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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

Thanks for the advise, #103, but having seen the razor tried by women of my family (yep, it's in the blood. I'm led to believe all my female ancestors had "great personalities" and possibly very drunk husbands), it still looks like you have facial hair - the same way a man looks unshaved at the end of the day, because of the black dots. And you can't wax such short hair out, it would be waaaayyy to easy. :) Epilation is better, it's just an issue when you have a sensitive skin.

There is no sensitive way to say something like that to a woman. I feel for you.

You people do know both males and females have body hair, right? Even on their face? Men's facial hair just tends to be coarser than women's facial hair. And just because one doesn't shave every last bit of it off doesn't mean one has bad hygine-- some people just have sensitive skin and razors are hell on it. Also, some people do have facial hair because of medical issues. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can cause facial hair... and that's really not something one can help. Oi, what a crappy situation. The boss should be the one to do that... methinks s/he just doesn't want to be the one getting bitchslapped for being stupid.

#106, it's not really being stupid if it's company policy. If the men are required to shave, then so should the women. That's just simple equality. Whether or not this is just a case of the boss trying to get someone else to take the heat...that depends on whether it's usually the shift manager's job to relay such instructions, whether to men or women.

You shouldn't discriminate because she's a women. I don't know I try not to be sexist, but I end up being it anyways.

Yep, no double standards. If the men can't have facial hair, why should the women?
