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

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 was put on notice at work due to my "anger problem." Apparently, sighing in a meeting means you'll be labeled as someone with a short temper. However, the creepy stalker guy is on the fast track to management. FML
Today, I came back to work after being out for a week. As I walked to the back of the store, I threw my hands up and yelled, "I'm back bitches". Right after I said it, I noticed my boss was behind me. I was then taken to the office and wrote up for foul language on my first day back. FML
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
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, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. 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 got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. 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, while I was eating spicy wings, I suddenly sneezed. I was sitting in front of a fan and effectively maced myself when my spicy sneeze blew back into my face and eyes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Clearly, this person is blinded by their prejudice. I'm glad things worked out for OP before the situation for heated.

Perhaps the customer should have warmed up to the thought that OP simply had no burning negative feelings toward him.

It's just one of those days...

Some people are just...stupid.

How stupid can a person be?
Sandman366 6
Have you ever been to Earth? It's like a rule of life, if stupidity can be applied, then it will eventually be applied to such an extreme it will hurt your mind.

Some people are just...stupid. I mean, how stupid can a person be?
noisyboy4000 23
No don't ask that! Some people mind take that as a challenge -.-

Challenge Accepted
R3TROxLOV3 32
I'm unaccepting the challenge on 34's behalf. It's too early in the morning for anyone to properly deal with stupidity.

I suggest everybody in the challenge play GTA for a couple minutes before starting.

Nah son he was talking about the new sun gang hitting the streets that's why you were almost fired.

The ****?

That's messed up. I remember a while back about cops roughing up or shooting a deaf fella cause they thought he was using gang signs.

They couldn't recognize Sign Language?

I suggest carrying sunglasses on you for now on! Lol
LifeAlertTwerk 14
OP may not be allowed to carry sunglasses if his work's dress code prohibits it.
s0m3guy2010 21
With sunglasses on, OP can start making one liners to... make light of the situation.

Just because they're so ghetto that they expect everything to be gang related doesn't mean you should be fired
sammyjanette 17
This comment is completely ignorant. Someone from an impoverished area with a lot of gang activity, or as you like to call it the "ghetto" would know better than to think that shading your eyes from the sun is a gang sign. The customer in this FML sounds like the type to label any and everything as gang-related or ghetto......
martialart1st18 19
Are you ******* stupid? That's exactly what happened. They mistook OP shading her eyes as a gang sign. And as you said in your last sentence, the customer in this FML sounds like the type to consider all things gang related, which is what I said in my comment you dumb ****.
sammyjanette 17
The only stupid person here is you, you idiotic waste of skin.
martialart1st18 19
Haha damn bro I'm a waste of skin because of a comment I made on a website? You take this stuff way too serious lol. And to the other I guy, I get what you were saying,". You we're saying that anyone from the ghetto would know if it was a gang sign or not right?
