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

You didn't stand up for yourself and say that?

Go back and protest the firing and explain you really don't know the guy.

Exactly. Go to the manager and HR (if there is one). Call EEOC if that doesn't work. This is racial discrimination, whether impromptu or a set-up.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but are you tying to get away with the n-word by saying "wigger?" cus, wow.

I want to say FYL for being fired in the first few minutes... but, sorry, if you didn't claim you were being harassed by someone you didn't know before and after you found out you were fired - YDI.

Ugh, the word "wigger" is almost as bad as the real thing. Your boss seems like a jerk, and maybe you're better off finding another job.

Wigger is kind of offensive. Besides wack guy seems to fit better anyway.

Maybe the whole "bringing your boyfriend" thing was just a convenient excuse. Maybe your boss realized that you're the kind of person to use the word "wigger" and just didn't want you working there.
