Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Same thing different taste

The Girl Can't Help It

Today, I got fired from my job for having a resting bitch face when I get frustrated or when I'm concentrating on my work. According to them, I have to work on my "anger issues." FML

Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML

Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML

Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML

Miserable

Today, I was let go from an unpaid internship. The reasons cited was that I seemed unhappy at work. No, that's just my face. FML

It depends on where you work, say Disneyland. They have to be at the top of the line, smiling 24/7 being happy cheerful, chirpy no matter what. Anyways I'm just saying. Word of advice: Leave your problems at home.

Well, that'll definitely help you look less grumpy, huh? Same thing happened to me. I was written up for not smiling enough. They also said, I quote, 'grow a personality.' Just because someone isn't smiling doesn't mean their frowning!

Honestly, I'm not saying it's right that he straight up fired you instead of taking to you about it forest, but i know that if i go in a store and the salesman looks grumpy and pissy, it annoys me because its like they're giving you a dirty look, so if you work with customers then you need to at least put on a fake happy face.
