Today, I borrowed my mom’s BMW to impress my new girlfriend. I'd told her that I owned an accounting firm, so I had to look the part. Today was also the day someone decided to rear-end us. That someone happened to be my boss at Burger King. Let’s just say, the cat’s out of the bag and I’m single now. FML

Today, I was at working at Burger King as a cashier. A girl I met last night came in and said, "Aren't you that guy from last night?" Last night, I had told her I was going to medical school and was going to be a doctor in less than a year. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply for a job, and we decided to eat there. After we finished, I went to start the car. When we got home, I asked him how much the bill came to. Apparently he didn't pay. I had already given them my completed application. FML

Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML

Today, I went over to my girlfriend's house for dinner. Her parents seemed upset, so I tried to lighten the mood by saying, "Hey, at least the weekend is coming up and you guys won't have to go to work." Apparently, they were upset because they both got laid off from their jobs today. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me.

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds passive aggressive comments, my boyfriend and I went into the kitchen. I started complaining to him about how his parents were horrible and mean. Little did I know, his parents had followed us in and were right behind me. FML

Today, I took my boyfriend to dinner to meet my parents. He agreed to be on his best behavior, but when my mom told us about some shady stuff going on at her job, he replied that it sounded "fishier than Justin Bieber's cunt." We were quickly kicked out. FML

Hey, you gotta start somewhere. Hopefully his parents understand that. Odds are they were in similar positions early on, too.

In this economy, ANY job is better than no job. And manager position? That's pretty good - assuming you're in late-teens to mid-twenties.

Don't compare your achievements to others. Enjoy them for what they are, don't disparage them for what they are not. Obviously your boyfriend has learned this lesson. He's proud of his parents for what THEY are and he's proud of YOU for what YOU are! Hold your head high and be proud of your accomplishments.

#11 is wise. Even if you wanted to stay there the rest of your life, who is anyone else to judge? It's all about being happy and liking what you do. I've known plenty of people making $80k plus who are miserable in their jobs.

What's so bad about that? They're a generation older than you and they have better jobs...what a shock ::sarcasm::! Don't worry so much =). You HAVE a job, and a good position in that job. That's nothing to be ashamed of.

if you're a kid, which I'm assuming you are since your bf lives with his parents, there's nothing wrong with working at BK.. especially if you're a manager.

For all you age people out there: age doesn't matter. BK manager at 40 is still being a BK manager. What matters is that an accomplishment is an accomplishment and her boyfriend is wise enough to recognize that. And before anybody says that I'm just defending myself, I don't work fast foods. I'm a lawyer and have been many other things in my day. And I've been proud of each and every job....even the times I DID work in fast food.
