Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was having my morning coffee while getting ready for work. I grabbed clothes off the floor to throw in the hamper. I accidentally threw my full coffee instead. FML
Today, I'm so strapped for cash that I smuggled toilet paper out of my mother's house. FML
Today, I accidentally threw a glass of iced tea in my own face, because the restaurant I'd been going to for over a decade switched from heavy glass mugs to identical light-as-a-feather plastic mugs. FML
Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML
Today, I had to wait in a hospital room because I cut myself with a knife while trying to open a box of soda. After three stitches, I went home only to notice the box has an easy-open tab. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'd rather they take the coffee stirrers than the coffee. Or my job. Be grateful for what you DO have.

Coffee... Ick... Eating an apple is a lot better than coffee, but really. People depend on it too much, and it's wasted money. It's not essential, it's just desired. But then you get everyone who becomes addicted to it and can't function without. Go cure your addictions and save money!

Deal with it. In Iraq I had to stir mine with a pen, or whatever utensil I could fine, and half the time it was probably my finger or pouring it into a plastic bag to shake up. A paper clip woulda been amazing.

Why use a paper clip and see the coffee go through it when you can use a pen? That's what I did at work before they bought those wooden coffee stirrers; stir my coffee with a pen, lick my pen, and drink my coffee, confident that no one is going to steal my pen.
