Today, at work, a 3-year-old threw an egg at me from his cart. I couldn't leave my register to clean my hair because it was too busy, so when the new manager came in, he wrote me up for "unkempt appearance." Now my new hire probation period is extended 30 days, and my nickname is "Egghead." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at work at my grocery store I sold a TON of eggs to a bunch of kids. We joked around that they were "going to bake a giant cake." When I got home I found out someone had egged my house. FML
Today, at my first day working at Walmart, a customer asked if we have any egg cookers. I said I wasn't sure, but that I'd be "eggstatic" to go ask for him. The first clue I got to suggest he hated puns was him yelling "Don't get smart with me, boy!" and then threatening to kill me. FML
Today, a really pretty girl came into my work, but when I went up to help her, my brain misfired and I accidentally said, "How can I hump you?" She yelled at me, and my manager put me on probation. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
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, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, I slipped on a crayon a little girl threw on the floor, causing me to drop the tray of water I was carrying, making me spill it all over her. After getting cussed out by her mom, I was fired for making a customer unhappy. FML
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
Today, my mother threw an egg at my face with force because I returned home 5 minutes late to dinner. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's unfair they can't treat employees like that. Call the store owner if that doesn't work try searching for another job just make sure you keep this one until you do. Good luck OP.

I hope the kid's parent told the kid it was a rude thing to do and apologized to you. There's a reason I don't really like kids, mostly because their parents don't really teach them respect and what's right and wrong.

I think your boss eggs-agerated a bit there...
NeatNit 33
I actually think the boss did eggsactly his job - there's no arguing that OP needed to clean her hair. Even though the line was full she shouldn't allow herself to see customers like that. shell see the logic in the end :)

#10, she wasn't ALLOWED to leave her station to clean up. She was damned if she did and damned if she didn't in this case.

It's funny how everyone in the comment section always has a solution to every problem.
MandyO 15
I don't see any solutions.

Then shouldn't you dislike the parents? It's usually their fault that kids turn into brats.
bsums203 13
Its the parents you have to dislike. The kids don't know any better at a young age and its the parents job to teach them and keep them under control. I have met many good young kids and plenty of bad apples.

I hope the kids parent punched it in the damn head

If he doesn't believe you, ask if you can show him the security footage of the incident, which I'm assuming there is. This will prove that the incident really happened and demonstrate your dedication to the customers/store.

They cant right you up for following the rules and a work related accident causing your hair to be messy. You entered work correctly and due to work your hair was messed up and unable to be fixed. If they fired you, you could of sued. Hopefully it ends well. But you didnt have any napkins or tissues nearby to wipe it off a bit, the customers would understand even if it took a minute or two.

It sounds like your new manager is more of an egghead even though you literally have egg on your head. FYL I'd bring it up with someone over his egghead and maybe he'll get written up
