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?

I'm in the same situation with the whole university job thing. I've only had to wash dishes (well, just glasses) after events a few times. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is since someone has to do it. Take solace in the fact that you get paid obscene amounts of money for some of the stuff you do.

Unless it's in your contract or job description, tell your boss to go **** himself.

Get off your high horse. A lot of us are working shitty jobs right now, even those of us with an advanced degree.

YDI for thinking you're above doing dishes just cuz you've got a bachelor's degree. You need at least a Masters before you have a right to complain about sweeping, doing dishes, and cleaning toilets.

Ok, so you work with slobs, what does that have to do with you having a degree? If you think you're too good to wash dishes then maybe you shouldn't work at the university and get a real job.

welcome to the real world. honestly, someone has to do it. it's a recession and most people getting out of college don't have a job, so grin and bear it sweety.

#6 you're an idiot. it's not always wrong to end a sentence in a preposition.
