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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

I had to look up the Coles commercial on YouTube to see what everyone was talking about and, OP, you have my sympathy. FYL (yes, I will press the button). :( On the other hand, the rock version is pretty cool! :D http://youtu.be/GdV4pr4frd4

Look up the "No added Hormones" video with Normie Rowe, Coles have been on a downward spiral for a while now

The context of the slogan and ads isn't meant to be sexual in nature and doesn't come across as sexual. Annoying, sure, but not sexual in any way, shape or form. It's unfortunate that the result of what's an irritating but innocent marketing campaign is that a few dirty-minded bogans made some gross comments, but I'm not sure that given the context of the actual commercials, that would have been foreseen... So OP's life sucks because of the rude jerks who made comments towards her, not because she works at Coles. Okay, maybe a little because she works at Coles. >_> Also, as annoying as those ads are, they aren't as annoying as the "little red quote" ads. Omigod, what's wrong with their eyes in those ads?! O_O
