems more logical: at 16 you may drink beers and at 18 you may drink the heavy stuff and drive a car. How older, how more responsibility people are able to get.

You know, sometimes people tag you, and it may have been too late for her to delete it. However,if you know that your boss is such a huge morality prick - why did you drink at his party anyways?

True. You can also get married at 18. It's a strange world... :P

Hey genius. Just because he supplied the alcohol doesn't mean you had to drink it.

If you did not explain to him how blackmail works, you deserve it. He supplied you, a minor, with booze. He is in so much more shit than you are if you go forward to the police. Go back in there and get your job back.

The drinking age is 21 in American due to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). Years ago, studies were done that showed most drunk driving accidents happened between the ages of 18-21, so MADD somehow petitioned the government to increase the drinking age to 21, when (theoretically) people were more apt at making the decision not to drink and drive. The federal government doesn't have the power to increase the drinking age directly as that's officially the state's choice. The federal government does, however, offer a high incentive in, I believe, road repair (or something) costs for any state that does use 21 as their drinking age. Obviously, I don't remember this exactly. If you care to know more exact details, google is available. Oh, and I don't agree. I think it's stupid and 18 is the age to go. Other countries have obviously handled that as their drinking age quite well. If we're old enough to get married and die for our country at 18, we're old enough to drink.

Ok, you knew you were underage, yet you chose to drink (you're not the first and you won't be the last) but why, why, why did you think it was a good idea to be photographed, and have the pics put on Facebook for people to see? Also, just because it's his party doesn't mean he intended for underage to be drinking. I imagine he'd also supplied soft-drinks for drivers and underaged etc. Unless he personally supplied you with booze, it's not his fault.
