Today I got fired from a very promising new job where I made three times my previous salary from my previous job. Why? Because of a personal belonging, my bumper sticker that says, "How’s my driving? Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired from the trucking company I work for, due to numerous complaints about my reckless driving. I don't even do driving work there, but my ex keeps calling in to report me, and my boss wanted the calls to stop. FML
Today, on my way to my job interview, the man who was supposed to be interviewing me slammed into my car because he wasn’t paying attention. He fired me for raising his insurance premiums. I got fired before getting the job. FML
Today, as I was driving to work, I got a flat tire. While attempting to replace said tire, I got mugged. The guy took all my money, my iPod, cellphone, and CDs. When I finally called my boss to explain my situation, he fired me. Why? Because I was late and had an "overactive imagination." FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML
Today, I failed my driving test, and didn't get my great new job that a buddy helped me get. He got fired, and they won't hire me because he recommended me, regardless of how qualified for the job and how great the interview went. He called to tell me an hour before my driving test. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, I got fired from my first-ever job. Via text. I hadn't even started the first day but I'm expected to drive an hour and a half to my now ex-boss's house to return the key. FML
Today, to get back at me for our recent breakup, my ex put a "9/11 was an inside job!" bumper sticker on my car. I work for the government in New York City, and I just got a text saying that my manager wants to talk to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So your bumper sticker proved you’re a bit of a douchebag and you lost your job for it. Most major companies have standard for cars parked on company property. My company for example prohibits profanity and hate symbols including confederate flags in the company parking lot. They don’t want to ruin their corporate image by having offensive things parked outside their corporate headquarters. It’s their property, their prerogative and an at-will state.

Just wondering why you has such a sign. It is not funny, is not friendly and is not respectful towards other people. So I’m truly interested on why such a message.

If your job involves a lot of driving this is understandable.

Even if it involved driving, this still isn’t appropriate for a “professional”.

The person above you is saying the company's decision is understandable, not OP's choice in bumper stickers.

HAHA That's funny as hell! That's something I would have on my vehicle. But will refrain since my job is driving a school bus.

Seems like they probably told you to remove it and you refused. If that’s the case, you definitely deserved it.

They should have asked you to remove it first.

I didn't realize 10-year-olds were allowed to drive.
