Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML

Today, I was at a friend's pool party. He lives on a lake and one of our friends wouldn't get in the water. My best friend and I decided to push him off the dock. Once we had, I turned to see my crush who had watched looked shocked. Then said "You know he can't swim right?" FML

Today, after Boris made his Monday night lockdown announcement, my husband announced that no way can he handle another lockdown stuck in the house with me and two teenagers, so he drove all night to our static caravan and insists he’s staying there alone until lockdown is over. FML

Today, my girlfriend bought this hot pink Chanel nail polish. Bored, she thought it would be funny to paint my nails. I finally gave in and let her paint my toe nails. After she left, my buddy calls to to see if I can give him a ride. I forgot I had a swim meet today. FML

My chair screeched over the floor as I got up, I tripped over my own feet, and I accidentally took the door leading outdoors, where I ended up peeing in shame. FML

People are generally very pale without their make-up. Should have been honest and fought for your case. If your boss is that worried, they should consent to a drug test.

Depends on where they are in the US, most states are right to work. Outside of the US depends, but most jobs will send you home if they suspect if you are under the influence not all will drug test and some will fire you outright.

You were under the influence ... of dummies who say you look just as good without makeup. If your boss has only seen you with makeup, you probably look pretty scary without it. Why would women spend so much time, effort and money on the stuff if it didn’t make a difference?

Except it's not. It may be extreme, I could see being sent home cause she seemed sick, not necessarily under the influence. But makeup isn't solely a womans thing, and daily grooming habits aren't solely for women either.
