Today, one of my coworkers called to remind me about the annual costume day at work this morning. I dressed as Pocahontas. There is no annual costume day. I was fired for dressing inappropriately in front of customers. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 walked into our office and everyone started laughing. It turns out that I'd been the only one not in on the joke to come in dressed as a character from our favorite TV show. However, I'd dressed in normal work clothes. I’m the boss. FML
Today, my company had a Halloween party. I was so excited seeing as our company never does anything, so I pulled out all the stops with my costume. I was the only one who got dressed up. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML
Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. FML
Today, I went back to work after a vacation, only to find out I'll soon be forced to dress up as one of the princesses from Frozen to promote our store. FML
Today, I was kicked out of a job interview at a clothing store for "not dressing appropriately" for the occasion. I'd purchased my outfit from the same store just two days prior with my last $100. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sue them for discriminating against your Native American ancestry.

That iPhone doesn't seem to prevent you from responding to random comments every 2 minutes.

I'm on my iPhone and I'm typing perfectly fine. Maybe you're just stupid.

Denial- that's a bit rude. She's not stupid, just lazy. Actually, do you know how many ATPs it takes to type the "y" and "o" in "you?" And when she does it repeatedly, she is conserving SO much energy! I'm going to start doing it right now! omg dis is so mch betta! im savin so much nrg! ur dum if u don do dis! Holy shit, that physically hurt me. I'm so sorry. I'm going to jump off a bridge onto jagged rocks now.

TELL YOUR ******* BOSS WHAT HAPPENED THEN, ARE YOU ******* STUPID? your letting your boss fire you even though it wasn't your fault? WTF

Unless she is a fairly new employee and has been off for several weeks, this is entirely her fault. Any business would announce that costumes were going to be allowed, probably multiple times and weeks in advance.

The last place I worked, that had a costume day, we were told the day before costume day that the next day would be costume day. That was the only time our boss mentioned it at all. The place before that we found out at the beginning of that week that we could/should wear costumes on that Friday. The OP really would have only needed to have not worked for a few days in order to have missed that kind of announcement.

Yeah, i got called to dress up today too but I knew I was supposed to or I wouldn't have just from the phone call. Go talk to your boss once you've cooled off and let him know what happened and thank him for his time..and if he gives you your job back then you're lucky!

I didn't even know they still sold Pocahontas costumes. Then again, Avatar came out semi recently. It's basically the same thing, right? Just skip the blue body paint.

Pocahontas > Avatar.

Subtract the flying blue birds, add the Tipis, get some war paint, a butt flap and some serious dancing/chanting around a fire and you, Miss Red, are correct.

Are you saying that they weren't already wearing butt flaps in Avatar? The Avatar costumes they sell at the stores here are disgusting looking. I have a cousin who adores Avatar so much and I just want to smack her. D:

in Australia that is called workplace bullying and you can't be fired for it. We'd just ask you to go home to change :-$

Sorry but YDI. Unless it’s only you and the co-worker you should have figured out that something was wrong when no one else was talking about it so enjoy the unemployment line.
