Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boyfriend I was unsure of the future of our relationship, so he gave me a gigantic hickey to "show the world that I'm his." I work as a cashier and see people I know personally on a daily basis. FML
Today, I got to my human anatomy class with a hickey on my neck. Since I sit in the front row, my professor noticed and decided to call me to the front. He then started talking about ruptured blood vessels and hickeys, all while as I served as the subject. FML
Today, I was threatened with suspension from school because of my nose piercing. I had to explain that it's actually a pimple. FML
Today, my professor called me out in the middle of a lecture to ask why I was bleeding. I then had to explain to him, in front of around one hundred of my fellow classmates, that my largest zit had burst. FML
Today, at work, a customer told me how unprofessional my piercing made me look, and insisted that someone else wait on his table. It's not a piercing, it's a mole. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a hickey. On my forehead. FML
Today, I had to leave class early due to a profusely bleeding pimple on my forehead. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, my mom noticed the hickey that I have on my neck. Embarrassed, I tried convincing her that I burnt myself using a hair straightener. She then told me that that's the same excuse she told my grandma when she got a hickey. FML
Today, I broke my nose trying to pop a zit. FML

I would have stuck with the hickey story if I were you.

How is having a hickey 'unprofessional'?

Companies don't like people representing them with clearly visible hickeys. Especially if your job is in the public eye. Understandably so

I agree #7. The professional way he should have taken care of the situation was pulling OP into his office or even taking him somewhere they work without any open ears around.

True, I once got shot in the neck with a paintball, I'd it weren't for the fact that I was playing family members people would have thought it was a hickey.

Next time try putting toothpaste on it instead of popping it.

Why would they berate you in front of your coworkers?

What's unprofessional is your boss berating you in front of your other co-workers.

Now that your boss knows it's not a hickey, tell him how unprofessional it is to make assumptions about your personal life and berate you in public, and that what he did is harassment.

1 - It is none of your boss's business if you come with a hickey. The main thing is you are at work, sober, professional and punctual. 2 - The bum should be reported to HR for interfering in your personal life and for publicly berating you. 3 - what were you supposed to do if you got a hickey? Stay at home and risk losing employment? Use a professional makeup artist? Who would've paid for that?

Next time put a bandaid on it. Nobody will ask about that.
