Today, I had to show up at an anti-drugs lecture with full-blown pink eye. It's from an ongoing bacterial infection, but the speaker said he'd heard that excuse a hundred times before, and shamed me in front of everyone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my professor gave me a huge lecture in front of the class about showing up sick, about how I was endangering the lives of other students, and kicked me out of class. As I left, everyone applauded. I'm not sick, but suffering for horrible allergies. FML
Today, my boss called me out for a drug test. His reason was because my eyes are puffy and bloodshot, making me look high. I've been suffering from allergies all week, but still had to pee in a cup in front of a complete stranger. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, I discovered that the medicated eye drops I have been taking to fight a mild eye infection show up under black lights when I walked into a party and the whole left side of my face was glowing. FML
Today, I got sent home from work for appearing stoned/under the influence of drugs. I suffer from severe hay fever, which no antihistamine has fixed yet, hence the red and glassy eyes. FML
Today, my professor called me out in the middle of a lecture to ask why I was bleeding. I then had to explain to him, in front of around one hundred of my fellow classmates, that my largest zit had burst. FML
Today, it was my first day with new contacts, but I found out they make my eyes red and itchy. Today was also the day I had a very important meeting. They think I showed up stoned. FML
Today, I had a nasty cough, but I went to college anyway. When I walked into class, I could practically smell menstrual blood in the air. After a few coughs, our instructor gave me an "Oh, shut up!" After half an hour, she kicked me out for not "taking the class seriously". FML
Today, I had to leave class early due to a profusely bleeding pimple on my forehead. FML
Today, while at a school anti-drugs assembly, the speaker asked everyone to stand up if they knew someone who had died of an overdose. As I stood up, my friend hit me in the side, making me laugh. I stood frozen under accusing glares while the speaker bitched me out for a good 5 minutes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think I'd rather you be high then have pink eye around me. Really sucks though, you should have taken the opportunity to rub the bacterium on him . My thing though is why did you show up with a contagious infection?

Better than bloodshot eyes from some other issue

You should have rubbed your eyes really well, than offered him a hearty handshake as a "thank you" for being an asshole. That sucks! FYL.

It's kind of rude of him to shame you like that. He should just learn to keep his mouth shut.

If you had full blown pinkeye you probably shouldn't be attending events with lots of people since that's super contagious. I know adults know better than kids not to touch that stuff, but seriously. Stay home and take your eye drops next time.

Try embarrassing him in front of the class

It's unfair, in my opinion, for you to be going out in such a public place with an active infection. Pink eye is highly contagious. Do you also buy groceries when you have the flu?

Not necessarily. I've had pink eye before and was told I wasn't contagious after a certain amount of time on antibiotics. This could be the case for the OP. Also, yes, I have gone to the grocery store with the flu. Because I needed painkillers and gatorade and soup, and I lived alone. Sometimes life sucks and we have to be contagious and in public.

You should touch your eye and then touch his face.

The proper response to that is "Screw you, you don't know me. How dare you assume you know me"

Why did you feel shamed if you had only pink eye
