Today, a customer came in to the Pizza store where I work and complained that the food they had purchased had a strand of black hair in it. After some deliberation, my boss decided to fire me. He is the only staff member there with black hair. I shaved my hair 2 weeks ago. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I work at a food joint as a chef, and a customer found a long strand of hair in her food. The manager blamed me, even though I'm bald. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant for lunch. I began to eat when I noticed a blond hair in my food. When that happened, I went up to the counter and began complaining about their hygiene. When the manager insisted no one that works there had long blond hair, I realized that it was my hair. FML
Today, I was fired from my job because I would "scare" the customers. Two days ago, a coworker spilled fry oil onto the grill, causing flames to singe my eyebrows and the front of my hair off. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I look like her ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
Today, I arrived at the pizza place I work at to find that I'd been fired. Apparently, the class stoner came in last night and not only demanded a free pizza, but also claimed that I always gave him one. I've never talked to this kid in my life, but my boss still doesn't believe me. FML
Today, I'm broke and just started working in a restaurant at a luxury hotel. On my first day, the director had told me to get rid of my blue dyed hair. Back at work with a new fresh 57€ cut and no blue in sight, he saw me. I have some blonde streaks in the back, and if I don't get rid of them within a week, I'm fired. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me for racism after I refused to hire a black woman. I didn't hire her because she came to the interview wearing what was basically a bikini and she was covered in tattoos depicting lewd sex acts. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I thought I was getting promoted because my sales had been really high lately. My boss shut his door behind me and asked me if I could comb his hair with a lice comb to get rid of his lice. I had to do it to keep my job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like you're better off now, you can get a new boss who isn't such a d*ck. Win in disguise?

@14 "Yes, lets inform the PIZZA STORE UNION of this travesty and get his job at the pizza store reinstated! This is what you pay those union dues for!" Actually my friend works for a grocery chain and belongs to a union. IIRC the union isn't specific to the grocery chain itself but to retail workers. So there is a possibility he could get help from a union.

You could always order pizzas and complain about black hairs in your food and try to get your boss fired, assuming he isn't the owner, just a manager. Or eat his heart. That makes me feel better at least....

You realize you can goto the labour board for unjustified termination, right?

yeah..... three words for the people talking about suing: "At will employers" They have the right to fire and not give a reason. But yeah, that sucks dude.

Unless your job is quality control, that's not right. "At will employers"?! There is such a thing as unlawful dismissal.

Why didn't you say something in front of him and the customer?

It sounds like you have decent grounds for a wrongful termination suit. It's true that some employers can fire without reason. However, often they cannot fire for a given reason that is untrue. Chat with a lawyer and see if you have a shot at hitting him back - maybe getting him fired as well.

The reason your boss fired you was because THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
