Today, an old lady came to the bank where I worked at to apply for a loan. She obviously didn't qualify for one as she has no income coming in. She looked so pitiful, so I changed a couple of her information so she could. She reported me and I got fired. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while buying paint, I began to help an elderly woman working to lift some heavy boxes. She told me what a nice young lady I was. Then her boss came over, screamed at her for being lazy and fired her. She cried. So did I. FML
Today, the most obnoxious customer came into my job. She surprisingly scrutinized everything I did. She even mentioned I didn’t offer our store credit card (I honestly forgot due to being overwhelmed by her rude attitude). Turns out she was a secret shopper. Apparently, I failed her little tests. I was fired. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML
Today, I got fired. A woman, who'd been ignoring me at the workplace, told me I wasn't friendly enough. She turned out to be the manager. Apparently, she likes to test the new hires by being extremely cold and unwelcome. She never even introduced herself. Also, it only pays 70% of the minimum wage. FML
Today, I found out that I accidentally returned a customer her $147 check she had written out to pay for her groceries and receive cash back. The lady got free groceries and money, and I'm now losing my job. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I look like her ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's a good thing you tried to help her though! Didn't you see the movie, "Drag Me To Hell"???? Bad things could happen if you reject little old ladies!

YDI There is a reason for not giving people loans if they don't qualify. I'd also wager that the old lady was a 'secret shopper'.

You DEFINITELY deserve it. You may think you were doing her a favor, but what happens when the bill comes in and she can't pay for it, and, idk, her house gets repossessed? How is that helpful? Next time you want to do a good deed, give a homeless man a cheeseburger or something.

Wow, that's really terrible. OP, you seem like you just wanted to make someone's day. I think it's great to pay it forward, and I think you were doing just that. People like you DO NOT disgust me. As risky a move it was, it was proof that you care more about seeing people smile than earning yourself money. People on here being rough on you are the real idiots. They don't care about anything except following the system like obedient, robotic puppies.

seeing people smile? you think she'd be smiling when it was time to pay back the loan? i don't.

Are you stupid? If you want to be charitable, then give the poor lady your own money. Nobody's asking you to turn your back on the lady, but when you work for a company, your loyalty lies with them. Unless they're asking you to do something immoral, you don't **** with their policies, especially policies that ensure the company making money rather then losing profit and ******* over the poor old lady's finances even worse. If she can't afford to pay back the loan right now, what do you think would happen when she's forced to pay back what she borrowed PLUS interest? It's arguably more considerate toward the old lady if you deny her loan instead of putting her at an even higher risk of financial ruin.

I agree. The only thing I do for people is stuff that will help them now. Like, helping push cars out of the snow or assisting in an accident (trained to do, so dont even start in on me for that), giving directions to lost people, things like that. I would never have done what OP did because it will come back to bite me and while I dont mind helping out people, I never assume it will work out well. PS: I hate PETA, useless....

This is when you advise her to bring son or grandson or someone in her family who has income coming in to cosign the loan. YDI Thank god you dont work at a bank anymore. If someone has no income coming in, how will they repay the lan. IDIOT

People like you are the reason the economy is the way it is right now. If you want to be generous, more power to you - but don't do it in a bank.

So if this lady was a legitimate pitiful old lady, you still would have felt good about giving her the loan? If she was taking it out against her house, when she couldn't make the first payment (which she wouldn't since you said she has NO INCOME), she'd default and find herself in foreclosure. How is helping an old woman lose her home 'charitable'??

YLIF for just being in that lose-lose situation. Obviously what happened sucked and you were kind of wrong. If you'd refused her, you'd have a job but feel really bad. Advice: get a new job that doesn't involve that kind of shit and also isn't boring as hell.
