Today, I was denied a waitressing job at a local diner I have been going to for years. Due to the fact that my name is Julia. They already have a waitress there named Julie. Apparently, I would "create too much confusion." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML
Today, I had an interview to be a waitress. Afterwards, I had food in the restaurant, which is where I overheard my interviewer tell the manager he wasn’t going to bother hiring “that girl I just interviewed” because "her face is nasty and she’ll put the customers off their food." FML
Today, I applied for a job as a dishwasher. I was denied because I don't have enough experience. FML
Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML
Today, I applied for a job in an Italian restaurant. Ideally I wanted to be a hostess rather than a waitress, and I told the manager as much. His response? "No no no. Hostess no good for you. We leave that to the pretty girls." FML
Today, I got turned down by my dream job because their rival company happens to be called my exact name. I'm now known as "The Spy". FML
Today, my boss gave me a verbal warning. My crime? Calling people "Hon'", "Darlin'", and the like. I work at a Texas diner. FML
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. FML
Today, I found out the reason I can't get a job. My previous employer didn't know my name, so when places I applied to called there for a reference, my boss said he had no recollection of me working there. FML
Today, I got fired from my new waitress job after 2 shifts. They said I wasn't experienced enough to handle the fast pace. I thought I'd been doing well so I asked my friend who works there what really happened. Apparently not showing my boobs enough at a family place was grounds for dismissal. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get her fired or find yourself a nickname.

Strange, perhaps that was just an excuse. After all, there are last names.

It'd be even more awkward if you found out one of other staff is called Juliette

Are you in a small town or something?

That's stupid. My job has four James, three Kyles, and two kaylas, but because we actually get to know each other there is little to no confusion. It's not that hard to say "tall Kyle" "funny James" or "manager Kayla." that's of course without accounting nicknames.

that's quite nice >.

#30, I believe it's a well hidden pun. *In Rafiki's voice* ........Look harder

Wait...I'm confused
SteveTheJanitor 6
Don't be confused, my child. It is quite simple to understand if you just read. And if you cannot, well I dont think you'll be able to understand

that's a stupid excuse, at my job we have an Ana and an Anna, as well as a Jared and a Jarrett, and at one point we had 3 Davids
SteveTheJanitor 6
cool. what's the actual point? you probably have a different job than what she applied for and probably a different state if not country.
deviable 9
Um the point is that it's possible to work with people who have the same name without getting confused. What does the country or type of job have to do with anything?

Yeah, where I work we've got 3 Kims, 2 Katies, 2 Nicks, and an Amanda and a Miranda, just in one department. If you include the whole store we've got like 4 Brians, 3 or 4 Steves, 4 Daves, and more Amandas and Nicks. It's sheer chaos! Nobody knows who anyone is! (sarcasm)
