Today, I had to show up at an anti-drugs lecture with full-blown pink eye. It's from an ongoing bacterial infection, but the speaker said he'd heard that excuse a hundred times before, and shamed me in front of everyone. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my professor gave me a huge lecture in front of the class about showing up sick, about how I was endangering the lives of other students, and kicked me out of class. As I left, everyone applauded. I'm not sick, but suffering for horrible allergies. FML
Today, my boss called me out for a drug test. His reason was because my eyes are puffy and bloodshot, making me look high. I've been suffering from allergies all week, but still had to pee in a cup in front of a complete stranger. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, I discovered that the medicated eye drops I have been taking to fight a mild eye infection show up under black lights when I walked into a party and the whole left side of my face was glowing. FML
Today, I got sent home from work for appearing stoned/under the influence of drugs. I suffer from severe hay fever, which no antihistamine has fixed yet, hence the red and glassy eyes. FML
Today, my professor called me out in the middle of a lecture to ask why I was bleeding. I then had to explain to him, in front of around one hundred of my fellow classmates, that my largest zit had burst. FML
Today, it was my first day with new contacts, but I found out they make my eyes red and itchy. Today was also the day I had a very important meeting. They think I showed up stoned. FML
Today, I had a nasty cough, but I went to college anyway. When I walked into class, I could practically smell menstrual blood in the air. After a few coughs, our instructor gave me an "Oh, shut up!" After half an hour, she kicked me out for not "taking the class seriously". FML
Today, I had to leave class early due to a profusely bleeding pimple on my forehead. FML
Today, while at a school anti-drugs assembly, the speaker asked everyone to stand up if they knew someone who had died of an overdose. As I stood up, my friend hit me in the side, making me laugh. I stood frozen under accusing glares while the speaker bitched me out for a good 5 minutes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think I'd rather you be high then have pink eye around me. Really sucks though, you should have taken the opportunity to rub the bacterium on him . My thing though is why did you show up with a contagious infection?

#18 but if he explained the pink eye situation, I think OP's boss would understand! (If OP was going to her/his job/assignment)

OP never said it was contagious..

Pink eye is a contagious infection so OP didn't really need to remind us

#52 To be fair, I think the only way it can spread is if she rubs her eyes and doesn't wash her hands afterwards. I could be wrong though. Also, if only has it in one eye then she shouldn't rub the other eye without washing her hands afterwards because it will spread to the other eye. I had Pink eye a couple times when I was younger and that's what my parents told me. I think she's also supposed to be taking an antibiotic or eye drops.

You could always..... touch her with your germy pink eye fingers.

I'd say that speaker deserves pink eye just to feel like an idiot when they realize OP was telling the truth.

He had no right to call you out like that! Sorry OP! :(

Stand up for yourself or report him, that's pretty immature and ridiculous.

Whip it out and take your drug test right then and there. Nothing wrong with a little nudity.

Yes, because randomly "whipping" her ****** out would totally convince him OP isn't on drugs!

I would have shamed him for assuming the worst of people and asked him if he even har any friends because of his behavior

is pink eye not normally accompanied by a stickiness or is that not in all cases? whenever I have eye infections, they are crusty and sticky and awful. hope your eye clears up soon and that person had no right to make such a strong assumption, just because it's an overused excuse doesn't mean it's not true in some cases.

Bacterial and viral pink eye (conjunctivitis) are different. Greenish mucous ooze is a sign of bacterial. They both accompany a pinkish hue. Either way it's no fun for anyone involved. Certain STIs can cause this or fecal matter and allergens , chlorine,dirt , etc
