Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I started my job selling perfume in a department store. I decided to be creative and sprayed a little perfume towards the first person who walked by. She had an allergic reaction, and an ambulance had to be called. FML
Today, I started my new job at a fragrance store. While training, the manager had me smell all of the scents to become familiar with the products. Before my shift was over, I'd had three asthma attacks. FML
Today, I discovered I'm allergic to the new perfume I bought and now I smell like a hospital. FML
Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask my boss why the flowers I got her for her birthday the other day were in the conference room and not her office. She told me she was allergic to them and she had such a bad reaction that it made her go home early. I made my boss sick on her birthday. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom at work and there was a reed diffuser placed on the tank of the toilet. As I sat down, my hair knocked it off and the reed diffuser landed behind me, spilling the scented oil into my butt crack and vagina, burning me completely. I only had to work 6 more hours. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, my OCD manager sprayed my hands with chemicals because I'd touched the bin while throwing away a piece of paper. My hands are now covered in itchy, unattractive rashes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Brutal, OP :( shouldn't get your pay docked for something you can't control / something someone else did.

That is absolutely assault. I have the same issue and there are a variety of colognes and perfumes that I cannot tolerate for more than a minute or so. I have had several issues with co workers spraying it and no one would listen to me until finally someone finally sprayed it behind me and it triggered repeated asthma attacks- (turns out it had gotten on my clothes). After about an hour of painful repeated breathing issues I politely informed my supervisor and Hr that I was having a reactions. I was taken to an emergency clinic and put out of work for three days. After that a policy was made to prevent anyone from spraying any colognes or perfumes or air fresheners.

"If you like the smell, then stick it up your nose!" -Gallagher I personally don't care for perfume either. Axe body spray really ticks me off; I can't stand the stuff.

That was not right if this is not part of your job not only should they pay the money you lost because you were suffocating but who ever did it should be suspended without pay if not fired

Is this call center in Nevada by chance? I worked in a call center and we had the same problem. Especially in the elevators.
