Today, a guest of the private beach club I work at asked if I could do something about the water temperature in the ocean. I laughed, thinking it was a joke. She was serious and complained to my boss, saying I was absolutely no help. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at work, I got a complaint from a guest. She complained that after spending two hours to get her hair done for a wedding, she got drenched with water from a child. I work at a WATER PARK. Thank you for calling me a pathetic asshat for no reason in front of other guests. FML
Today, while I was at the beach I decided to go into the ocean even though the waves looked rough. While I was in the water, I got caught by the riptide and needed to be saved. The reason I was at the beach? I'm a lifeguard. Now all my co-workers won't stop laughing at me. FML
Today, I went downstairs to complain to my landlady that there was no water when I was trying to wash my hair. To which she replied, "No, of course there is water, it's just all going into my swimming pool." FML
Today, I was at the pool, casually flirting with one of the lifeguards. He said that he would gladly give me CPR, in the event that I needed it. I laughed and thanked him, stating that it was a sweet idea, even though I wouldn't be needing assistance. I then choked on my bottled water. FML
Today, as a supervisor at a water park, several clients came up to me and complained about a topless girl in our wave pool. I found the girl, called her out, and politely told her that she was not allowed in the pool without a top. "She" was a fat 15 year-old boy. FML
Today, while taking part in a lifeguarding exercise, I was supposed to "drown" to get another guard to save me. After all was done, my boss called me into his office and screamed at me for "drowning the wrong way," and threatening our reputation. FML
Today, I went to the university pool. There was this cute lifeguard there, and every time I got out of the water I saw her looking at me, so I walked up to her and asked if everything was OK. She told me she thought I was going to drown. FML
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to post a sign at the deep end of the public swimming pool, saying, "This end topless only." When someone complained, he said that I did it, and I got banned from the pool for life. And fired, too - I was the lifeguard. FML
Today, I nearly drowned. I was at a wave pool for the first time and stupidly swam out to the deep end. When the waves turned on, I discovered I can't swim in rough water. Despite my yelling, "Help!" and flailing around, the lifeguard paid me no attention. My friend had to save me. FML
Today, I work cleaning houses and a customer submitted a complaint about me to my boss, because he didn’t expect me to use his water from his taps, running up his water bill, which he saw as unfair. What was I supposed to do, bring a water tank with me on my back? Prick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell her you'll check the global thermostat, the hippies keep complaining about global warming and turning it back down.

Yes, they do exist. And yes, they do reproduce.

With great money often comes great stupidity. Hence this situation...

I thought it was with great money comes a great lack of responsibility. Though yours seems to fit this more.

Some people can't tell the diffrence between a pool and the sea. Hope in humanity lost

LOL this FML is so funny!

It's honestly very annoying when someone says they've lost hope in humanity. It's so overused and unoriginal up to the point where I want to kick anyone who ever says that again.

Implying there was any hope worthy of the title "hopeful" in the first place.

I really hope your boss laughs at them also

Well I did intend to use that overused joke. Yet the stupidity of some people never ceses to amaze me. And who are you expecting to write a good comment while ******** on the toilet

Tell her to bring her own ocean temperature adjusters, obviously you don't have any.

Actually, OP has one way, but she'd to swim close to the guest in order for it to work. And it's only temporary.

Well I'm not surprised they complained. How terribly rude of you!

So was your boss a brain dead moron who sided with her? If she has a problem with it she should skip stones...

Tell her that global warming broke the ocean temperature adjuster

I was just having a conversation with my friend about how people can't get any dumber. Thank you, Op, you have shown me I was wrong.
