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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

I had trouble like that when I got my nipples pierced. a couple places would only do males. I ended up having to go an hour away. you could do the dermals and get a star. that's what I wanted with mine.

yea u was kind if thinking about it but they're really expensive aren't they?

I honestly don't know about the price. I was more worried about what happens when they don't work out. I accidentally ripped out my belly button ring so I didn't want anymore marks on my stomach. I don't think they feel very good to get either.

Who cares about your piercing? You need to worry about more important things because you think this is a FML. BTW, hearing aids aren't bad.

Get a genital piercing. They wont mistake that for a hearing aid.

Today, some stoner freak was pointing at me and saying something. I had to turn up my hearing aid to hear him say "Where did you get that rad piercing man?", FML

I'm guessing it wa either an odd tragus or a daith. but how anyone can mistake that for a hearing aid is beyond me. maybe if you had a CBR and they saw a glimpse of it.

it's called a conch or a tragus (not sure exactly since either could be mistaken) piercing dumbass. if you don't know the name then don't pierce it.

I doubt that everyone in the world with a piercing knows or is required to know the exact name for the areas they have pieced. As long as you can point the area out, you'll get the piercing you intended to get.
