Today, my boss made me wear reindeer antlers to promote the Christmas spirit. There are still 5 weeks till Christmas. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss insisted that we get in the holiday mood by putting up lights, playing Christmas music, and wearing bells on our uniforms. It's not even Thanksgiving yet and I can't even have a tinkle without full-blown jingling. FML
Today, my manager made everyone put up Christmas decorations around the store. As well as this, we're going to have Christmas music playing on repeat all the way through to January. It's not even September yet. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, after telling my bosses how much I dislike the Christmas holiday, they assigned ME to organize and host a holiday party for our whole company, with a “Mariah Carey Christmas Karaoke.” I hate Christmas. FML
Today, my boss sent a Christmas present… to my dog. FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML

WTF was your boss thinking? FYL. Your boss should be wearing them.

Oh big deal, so you had to wear something on your head for a few hours. If that's the worst thing you have to complain about I'd say you have a pretty good life. Suck it up and stop being a whiny brat.

Like Drakon said, be happy you have a job. I'm still in school so i'm not worrying about that but still ; You get that pay cheque for doing as your boss says. A much more relevent FML would be if you lost your job 5 weeks before christmas, don't you think?

Really? This isn't an FML. It could have been a WHOLE lot worse. Like your boss could have made you dress up like Santa Claus and have little kids sit on your lap for a whole day. Or you could have had to wear a WHOLE reindeer outfit and sing Christmas carols on the corner in front of your business. Get over it. And to reiterate what everyone else has said- be thankful you have a job. Most of us don't.

I HATE Christmas. People celebrate it wayyyyy too early. I started seeing commercials for stuff back in July! I can't wait till January.

Geez. Over reacting a bit? Did it screw your life up? Cause you to loose a bunch of money? No. The only way this could be a FML is if you were Jewish, and didn't celebrate Christmas and your boss knew this and made you wear it anyway. That's really the only way. Sorry this sounds so negative. I'm just getting pissed off about of all the lousy FML's. It's quite annoying. People shouldn't take for granted of what they have. Suck it up and be happy. You got a job. Your life isn't traumatized in anyway because of this. Stop whining and be grateful that you have a job and food and a good life. Just stop it. This is not a FML. The only way is said above, and since the OP said nothing about that, I think it's fine to assume that that is not in the equation. Get over it. PS. I do agree with some of you on other terms. Christmas IS celebrated way to early. But the OP is just overreacting.

Its an FML because what if the guy is Jewish? What if he dislikes Christmas? Theres a million reason this is not okay. Just because someone is your boss does not mean they have a right to just do whatever! People have rights

And bosses have rights to fire anybody they want. At least, they SHOULD have rights
