Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my sister tried to convince me to go to a plastic surgeon, because "Bitchface Syndrome's no joke." FML
Today, my dad, under threats of disowning me, insisted that I offer my sister a job in my company. I run my own law firm, she is a hairdresser. FML
Today, my therapist told me that I need to do something different with my hair. Then I paid her. FML
Today, I got a haircut at a fancy salon and made small talk with the stylist. While she washed my hair, I said, “Wow, this is better than my girlfriend does it.” She replied, “That’s because I’m a professional. Also, I’m your girlfriend’s cousin.” FML
Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my teacher for always comparing me to my sister that she had a few years before. After I said, "I'm not my sister so please stop comparing me to her," she responded, "Of course you're not your sister, I actually like your sister." FML
Today, my mother told me I should think about quitting school. She explained that the reason was because she didn't want me to be more successful than my older sisters. FML
Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML
Today, my sister has been going on and on about how sexy her new doctor is. She’s been plotting to fake an illness just to see him again. When I explained that doctors are professionals and even if he were interested it would be unethical for him to say so, she called me a fat, jealous loser. FML
Today, I got my sister to pluck my eyebrows. She shaped them wrong, so now I look constantly sad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I've been doing hair for 10 years now and make quite a bit more money than most of my friends who have "professional" jobs. Next time you're getting your own hair done why don't you take a moment to ask your stylist about the Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Electricity classes he/she had to take before you write it off as a "worthless qualification".

First off, you can make good money in hair. Women are vain, men are vain, and everyone is willing to pay to look good. And before you write it off as worthless, why don't you cut someone's hair, and see how it turns out? While I would never go into hairdressing, I would never deem it worthless... otherwise my hair would look like crap. Second off, you should ALWAYS know what your patients work in before complaining. It avoids insulting them. Third off... your patients are NOT paying you to complain. Do your job, be cheerful, and listen to THEM complain. Fourth off... I hope your hairdresser never hears you think low of him. You may never look acceptable again.

I am a hair dresser, and although we don't make as much as a doctor would, you can still make alright money with it. Plus its a wonderful job to have if you are planning on going to school for an even higher paying job, which is what I'm doing. And for being such a snob about careers, I hope your hair gets butchered next time you get it done

YDI dude....maybe your sister wants a job that makes good money and allows for good conversation and real human interacting (like being a hair dresser) instead of a judgemental stuck up prick who has no one to talk to but his "patients". ydi for judging your sister instead of standing behind everything she does!

I'm a hair stylist! And no its not as simple as people think! We have to have people skills and study anatomy, physiology, chemistry, geometry, and know when to keep our mouth shut! Maybe you should go to cosmetology school so that you can learn these things!

You should just want your sister to be happy , I hope she makes it big and shoves her cash down your throat, duche.

sure, it's nice for his sister to be happy, but as her brother i'm pretty sure he wants his sister to aspire more than simply being a hair dresser. it might make her happy, but it's not very smart to rest one's life on a job that just about anyone can do and has little to no stability. i understand the people that are doing cosmetics and are successful with it, but you guys aren't the majority. the vast majority of people i know that have taken that route (and there are lots as people in my area rarely go on to college) aren't successful. just because it has worked out for you is no reason for him to not want something a bit more reliable for his sister.

i actually had that almost exact conversation with my doctor.. he asked me if i was going to school I said yes, then he started on a rant about how working solely with your hands is a dumb decision and he looks down on anyone that does, then he asked me what i was going to school for, and I replied Cosmetology.

wow beauty school is not worthless. someone has to cut and color hair and do nails and everything else. there is no worthless job because someone has to do it. not every person in this ******* country can be and/or wants to be a doctor or lawyer. YDI for being a judgmental prick. get over yourself

No one had to do it, hell I plan on not going to one. It is only a thing because people are vain and, in my Opinion, jobs that exists only for people's vanity is a stupid job. It is also in my opinion that iPhones are too small, damn thumbs.
