Today, my workplace was having a "prices are down" promotion. I had to wear a badge that said, "Down and staying down" all day, opening myself up to a lot of weirdos winking at me or saying, "Oh yeah, I bet you are". FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I walked into work feeling confident in my new outfit. It wasn’t until lunchtime that a colleague pointed out the price tag hanging from my skirt. I’d been flaunting my ass's price all morning. FML
Today, I was giving a lecture when I noticed everyone smiling at me. I thought my jokes were finally landing until a coworker pointed out that the price tag from my brand-new shirt was hanging out of the back of my collar the entire time. FML
Today, I had to deal with yet another day of people looking at my name tag and saying "You know nothing, John Snow." with a shit-eating grin, like they're the wittiest people alive. Then I had to deal with my boss telling me to lighten up, because it's "just a joke". FML
Today, while at work, a creepy guy blatantly stared at my chest for a good 40 seconds. Finally snapping out of his trance, he said with a wink, "You forgot your name tag." He was right. FML
Today, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. FML
Today, I was mistaken for a prostitute. Twice. While in my work uniform. FML
Today, I bought a new shirt I thought looked cool. At work, three people complimented me, then each one added a variation of, “My dad has the same one!” By lunch, my confidence had left the building entirely. A coworker even asked if I’d gotten it from the “retro section.” FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, I received my employee ID, which I have to wear at all times at my new job. The only problem is that in my photo, I look like a donkey having a seizure. Customers keep snickering at it, and my boss thinks I posed like that deliberately. FML
Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not the best choice of words, or did your boss choose them purposely?

Looks like that went south pretty quickly.

Well you could try working for the "fresh food people". Coles I think are still better than woolies.

your boss didn't see anything wrong there?

It's a huge national company, they don't care about their minimum wage cashiers.

Almost as bad as my college bands quote on the back of their shirts. "If you don't suck it, you may as well blow it." Or some dumbass thing like that anyway.

You'd think in a country called "Down Under" that "going down" puns would have gotten quite stale. The residents of Bumfuck, Egypt certainly don't find jokes about their locale amusing.

Nor do those of *******, Austria, at least not after years of repeated theft of the traffic signs!

#46, I've always wanted to go there, but the travel agents always hang up when I tell them, "I want to go on a ******* vacation."

You want to ask for Amsterdam then if you want a "*******" vacation.

This makes me even happier that i don't work at Coles anymore. Working there was bad enough without having to deal with that.

How is this not sexual harassment? Surely, the employer had to know that the employee would have to deal with this.

if it's a big chain store them the op's boss wouldn't have much say. It would be the CEO and people up top that would and they clearly didn't think it through, or they are just jerks...

Wow, I cannot find the words to express how gross that must be. How can a company think that's ok? That is the image they want to promote? If you can get another job without too many losses on your part, I'd get out of there OP.

Huge national company, they don't give a shit about anyone.

Well, of course they don't, but I'm surprised there wasn't some kind of uproar from some workers rights group long before now.
