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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, at work, one of my 6 year-old students, who has had intense speech therapy since kindergarten, told me, "I can tell you're hot, because you rolled your sleeves up." I was very pleased with his articulate sentence, until he said, "Your arms are hairy." FML
Today, I work at a food joint as a chef, and a customer found a long strand of hair in her food. The manager blamed me, even though I'm bald. FML
Today, a customer came in to the Pizza store where I work and complained that the food they had purchased had a strand of black hair in it. After some deliberation, my boss decided to fire me. He is the only staff member there with black hair. I shaved my hair 2 weeks ago. 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 mom told me that I need to shave my beard because it's getting too long. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that I'm a woman. FML
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
Today, my boss told me, and only me, to leave work before I was done because I'm a minor and he can't have me sticking around at work as long as I do. I'm not a minor. My coworkers are. FML
Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML
Today, I found out that the reason I'm working as a kitchen staff instead of out on the floor of the café is because the boss does not think I'm attractive enough. My boss is my brother. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I thought I was getting promoted because my sales had been really high lately. My boss shut his door behind me and asked me if I could comb his hair with a lice comb to get rid of his lice. I had to do it to keep my job. FML

whaat?! don't shave them!! weird. then you have to keep up on it all the time, or else they might get prickly and you'll have to wait forever for the arm hair to get soft again. arm hair is nooo big deal. forr real. no need to shave or wax it. another thing women have to do, but men don't?!! helllll naw!

I don't think it's necessary to shave/wax it at all, but for the record I used to shave my arms and the hair was never prickly when it grew back... so I don't know what some of these people are on about.

men are allowed to have hairy arms...girls are allowed to, but expect to be forever viewed as the hairy chick...not a good title.

I shave my arms and I'm a girl, I rather shave them than have hairy arms any day, and it's not prickly for me at all.

don't shave it, get laser hair removal. seriously for like $1000 you'll be done with it foreverrrr! it hurts as much as waxing but you only have to get like 5 treatments done. disclaimer: every few years you might have to get a repeat treatment but it's SO worth it.

I would rather not spend $1000 every few years for something that could be accomplished with a $10 wax.

Heh, that's a stupid reason...even if you did have hairy arms, why deny you the job? Was he afraid you'd dunk them in the mayo or something??

This guy wasn't calling her Sasquatch he just said that her arms are too hairy to work with the food. It might be a bullshit excuse, but I know for a fact that arm hair does fall out and can contaminate the food
