Today, I got written up with a final warning because I ''drink alcoholic beverages'' at work. I was drinking Root Beer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's day one of my suspension and probably being fired from my job. Why? I accidentally took a beer out my bag instead of a soda, then got distracted working to make sure everything got done. FML
Today, my boss wrote me up for drinking Kombucha at work, swearing it was "fancy Asian beer." I went to HR with the bottle and they dismissed the write up, since they saw sense and realized. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML
Today, I got written up for not making a drink right. While getting yelled at by my boss, my co-worker made the drink the same exact way I made it. I pointed it out. My boss responded with, "He is allowed to because I like him, I don't like you." FML
Today, I was at work, cleaning up a construction site. I picked up a beer can and accidentally spilled some of it on me. My boss came in to check on me and thought I was drunk. Instead of getting a raise, I was fired. FML
Today, I saw one of my employees sipping from a beer bottle at work. I marched to his desk, snatched the bottle, and said, "Drinking on the job? You're fired. Get out." I then looked at the bottle. It was kombucha. FML
Today, I was sent home for refusing to sign a write up at my restaurant. A customer insisted that she doesn’t drink soda so she’d like a ginger ale. I calmly explained to her that ginger ale is in fact soda. She told management I was being condescending and rude, because she didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I got written up at work for clocking back in from lunch early. Yesterday I got a verbal warning for coming back late. I'm scared to go to lunch at all now. FML
Today, I got a verbal warning at work for "having a resting bitch face." I had a headache. FML
Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ah, the gateway drug to ginger ale.

I'll admit it took me until fifth grade to realize that root beer was actually non alcoholic. I thought my parents were setting me an example by never ordering it when we went out for dinner. I love root beer now though. Birch beer too.

I got the same thing when I was drinking ginger beer! To be fair, it was in a brown glass bottle, but what killed me is when my supervisor said "Listen, maybe no one told you, but you're not allowed to drink alcohol at work." You don't say?

If it makes you feel any better, I got my first write-up in my 9 years of employment at a company for supposedly flipping someone off during a meeting. I never flipped anyone off and several witnesses, including my own manager, said I didn't either, but I still got written up by HR. Wtf? Union couldn't even help me. Total bullshit.

OP Here! I live in the Netherlands and Root beer is not common here and thats why they didn't know it wasn't a alcoholic beverage. The root beer I was drinking is from White Rock and on the side it says ROOT BEER, guess they only saw the word Beer. Thanks for all your comments and publishing my FML! Have a nice day!
