Today, I was excited about showing everyone at work my new piercing. It's in an interesting place in my ear, and it's not that common. Before I had the chance to tell anyone about it, someone asked, "Are you wearing a hearing aid?" FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, I went in to see my piercer. He took one look at my piercing I got a few months ago and laughed saying "What a shit job, I'm sorry but that's pretty crappy because it's not even straight!" I then had to awkwardly explain it was indeed him who had pierced me. FML
Today, I was at a job interview at McDonalds. All was going well until the manager told me that I'd have to remove the piercing that I have on my eyebrow. I didn't think that my mole would be so confusing. FML
Today, as I was translating for a patient to get an MRI, the tech asked if I had metal in my body. In front of the patient, I had to disclose that my nipples were pierced, so I couldn’t accompany the patient bedside. FML
Today, I was working customer service at a large grocery store. I recently got a small, tasteful septum piercing that is barely visible. As I greeted a customer, she began to gag, held out her hand as though she was fending me off, and said, "I can't. Your nose ring makes me sick." FML
Today, I lent my brand new earrings to one of my friends. Everyone told her that they are pretty, and look really great on her. I've been wearing them for the last 3 weeks, and no one has ever mentioned them. FML
Today, I got a warning at work for wearing my ear studs. Not only have I worn them the whole time for the last year I was here, I was unaware of this “rule.” I also was just told that the female employees are allowed to wear them, but men are not. “It looks unprofessional.” FML
Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML
Today, I got a new piercing because I was trying to be spontaneous. Now, I realize its placement is off and I hate it. FML
Today, I was fixing something for a guy at a steel manufacturing company. His employees told me that their boss can't hear properly, so I'd have to be loud when talking to him. When I'd finished, he asked me if I normally talked like that, or if there was something wrong with me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

First, who gives a shit about piercings? Second, who gives a shit about what people say about you?

the fact that you got it in a different place should tell you something-people are going to stare and wonder.

Why do you even care? So one person made an offhand comment. If you like it, then enjoy it. there are probably many, many others who do as well. It's just one idiot.

I wanted a really unique piercing so I just got 2 surface ones under my belly button. they look awesome but MOST PAINFUL piercings ever. and I'm comparing this to all 6 of the piercings I've done myself with sewing machine needles.

shit, I thought that was just a random pic.. I give you props for the piercing though, you're a trooper :)

again thanks. it was really hard to find someone that would do it too. apparently it's a really common spot for the body to reject. they were wrong though. I've had it over 2 years now

damn, I thought you only have 6 from your original comment, boy am I mistaken lol what kind of tat are you thinking of getting?
tencentsakiss 19
I have the 3 in my belly button, 7 in the left ear, 4 in the right, and used to have my nose pierced but it had to come out when i had sinus surgery. I also want an antibrow (below the eye) but I can't have face piercings for work now. I have no clue what tattoo I want; I am very indecisive. I think I want it on my foot, my ear, my hip, or the inside of my wrist, but have no clue what it will be of. I've designed a few but iunno

the surfaces under my belly button didn't really hurt getting done so much as it did to heal. it's right at the waistband of my pants

I keep on reading this when it pops back up on my phone, and I can't help but think because of the way you wrote it "it's in an interesting place" and "not that common" keep this question in my head: have you gone deaf because of the piercing?"

I really wonder what kind of piercing looks like a hearing aid. I have a tragus piercing and no way in hell does that look like a hearing aid. I really hope you come back later and explain.
