Today, the client that hired us for cleaning cancelled her contract because I was seen "holding a broom backwards." I'm left-handed. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, one of my clients fired me from my cleaning job, all because I had to cancel last minute after I had to drive myself to the hospital with a severe allergic reaction. She screamed at me until I hung up on her. She's my aunt and godmother. 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, the cleaning lady left a note that said my room was too dirty to clean. FML
Today, after being a stay-at-home mom and picking up after my kids for the past 15 years, I got a job rejection letter saying I wasn't qualified. It was a housekeeping position. FML
Today, at work, someone shat outside the bathroom door. Not outside the stall, but in the actual hallway. Guess who got fired for refusing to clean it up! I’m a cashier at a tool supply company and the only female employee. Four dudes refused before I did. FML
Today, my boss fired me for causing a "commotion" at work while running the vacuum. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Today, I told my boss I need a scrub brush to properly clean the stairs at my workplace. She gave me an old toothbrush. FML
Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYL. What a moron to think that. You should've demonstrated the 'correct' way by whopping her over the head with it. It's a tough world for us lefties out there!

what the hell did she care, as long as the floor got swept?

The only thing backwards about this FML is the client that cancelled the service.

I'm with ya there, I'm always getting made fun of for being left handed, I work in a kitchen and my co-workers constantly harass me because everything I do looks wrong because I'm not using my right hand, lol

How the **** do you hold a broom backwards? It's identical on each side.

Hi OP here! Just wanted to follow up to say that revenge is sweet. We spoke with the company lawyer, and apparently since one of the things we did was replace and repaint siding, we were able to put a lien on the house. It's always so satisfying when someone like that gets what they deserve!

But... there isn't a wrong way to hold a broom? You alternate when you have to get into different spaces or when your grip one way gets tense, so you switch to start fresh again. It doesn't make any sense why you'd get fired for that. >.<

Good! I wouldn't want to work for those snooty stuck up assholes anyways! Guess they'll just have to clean their own damn house! Bastards!!!!

Wouldn't holding a broom backwards be gripping the bristles and sweeping with the handle?
