Today, I was fixing my makeup in the back room of the office when my boss walked in. He looked kind of annoyed so I jokingly said, "Don't you want your secretary to look good?" He said, "If I did, I wouldn't have hired you." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss's husband came over to our office, and as a by the way comment told our boss my make-up looks good and suits me. The thing is, I've never worn make-up to work, and obviously, he never told his wife, my boss, that she looks good with make-up on. I'm fucked. FML
Today, my boss commented on the fact that I don't usually wear makeup, then told me it would be much appreciated if I'd change that. FML
Today, I had a morning shift at the restaurant and didn't feel like wearing makeup. I was energetic and greeted everyone happily, but my manager told me I looked tired. I said, "Oh no I'm just not wearing makeup!" He said, "Well, you might need it." FML
Today, my boss told me that he’d hired me because he thought I looked intelligent. He then went on to say that it was about time that I proved that I was. FML
Today, I asked my manager if wearing makeup was a requirement for the job. She told me, "Not if you're naturally pretty... So for you, yes". FML
Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML
Today, I was talking to my boss at the end of an awesome internship. He said he was really satisfied with my work, and that he had considered hiring me. Turns out he decided not to because I smile too much, and it freaks him out. FML
Today, I got up early and really put some extra effort into my appearance to catch the eye of a cute guy at work. I walked in and the woman who sits at the desk beside me looks over and says, "Wow, are you sick? You're not looking too good." FML
Today, at work, the janitor would not stop telling me how good I looked. This was after he told me he was fired for sexual harassment at his last job. He clearly learned that lesson. FML
Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML

Well to be fair that was a bit too flirtatious if you don't have a relationship with him outside the office. But that was a huge slap across the face, FYL. Look at it on the bright side, you could always get back at him about his smarts later on. He left the door open. ;) PS I feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I see there's no "FIRST!!" comment.

There's nothing wrong with putting your make-up on when at work. I do but I put my make-up on before anyone arrives at work. As for your boss, ouch. Surely he wants you to look good for clients, so he should understand that you're doing your best, but go to the bathroom not the backroom next time.

For those of you telling her to do her job, maybe she was on her break. But she deserves it, since she set that burn up for herself.

Your boss probably didn't want a secretary he'd feel tempted to **** on the side.

I have a novel idea: DO YOUR F*CKING JOB AND YOU WON'T GET YOUR PRECIOUS FEELINGS HURT! aside from that, if you're overweight, you should be spending any spare time exercising, not caking on the make-up. Us guys hate girls who cake on make-up!

Makeup tends to just make people look worse.

Unless you had wasted an excessive amount of time while at work, that was really mean.

Well that's not so Would you really like to have you hired only because you look good? But anyway, there was definitely a girl that applied and was better looking than you. It has nothing to do with how beautiful you are, it's just statistics!:P PS: I agree with #48, make up sucks.
