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!

It's simple, really. Stop being bitter, find a better job and get the hell out of there! At least when you leave for something better, your lazy coworkers will pick up after themselves.

OP can't necessarily just go out and find a new/better job. the economy sucks and plenty of people are unemployed. so just having a job is good. stop complaining OP and this is not an FML.

Hahahaha, so... you went to college like approximately 70% (probably more, but I don't feel like looking it up) of our generation? And you think that being in the majority makes you too good to wash dishes? Come back to bitch about it when you have a Doctorate or something.

I agree with most of the posters here that mention the bachelor's degree isn't a big deal these days. If you really wanted to get ahead faster it might have been a good idea to get your masters or doctorate, but even then there's going to be a lot of crappy work involved. Regardless, the people you work with are slobs and I'm sure if you had roomies while getting your degree you're already sick of cleaning up after other people :P

Especially considering you work at a university, a Bachelor's degree isn't all that special. Quit whinging and wash the dishes.

Uhm, what the **** are you doing then... Search for a new job, then once you've pretty much secured one, quit and go for the other one. Either that or quit whinging and wash the dishes as ^ said.
