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

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

Maybe it's for the best, if your boss is like that. How can a boss just assume they know something like that? Ugh sorry OP good luck finding another job

Talk it out with your boss! He/she will probably understand then. But if they don't, then your ex boss is an idiot, and you should try finding a new job with a nicer and more understanding boss!

Unemployment!
BlowinChronic 18
Yeah, that's usually what happens when you're fired.
tabbycat2007 22
I'm pretty sure you can't claim unemployment from a job you've worked at for a day.

I like her name...anyway, some people just like to watch people suffer. Then, when karma gets them, they bitch about how life's unfair. Screw these people..

Have you ever noticed that pretty much all your comments get thumbed down? Perhaps you should think before you comment.
emilyjgraham 34
40, people shouldn't not comment because they may get thumbs down! he says what he's thinking, even if it's not funny or a good comment doesn't mean he should rethink before writing something he doesn't want to say! :)

Strawberrywine22 after looking at his profile, it states that he is from India. Maybe you should consider that English may be his second language. How about you think before you comment...

I'm going to say YDI because you let him follow you around the whole time when you could have threaten him to get the manager. Although it did suck that you were followed around by a racist twat.

Reporting it to management as soon as it started would have been the better thing to do. That way at least the ol' ass was covered.

Wiggers aren't really 'racist' as such. They tend to be genuinely trying to integrate themselves into black culture. They're idiots, but they're not racist.
mario2012 18
I always thought it was a racist term. Thanks 46 for clarifying. I feel stupid now.

I'm sorry but I had to laugh at this. Especially picturing what I would have done to that dude if he was doing that to me.

Follow your boss around and pretend to be his girlfriend.

You mean he's just doing a cover of "Black people love making music?" Who did the original? I can't find it on iTunes. Was one of his original songs about an anti-Semitic Superman?
