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?

Don't wash them,just put them back where they came from,DIRTY.When your boss asks you why they were not wash,just look at him and say "Huh,what,I don't unnerstand."

Inform him that it is his responsibility to give you a raise.

That's what you get for getting a Bachelor of Arts. Hell, even science degrees are useless these days. Looks like it's time to enroll into an Engineering degree for the fall!

Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you're suddenly too good to wipe dishes. Go find a new job or quit complaining. Unless, of course, you got a bachelor's in flipping burgers, in which case you have every right to complain that you're not being treated fairly at work.

IF your co-workers are too lazy, they should be fired perhaps !?

I take it you work in a dining hall at your alma mater? Having a degree doesn't excuse you from working. You should tell your coworkers to pull their weight.

so what? who cares if you have a bachelors degree, that doesn't mean you are now above cleaning up after yourself. Or do you think it takes a masters in dishwashing to figure that out? A BA doesnt count for shit nowadays.
