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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

I once was accused of being a Nazi for the same reason

Next time, block the sun with your middle finger. That'll really impress! :D

Did you tell them that? Don't feel bad I got fired from a job based on what a customer said too. It was bullshit just like your situation. Good luck on finding a better job with a better boss.

Ask to speak to the customer, then look him straight in the eye and say, "I wasn't flashing that gang symbol at you; I was flashing it at the sun. I am part of the Night Owl cult who shun the light of the sun as it is the mascot of our rival cult, the Early Birds, only the Caffeine cult can prevent us from destroying the Sun and allows us to walk in broad daylight." If the customer looks at you like you're nuts remind him that this makes exactly as much sense as his theory which almost got you fired.

Tell him that you weren't flashing gang signs, you were trying to tell him to steal second base.

That was an uptight dumb customer. Good that you saved the job though OP.

Was he white cause it seems like he would be white just out of pure knowledge of the stupidity of some white people
