Today, I started at my first job. Within the first five minutes of arriving, I was followed around by a white guy who repeatedly sang to me, "Black people love making music" along with a few of his own songs. It resulted in me getting fired for bringing my "boyfriend" to work. I didn't even know him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired, apparently for being racist to black people. When I told my boyfriend, he couldn't stop laughing. He's black. FML
Today, I'm a gay, black man who moved to a racist, mainly white, homophobic town for work. I've already had the cops called on me twice, and a group of teens yelled the f-slur at me unprompted. When I asked my boss if I could swap, he threatened to fire me. This is gonna be a long 6 months. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job. My new boss asked me if I was single. After telling him I have been happily married for 6 years, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I started a new job. The synopsis of my training was, "You're starting a job you're going to hate and you'll be fired for entertaining yourself while waiting for us to give you more work. But you're going to love being here." FML
Today, alone at my new company, the guy who works the front desk joined me for lunch. I was touched at first, but then he proceeded to have a conversation (against my will) with me about Whitney Houston, for over an hour. That's one lunch break I'll never get back. FML
Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML
Today, while at work, my ex-boyfriend came in. I pretended not to see him, hoping he would just pass on by. No such luck. He stopped to tell me that he was there for orientation. My company hired him. FML
Today, I started my new job. Less than one hour into the day, my boss told me that the reason he hired me was that I was the least attractive of everyone he interviewed, so I'd be less likely to cause a distraction. FML
Today, at work I wrote up my boyfriend (whom I've been secretly dating, because I'm his supervisor) for being $40 short on his register. Our policy is to write up anyone short over $10. He got mad and told my boss we're dating, and I was instantly fired. Then I got dumped for being a "tattle-tale". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What's so wrong about bringing your boyfriend to work?
WCARlover 35
I meant if the boss is willing to just make a decision without knowing. How else would they screw OP in the future?

One, they could easily distract you from the work you're supposed to do. Two, depending on where you work, it could also be a liability issue. What if the boyfriend gets hurt? Employees are usually covered by some sort of insurance. Tag-alongs, however, are not.

Meh, edit time ran out. I was gonna add to my comment. The only way it's ever okay for you to bring somebody to work with you is if you talked to your boss about it and if they don't distract you. If, for some reason, I ever have to bring someone into work with me, I'll tell them to wait at McDonald's (I work at Walmart) or at least stay out of my work area. That kind of stuff is okay. Other than that, it's a big no no.

This is kind of hilarious. Sorry about your job, though. Also, what's a wigger?

You can't tell what a wigger is by the way it sounds?

you should be able to explain to your Boss. And by the way nice use of the word "wigger".

I didn't find on the internet a translation for wigger. Can someone explain it to me?
Mister_Triangle 21
White+****** It's a white person acting 'black'. Essentially just acting like all of the negative stereotypes: sagging pants, sideways baseball cap, thinks they're "gangsta", etc

Racist af though.

Wtf is a wigger?
imavelociraptor 6
I don't care if you are white, black, latino, asian or from the moon. "wigger" is not okay. Saying that a white person in acting like a "******" is extremely disrespectful and degrading to black people considering it is almost always linked to inappropriate and low-class behavior. They aren't acting "black" they are acting stupid! To use the two as if they mean the same thing is disgusting and rude, and yes, i am black... I am also i teenager and hear this type of thing in school every day. It's really upsetting.

Should've given that wigger an uppercut for harassing you at work. That ought to stop his nonsense.

Well that sucks. Your boss should of asked you who he was instead of jumping to conclusions. Hope you find another job soon.

a wigger is a white ******. @ melthegreat

I meant the other person

I'm never sure how some posters somehow don't ever have any chance to explain themselves in fmls like this, it's like OPs job just fires people on the spot for being followed by customers and OP had 0 say or time to explain the matter I just don't believe it sometimes...

Be careful, the FML team doesn't like it when people imply that it might be fake. To them, nobody lies on the Internet, and to say otherwise is blasphemous. You don't want the Ministry of Truth stealing you away in the middle of the night, so you might want to mention how much you love Big Bro...errr, I mean FML

That's cold as "Ice Ice, baby"!

With a boss like it sounds like you'd be constantly 'Under Pressure' from him. 'Don't Worry, Be Happy': you saved yourself from a shit boss.

33- Those aren't songs a "wigger" would stereotypically sing, Vanilla Ice is however. lol

You should have Informer(ed) him that you had Snow idea who the wigger was

"A licky Boom Boom Down" ***I learnt that Snow first watched himself in that video while he was in prison. :P
