Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML
Today, I was fired for "customer dissatisfaction." I work in IT and have never met one of my company's customers. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML
Today, I was fired because I spoke up about a supervisor mistreating me. The assistant VP spent the meeting demeaning me to “teach me a lesson” and then said she was firing me because I “stirred the pot." Man, I really loved that job but I won’t miss the toxic work culture. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML

Look, man, I know you need their address for documentation, but following them home isn't the way to do it.

This FML really needs more information. I would like to know exactly what the customers were hating OP for.

Try being a bank auditor! Following the rules is a major plus there! They also get paid good money. If I could sit still long enough I would, but that's not one of my strong suits.

Hard to tell if this is a FML or you were actually being a jobsworth and deserved it.
