Today, at work, a customer told me how unprofessional my piercing made me look, and insisted that someone else wait on his table. It's not a piercing, it's a mole. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at a job interview at McDonalds. All was going well until the manager told me that I'd have to remove the piercing that I have on my eyebrow. I didn't think that my mole would be so confusing. FML
Today, I went in to see my piercer. He took one look at my piercing I got a few months ago and laughed saying "What a shit job, I'm sorry but that's pretty crappy because it's not even straight!" I then had to awkwardly explain it was indeed him who had pierced me. FML
Today, I was working customer service at a large grocery store. I recently got a small, tasteful septum piercing that is barely visible. As I greeted a customer, she began to gag, held out her hand as though she was fending me off, and said, "I can't. Your nose ring makes me sick." FML
Today, at work, a customer told me that my teeth would make a very pretty necklace. FML
Today, I was excited about showing everyone at work my new piercing. It's in an interesting place in my ear, and it's not that common. Before I had the chance to tell anyone about it, someone asked, "Are you wearing a hearing aid?" FML
Today, I was told I can’t wear a nose ring at my new job because several customers "don’t like it." It’s a very small nose ring and the job is a shack that serves food through a window. FML
Today, I got into trouble at work because a customer complained about my face tattoo, I don't have a face tattoo but I do have one behind my ear. Nonetheless, I still got written up and had to cover it with a band-aid, which ripped out hair when I took it off. FML
Today, I had a woman throw a clipboard and yell at me to then storm off, still yelling in the mall where I work, all because I'd told her it was too late to do a piercing tonight. FML
Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML
Today, I went on a job interview. The interviewer said it all went well, but he can't hire me because I've got a nose piercing, and that type of "image" isn't the kind they're looking for in their employees. This is the guy who had a full sleeve tattoo. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is why animals don't make great jewelry. Just think of the poor little mole family left without their father.

Honestly, it's a new day and age, I still don't know why tattoos and piercings are deemed inappropriate, offensive. Or unprofessional. They don't affect the quality of your work. But how did he mistake a mole for a piercing?

'wasn't your mole over on your other cheek?' 'I have a mole?'

even if it was a piercing, instead of a mole, I don't understand why it would bother someone so much that they'd demand another server? people are seriously ridiculous these days.

Might be time to get the mole looked at/removed.

The guy kinda sounds like a nightmare anyway. Might've been a good thing if you didn't have to serve him.

I hope you spoke up and explained, or at least you should do so in future. Don't let people treat you like that.

Should've written some optician numbers on his bill. What a douche.

Even if it was a piercing, it has nothing to do with how well you can perform your job. Judgemental asshats suck!

was it on your top lip? damn, easy mistake on their part but still so frustrating!

I have 7 piercings (including 2 on each lobe) and plan on getting multiple tattoos in places where they can be easily covered. This is exactly why. xD
