Today, my boss informed me that it is now my responsibility to wash the dishes, since my co-workers are consistently too lazy to clean up after themselves. I have a bachelor's degree. Which I earned at the same university I now work at. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, I got yelled at for not taking an order correctly at work. I've been washing dishes all day and haven't taken a single order. FML
Today, I started work at catering company. I was aware that I'd be cleaning dishes, but they forgot to warn me how many. Needless to say, after polishing 527 glasses, my hands hurt. FML
Today, my boss used the restroom at work. She returned and told me I needed to go clean the toilet because "someone left a mess in there." It was her mess. FML
Today, my roommate said that whoever was doing the dishes was doing it wrong. I've been doing the dishes for weeks. So much for being a clean roommate. FML
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, I found out the unionized cleaning people that empty the garbage and clean the toilets make $19/hr and have more paid time off than I do with my college degree. FML
Today, I worked a full day and then went to a three-hour class. I got home at 9 PM, and before the door closed I heard, "There's a sink full of dishes for you." There are three able-bodied men in the house, all of whom got here hours ago and created that sink full of dishes. FML
Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML
Today, I had to tell my 28-year-old roommate she needs to wash her hands after using the bathroom. She then said she’d try, as long as I try to put my dishes in the dishwasher. Those aren’t even on the same level. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Peoples' degrees don't really matter right now. Be thankful you have a job. Not trying to preach, but my sister is trying to convince herself of the same thing. Her Honors Economics degree=minimum wage cashier right now. No one else is even looking to hire.

This FML is badly written. This FML is bad and you should feel bad!

I'm sorry. This is going to happen to more people than they realize. I understand people keep harassing you with "Durr, so get another job", but I'm sure you know that there *aren't* any jobs right now. You can't so much as get hired at a Cosi or a Target these days due to hiring freezes. Keep your chin up. The people judging you either got some (cushy or otherwise) job before the economy decided to commit suicide or they're sitting in their dorm judging you on a laptop, both of which their parents paid for. Silver lining? These are the sort of circumstances that make millionaires and billionaires. Your frustration and education will eventually push you to succeed more than you ever would in any other situation. Just keep thinking "Daniel Plainview, Daniel Plainview."

Bachelor degree doesn't mean shit these, more people have em than every before, especially if its a an arts degree. To get a decent job these days you have to get a masters or some kind of grad school

I'm guessing that you DO work in the sciences (Biology or Chemistry) like I do and that the "dishes" are otherwise know as common glassware. If that is the case, you are an ass. Washing glassware is part of the job.

Guessing from your whiney tone you are the lowest paid. Lowest paid do the grunt work. Your boss doesn't want to pay the higher paid people for spending their time doing it. The lowest paid in my lab (she also has a Bachelors) is responsible for the same. If this common aspect of your job is below you then you don't deserve your job. Get over yourself!
