Today, my boss fired me for being "too morally ambiguous". I work at a bagel shop and had told a customer that I was indifferent towards cream cheese. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I almost got fired from work because a customer complained that I "threw up gang signs" at him. I was blocking the sun from my eyes. FML
Today, my boss admitted that he seriously regrets hiring me, but can't really do anything about it because that would make the senior management question his judgment, making him look bad. So he's just 'putting up' with me. 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, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, I found out that mishearing my boss and laughing at what I thought he said can make him think I'm high and nearly force me to submit to a drug test. 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 went on a blind date at a fancy restaurant. My date was running a bit late, so I went ahead and got a table. I got bored, so I decided to ask my waiter how I looked. He stood there, then said that, "It's against company policy to mock customers to their face." FML

Because that's definitely not an unfair dismissal.

Oh man! You missed your big chance to charge him with 'religious intolerance'! Cream cheese is an anathema to people of your 'faith' and you are merely trying not to discriminate against those who consume it in ritual sacrifices of bread products.

This person gets charged with any kind of moral transgression when it comes to food choices, AND gets fired for it, and I'M taking it too far?

While I agree that FYL, I do kinda feel that, while working in a bagel shop, one does have an obligation to care about cream cheese.

Don't let Foamy see this FML. He'll unleash his squirrely wrath on OP.

I'm sorry I've only got two thumbs I can give you.

He was looking for a reason, you should have started a union, it's tough to fire someone for silly reasons when a union is involved.

#60, No, it's still a bagel shop.

#62 - It was a sort of satire on the abundance of "You mean EX-girlfriend" or "*ex-husband" comments on relationship FMLs. Knew I should have added the ":P"

I get it but it still isn't an ex bagel shop, and quotes wouldn't change that. it's an ex employee. It's only witty and satiric if it makes sense.

Butter or Jelly fan? I can understand...but losing your job for that is a bit drastic...

While I think that sux, why work at a bagel shop when you hate the most picked "topping"
