Today, was my first day of work in my life. I was excited, and so was my dad, who saw me to the door and ruffled my hair as he wished me luck. I didn't notice until half an hour after arriving at work that he'd stuck his gum in my hair. Nobody bothered to tell me. FML

Today, my dad texted me while I was in the dentist's chair getting my teeth cleaned. The dental hygienist jumped at the notification sound my phone made and split my gum open. FML
Today, I was walking to a job interview. I needed to get rid of some gum but there were no trash cans in sight, so I spat it out on the ground. Next thing I know, some guy grabs me, sticks the gum in my hair, and walks off, muttering curses. I couldn't get it out in time for the interview. FML
Today, it was my first day working as a dental assistant, leaving me in charge of all cleaning. The first patient was so scared, he peed his pants. Which might have been understandable if he hadn't been a fully grown man. FML
Today, I was getting ready for my first day at work. Right before leaving the house I brushed my teeth thoroughly one more time to have a fresh breath. While cleaning my tongue, I went too far, which made me throw up. I was 20 minutes late for work. Good start. FML
Today, I was starting a new job. I got up early, showered, did my hair, put on my uniform, had a good cry because I was scared/excited that I was starting a future where I will be financially free for the first time. Then my boss texted me because one of his back of house employees is sick and he can’t train me until tomorrow. FML
Today, it was my first day of work at my new job. I got dressed and arrived early, only to find out that the store had closed due to a power outage. Then I found out that the person who'd hired me had totally forgotten about hiring me anyway. FML
Today, it was my first day at my first job, I got up early, got ready, waited an hour for HR to call. I called them instead and they didn't answer, so I wrote an email to the partners. It turns out I got the first day date wrong. Some first impression. FML
Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML
Today, I went to work at my new job after taking a shower but I'd forgotten to put on deodorant. I started getting strange looks and wondered why, only to find out later that everyone was talking about me, including someone I have a crush on. FML
Today, I came back to my dormitory after a long shift at work. After using the toilet, I looked at myself in the mirror, only to find a huge piece of food stuck between my front teeth. I work at one of the fanciest restaurants in town; nobody bothered to tell me anything. FML

Oh god, can you get it out or do you have to cut it out? That's a great first impression though :P

Ice is great for getting gum out of hair. Better than peanut butter IMO.
jazzy_123 20
mayonnaise? or some type of oil?
Quackadoodledoo 13
OP might take advice from Google as opposed to FML commenters...IMO.
badluckalex 23
where do you think they got these suggestions...? I want to know how op didnt feel the gum in their hair?? if the dad "ruffled" it around you would definitely feel it
happylappy 21
Maybe op has thick hair. I have thick hair and I can understand how she wouldn't feel it.

ironichalibut 24
Yeah, hopefully the boss didn't chew her out over it.

What a sticky situation..
GirlGamer12345 22
Did you not see the exact same comment right above you?
CaptainSmith28 19
They probably posted at the same time.
Quackadoodledoo 13
They did post it at the same time. But you've also got to remember that some people like saying the same puns again and again...and again...and again. It makes for an extremely interesting comment section.

When I commented, it showed 0 comments. :) I had my 15 seconds of fame though.. XD

oh my ****, why dont people think about the fact that there are versions of fml that you can click comment before having scrolled down, or you could have scrolled down fast past the comments to write your thought. theres no rule that you habe to read every single comment before posting..

Well your all gummed up
ilytyvm 25
Wow, that seems awfully unnecessary. You should play it off as a joke and say that having gum in your hair is the latest in fashion.
jazzy_123 20
that's pretty lame
tigerborn69 18
that seems like a sticky situations
silvercamaro 22
The fact that this comment has come up 3 times in one FML is becoming a "sticky situation"
badluckalex 23
pls stop.
warsun 27
The second time was kind of acceptable since it was the same minute. This third one was ages away (by that I mean two minutes)
cassieperiodbee 14
Well at least you made an impression Haha :)

Yeah I'm sure everyone will remember her.

Accident or troll dad?
illusong 16
I doubt it was an accident, what can he do?? " I accidentally spit my gum on your hair and accidentally forgot to tell you about it?"
Enslaved 36
They probably just thought it was a hair barret.
kurodansei 16
well you best be careful in handling such a sticky situation.
jojimugo 20
Dude really ???
warsun 27
9 minutes after the third time. Wow. I don't even....

Dad needs a kick in the junk. Who the hell does that?
MisterEx 28
The exact same person who'd suggest for someone to kick their own father. In the junk.
kingdomgirl94 29
You've obviously never had gum stuck in your hair. I think humiliating your own daughter and possibly making her cut her hair off, doing it on her first day of work ever, (a huge milestone in life) and the fact that this is something that will affect the perception of her at work for a very long time, means he is deserving of a swift kick in the nads. Father or not, that's absolutely horrible to do to someone.
rachangie 19
I don't think that something this mild deserves a kick in the junk...that seems a bit severe to me. "Oh you stuck gum in my hair, let me possibly damage your parts for it." Seems reasonable...
mcrepas 19
Until you have junk, don't think it's ok to just go around kicking our jewels.
kingdomgirl94 29
Unless you're a girl with hair past your ears, and are a young person trying to get ahead in a tough economy and make a good impression on your boss and coworkers, you shouldn't stick gum in peoples hair as a stupid ******* joke.
