Today, I was directing traffic at work during one of the hottest days of the year. Not only do I have to stand in the heat and exhaust fumes for minimum wage, I also had to endure people asking me "Aren't you hot?" as they drove past me in their air conditioned cars. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to stand up to my bosses for making me lose money and work with heat stroke... while my co worker got to go home early I had to work 2 hours later. Turns out I got a supervisor in trouble for making me work when there was help allocated. Now I have to walk on eggshells, FML
Today, the AC broke in the kitchen of the restaurant I work at. Temperatures reached over 100 degrees and one of my coworkers nearly passed out. Our boss accused us of being "dramatic" and only let us step out after I collapsed. I need this job too badly to quit. FML
Today, my mom called my workplace and told my boss to make sure I wear a hat so I didn't get heatstroke like I did on my last shift. I'm 25. FML
Today, I discovered that no matter how hot and exhausted you are, being blasted in the face with a high pressure hose is always more painful than refreshing. FML
Today, while walking around outside with my friends, I was told that I have no right to complain about the heat since I'm not fat. Thirty minutes later, I had sweat out all the liquid in my body and promptly passed out from heat stroke. FML
Today, I'm sitting in a disgustingly hot office with all the windows thrown open. There is no fan, and the owner won't let us use the air conditioner. The smell of mold permeates the room from the ceiling, giving me headaches by the end of the day. The owner refuses to get someone in to clean it. I can't quit. FML
Today, while driving on the tollway my car overheated and died a few yards from the toll booth. I then had to wait, crying, in my smoking car for a patrol guy while cars moved around me. He had to push me through the toll and the lady in the booth said she felt sorry for me but still took my $3. FML
Today, I'm driving cross-country with my parents. As if the stifling heat isn't bad enough, they keep stopping to admire, comment on, and practically do a photoshoot in every corn field we pass. FML
Today, I forced myself into work with severe laryngitis. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, except I work at candy and ice cream store at a major tourist destination. For seven hours I had to communicate with unsympathetic adults and screaming, bratty kids by miming and using a dry erase board. FML
Today, I walked to the grocery store despite being out of shape since it was typically only a 30 minute walk and gas prices are bad. The hourly temperature on my weather app was wrong as usual so by the time I got to the store, I was sweating buckets. By the time I got back home, I was so overheated I nearly threw up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Better off earning at the strip club; like that guy's sister on FML #17233282. You'll still be hot, but a different kind of hot.

Boohoo, get a different job if you don't like it. Thats like police officers and firemen wanting pity for their CHOICE to be in danger. You chose it stop complaining. My husband is in the Coast Guard and works outside in 100+ degree weather, it sucks but it was his choice. FML more like F your choices in your life. No pity here for you!

i bet you say the same bullshit to the widows or parents of a dead police officer too. complaining because of a bad situation is called being human. most of us dont get to choose this. did you get to choose to be a dickbag?

you should've been like "**** YEAH IM HOT! BITCH!" & started chasing their cars just to scare the crap out of them.

I would of replied with something like telling them "Yes, I am hotter then you... in more ways then one." That statement is probably applicable in multiple ways... you know, if you're half way decent looking. They deserve a response like that. They asked a dumb ass question. People sometimes I swear.

I bet you you couldn't handle our temperature changes. You probably complain that +15 is cold. We don't really complain about the cold before it hits -15. We hit over +40 and the humidity made it worse. We had record highs all over the country. Even up North where 20 is hot hit over 30.

48C is over 100F.

It was 37 before humidity and 48 after (That's 118 degrees for everyone in the US). Dry heat is much more bearable because at least when you sweat it evaporates and that helps cool you down. If you sweat when its humid it stays on your skin and the heat builds up. Not to mention you can hardly breath because the amount of moisture in the air makes it feel like you're drowning.

I would of said "idk. come out of the car and you wouldn't have to ask."
