Today, I was working as the shift manager at my job at a fast food restaurant. Our company policy states that all employees must be clean shaven before coming to work. I had to inform one of the employees, Kris, that they had to shave before clocking in. Kris is a woman. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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, 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
Today, the district manager visited. Also today, I got called into the office to talk about "personal hygiene". The assistant store manager asked me if I had some kind of medical problem and advised me to shower regularly because my co-workers have been making comments. 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, I went to a restaurant for lunch. I began to eat when I noticed a blond hair in my food. When that happened, I went up to the counter and began complaining about their hygiene. When the manager insisted no one that works there had long blond hair, I realized that it was my hair. FML
Today, I was at work when someone came in asking me to brush their pet Shih Tzu. After an hour of vigorously grooming through the multiple knots, I called the owner to collect their dog. When she got here she said, "Oh, did I say brush? I meant shave." FML
Today, I had a morning shift at the restaurant and didn't feel like wearing makeup. I was energetic and greeted everyone happily, but my manager told me I looked tired. I said, "Oh no I'm just not wearing makeup!" He said, "Well, you might need it." FML
Today, I woke up late for a job interview. I hadn't shaved in six days, but figuring I could do so en route, I grabbed my electric razor and ran for the bus. While shaving, the razor's battery died midway through, leaving me to attend the job interview with a Miami Vice scruff on half my face. FML
Today, I was on my way to meet my partner's parents for the first time. Although I was in a rush, I managed to hop into the shower and shave. I now have a cut on my upper lip. I'm a woman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#92: I *do* clear the stuff when I get out =p It's just very annoying to have to cash out 20 euros on professional waxing every *week* to get a decent result and to minimize the irritation, so I skip the whole process in my "recluse" phases. I'd rather be a man so I could just shave it off... Then of course I still look like a vampire, what with being ghastly pale, so the "dark alley" remark stands.

#9 and #95 - how would you feel if you were a guy in his position (only saying that since i don't know your gender) going up to a woman you work with and telling her she needed to shave her face.

I'm gonna laugh if she puts this on FML: "Today, I came into work and my shift manager told me I needed to be clean-shaven. I'm a woman. FML."

We have the same rule at the fast food restaurant I work at. However, our mentally retarded cleaning lady does not have to comply with it. Her caretakers let her shave her legs, so I don't know why they can't hint for her to take care of her face too, or cut her hair into anything but a mullet. I know she's oblivious to it all, but it makes me feel bad.

Holy shit! Where do you work? If it's in Cincinnati, I think I might actually know this Kris

#91, you should consider shaving. and when you do, do it while showering, it comes out without any wounds like that. I have very pale skin and black body hair too, but no mustache.
