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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

So what? If you're the only person in the office who does the dishes, as long as you're not washing out squid guts or something gross, then just wash the dishes and get over yourself. Stumbling through 4 years of undergraduate work, whether you were at Ft. Lauderdale U or Harvard doesn't entitle you to a job where your hands stay clean. I have a Masters Degree. I'm happy to toss a few of my co-workers' coffee cups in when I do my own. Everyone helps out in their own way. And hey, if I get paid hourly on a job, then that's time I'm getting paid for not really working. You're probably the same entitlement asshole I had to teach in Freshman Comp who thought he deserved a good grade because he showed up on test day and handed in store-bought papers for all his essays.

Since when does holding a degree mean your job will never suck again? Perhaps you should rethink what you wanna be when you grow up

Unless you work at a restaurant, this should not be part of your job duties. People need to wash their own #*$(@&$ dishes. Slobs.

For some reason..I kinda feel like you shouldn't complain that you have a job. If you want a better one..THEN GET IT O.o

"Which I earned at the same university I now work at." Let me guess, you're a Liberal Arts major, right?

Having a degree is irrelevant to this story. Apparently your degree hasn't allowed you to get a decent job where you don't have to wash dishes. Stop being a self-important douce and take what you can get. #33 said it well!

Um, stand up for yourself! ^^I agree

so many things potentially wrong with this: -degrees are so prolific they are now worthless in terms of getting a decent job (i.e. humanities) -your school is worthless as a means to getting a good job and it knows it implicitly -there is something wrong with you in your abilities to get a decent job upon grad (lazy, unimaginative, poor networking and work skills) some combo of the above.

#12 and 33 forgot a couple apostrophes. We don't know where the OP is working, but it sounds like an office job with a kitchen where co-workers litter their dishes. Cut the kid some slack.

Bachelor's is the 'Freshman' of degrees, what do you expect.
