Today, I needed to job shadow someone for my winter break career project. Not finding someone to take me along to their job, my mom suggested shadowing my dad. Not wanting to hurt his feelings, I went with him. All day I sat and helped him test human poop samples for parasites. Some was diarrhea. FML

Today, it was my first day back to school after break. I wasn't feeling well, but I decided to go anyway. I threw up in the hallway and shit myself at the same time. I waited in the office for my dad to come and get me for almost an hour while wearing dirty underwear. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I had to drop my daughter off with my babysitter first. When I got to the interview, I got a weird look from the vice president of the company. I had lime green poop running down the side of my white blouse. FML
Today, I had to clean human excrement at work when the fitting room turned into the shitting room. FML
Today, one of the kids at the daycare center I work at was so excited at the fact that his constipation was over, he felt the need to bring me his fecal matter, in his hands, to show me. Guess who had to clean up the aftermath. FML
Today, my mother told me she needed a urine sample to send in to the doctors to test for any allergies. I did what she had asked and went to my room. I came down stairs later and found her in the bathroom putting my pee on a pregnancy test stick. FML
Today, I had to help my dad remove a splinter. From his butt. FML
Today, my mother had to take a stool sample because she has been ill for several days. Curious, I eventually had to ask, "How did you intercept the poo before it got submerged in water?" She yelled from the other room, "You know that little plate with the red stripe?" I was eating off it. FML
Today, I was babysitting to make a few extra dollars. While changing one of the kid's diapers, I turned around to find the other kid gone. I turned back around frantically, only to get poop flung at my face. I guess I found him. FML
Today, I had to hunt down and collect a stray dog's feces for my parasitology class. FML
Today, working as a CNA, my nurse convinced me that in order to collect a stool sample, you had to have the patient take a dump in your hand. I only found out he was kidding after I collected the sample. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The study of poop parasites has probably saved more lives than all the rest of medicine combined. The study of public health is highly cost effective and makes life immeasurably more enjoyable. YDI for not knowing that even though that is what your father does for a living. Give him my thanks.

Actually very very good point. Yeah - you can get category three pathogens in enterics, so yeah - duh. This is likely rubbish, although if there was a teaching microscope then I suppose it could happen.

No it's not, learn to communicate like an Adult...

You should learn to type like an adult. ("Adult" does not need to have a capital first letter unless it's at the start of the sentence). Anyway, at least the OP doesn't need to actually do the job she's shadowing.

Yes, please learn to communicate like an adult. It says on your profile you're married, so in theory you should be mature enough to not be so grossed out by feces. I'm fourteen and I don't care that much, especially since what her dad does saves lives.

I don't think marriage has ANYTHING to do with how someone gets grossed out by feces. I have a major problem with most bodily functions. I just don't like them, I find them messy and gross. That doesn't mean I'm immature.

probably depends who you marry.

I'm not saying you have to fall in love with the stuff, but you shouldn't be so grossed out that it causes you to type like a preteen.

It's good experience! And it's science! Seriously, I know poo isn't pleasant, but it's a part of life, and learning how to tolerate doing unpleasant things is better working experience than, say, spending a day as a lollipop tester!
