Today, I went with my sister to her company Christmas party. They had a gift raffle, my number was called and I won $25 for a local restaurant. A few moments later, the manager came over and said, "You don't work here? You can't have that" and took it from me. FML

Today, my workplace was having a raffle and was giving away a Venus shaving kit. A co-worker won, but instead of keeping it, she walked over and handed the basket to me in front of everyone, said "You need it more" and walked away. FML
Today, I found out why the temps were not invited to the company Christmas party. The company paid for the regular employees to go to a nice restaurant, gave them nice presents, and handed out substantial bonuses. They keep telling me they can't hire me on because the company can't afford it. FML
Today, I won a meal for two in a raffle. I had no one to go with. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and my coworkers gave me a $75 gift card to a restaurant chain near my house. Later in the evening, I found out the chain of restaurants abruptly closed. All of them. FML
Today, I was working at a donation center. I was having a really rough day, so my fiancée dropped me off some cookies. At the end of my shift, the manager told me I couldn't take them home because they were donated and therefore they were "company property." FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML
Today, I won a raffle organised by a friend. I discovered one of the "prizes" was actually a present that I had given to her, that she had "loved". When I asked her where she had gotten it, she said, "Oh, just some crap someone gave me once." She didn't even remember that I had given it to her. FML
Today, I was at work as a grocery store cashier. I felt a hand slap my ass. Turning around I saw an old man winking at me and I screamed. When my manager came to deal with the problem she didn't believe me and gave the man a $25 gift card for "the trouble" I caused. FML
Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML

And the problem with pretending it belonged to your sister was...?

I would think they would've told you that before you entered the raffle.

Today, I went to my company Christmas party. There was a gift raffle and the person who won was the d-bag relative of someone else. I was in line behind them and would have had that ticket. FML. There you go. A glimpse into what the person that rightfully would have won might have felt. It wasn't your company party. You probably got free food. Be happy with that.

Oh, okay #16. You have shown me the error of my ways and I retract my opinion.

I agree, it was a company raffle, you should squeeze benefits from your own job, not your sister's. she works there not you. you only won because your sister brought you in anyways so you really should have either given it to your sister or not entered in at all.

Well duh, how would you have felt if you were an employee and someone who doesn't even work there gets a prize. Plus, it's not that big of a big prize. Would it have been about hundreds of dollars, then FYL. Now, YDI for thinking you deserved that prize. ;)

Really? Your life is ****** because you didn't get a $25 gift card? That restaurant better be damn good for you to have a ****** life.

It's **** My Life, not My Life is ******. I would have to agree this is a stupid FML nonetheless. (<- It's a word.)

It's an understandable mistake though, what with the title of the website and all.

they should have had some kind of notice or something. or just not allow you to enter. it'd be smarter to have a sign that says only employees may enter, instead of walking up and taking back the prize after he won it, possibly looking like an asshole in the process

Why would they need a notice at a company party? How often do you think people off the street manage to make their way in? They have no reason to believe that the guests are anyone except employees and spouses of employees.

Umm. most company Christmas parties are for the employees and their families. Husbands take wives, wives take their husbands, people take their children, that kind of thing. I would imagine that since the OP went with their sister then their sister was probably told that it was ok and possibly encouraged even to bring family members. Therefore if the raffle is only for the people who actually work there, they should have a notice that only employees may enter.

I'd say everyone got a plus one to bring. Just because OP was a sister not a spouse doesn't mean she should be not allowed win...
