Today, I found out that ever since I got my blonde highlights, I've been mocked behind my back at work, and nicknamed "The Skunk". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that since there are 3 people with the same name as me at work, I'm known as "the ugly one". FML
Today, I gave my boss a nickname. Everyone thought it was funny. Unfortunately, "The Troll" was behind me and heard everything. FML
Today, I finally found out why my new co-worker has been shooting me dirty looks, being rude to me, and generally trying to avoid me. It's because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and she thinks people like me are Nazis. FML
Today, I found out my friends call me 'Shamu the whale' behind my back. FML
Today, I found out I’m the “smelly girl” in the office. Now I understand all those passive-aggressive subtle comments about hygiene and showering made by my coworkers, and why a bottle of Dial body wash randomly appeared on my desk one day. FML
Today, I learned that my hair color is classified as "Buttered Toast". FML
Today, I found out people are suspicious of me at work because I do a good job. FML
Today, I went to work at my new job after taking a shower but I'd forgotten to put on deodorant. I started getting strange looks and wondered why, only to find out later that everyone was talking about me, including someone I have a crush on. FML
Today, I was made fun of at work by my mom and my supervisor. I work at a kids' anti-bullying camp. FML
Today, I let my friend who is in 'beauty school' do my hair. I now look like i have a mullet. What was supposed to be auburn highlights is now hot pink. I have a job interview in the morning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Am i the only one wondering if she got her highlights done at first choice? Sorry OP but if they're making fun of your highlights they probably don't look that good....

Probably so. The upside to this is that it is fixable!

Or they are jealous ( if they are women), some girls tend to be very mean when another female is looking better than them! I say if OP likes it then that's all that matters :)

Pepe le pew's wife? Nice... I like skunks as long as they don't spray me... Haha.. Don't worry op, I'm sure you look good regardless of the hair color you have.

Hahaha I was about to ask her if she had had any cartoon skunks trying to chat her up in a French accent!

Don't let them get to you. Just keep your head held high and maybe flip your hair as you walk by!

If their talking about you behind your back, they're in a good position to kiss your ass.

People are mean! I feel your pain. My brown with blonde highlights made people nickname me "Goober". Saying I look like Smucker's Peanut butter &Jelly stripes.):

That's why you don't get blonde highlights in dark hair...

I got light highlights once. It looks fine unless they're done too thick. And my hair is really dark.

Don't feel bad in the 90s I got highlights and they looked bad! Well damn what was I thinking

I feel bad for OP being made fun of for her choice in hair color/style. I personally think the 'skunk' look is unattractive but it's just my opinion and I would never make fun of someone for making that choice for themselves.

They're defiantly jealous because you probably look super hot with those highlights! I'll bet all the guys go for you first, and your co-workers have to settle for your rejects.

Defiantly jealous, huh? Lol ;-)
