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.

I went to my mom company Christmas party, and I won a 40 inch flat screen, the bosses daughter won a wii, one of the warehouse guys brother won bose surround sound and one of the sales guys wife won a trip to vegas... I have yet to have someone tell that I shouldn't have won. everyone one was excited for us. I find it all depends on the staff and their personalities...

at my former company they gave tickets to spouse and children of the employee but other who were welcome at the picnic were not allowed to enter. sucked when I brought my gf of 7 years to the picnic and she was not allowed to enter because we were not married. but at least they told us when we got there. I think the boss should have let her keep it due to them giving her a ticket. it was their mistake, unless she knew she was not suppose to have one.

It wasn't your prize and your company. I understand it must have been embarrassing for that to happen, but really...you don't work at the company and if the boss, who most likely helped pay for the prizes, decided you couldn't have it because you aren't an employee--well its his money spent and his decision. Grow up.

I don't get why people are so mean. I understand where the op is coming from. Sure, she wasn't supposed to win but I don't think she would have bothered entering had she known that. The fml is just that she was excited to win something (let's face it, most of us rarely win any sort of raffle) and then the excitement was short-lived. Sure its not the end of the world and others have bigger problems but that doesn't make it suck any less.

the manager is just jealous because he didn't win.
