Today, at work I was told I'd be working over Christmas because I don't drink. Apparently if you're tee-total, you're not entitled to spend time with your family and are incapable of having fun. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, I'm the designated driver for a Christmas party I wasn't even invited to. Not only do I get to watch people have a good time, but I'm also supposed to not get involved in the party. 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, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I was demoted at my job for sleeping in the store when I'd have a few after closing. Apparently, they would rather have me drive drunk than do the responsible thing. FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Today, I got promoted to a management position. After work, I went for a drink with my co-manager and a few of our colleagues, where they discussed their plans to take Ecstasy before/during our work Christmas party. Wonderful. FML
Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tee-total means that you do not drink alcohol. Ever. FYL for having a crappy work enviroment. Get it in writing and then take it up with higher management . . . Personally I think you should get extra time off for not wasting company time with hangovers like the others!

I've never been told I'm less fun for being sober, actually, and I can't drink for medical reasons. Does that make you horribly butthurt? The idea that some people don't drink seems to offend you personally for some reason.

As effed up as the resulting situation is, it IS based on a sort of compliment: We can count that you will be capable of working well, we can't say the same for the known drinkers who will probably be too hungover to function. Damn irritating and unfair to be dumped on because you're dependable, but at least you have their trust.

I'm sure op is a self righteous douche about it. I wouldn't consider myself a drinker either but I don't go around preaching about it so no one at work knows..

Did your boss tell you that (FYL) or are you insinuating (YDI)? How do you know you're just not the only one who didn't request that day off?

Maybe you should start drinking! Just kidding. Drinking is a bad habit and I think they should reward you for not drinking.
