Today, I was working customer service at a large grocery store. I recently got a small, tasteful septum piercing that is barely visible. As I greeted a customer, she began to gag, held out her hand as though she was fending me off, and said, "I can't. Your nose ring makes me sick." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told I can’t wear a nose ring at my new job because several customers "don’t like it." It’s a very small nose ring and the job is a shack that serves food through a window. FML
Today, at work, a customer told me how unprofessional my piercing made me look, and insisted that someone else wait on his table. It's not a piercing, it's a mole. FML
Today, I was adjusting my nose piercing from the inside. My mother saw and thought I was picking my nose, so she slapped my hand away, tearing my nose ring out in the process. FML
Today, I was excited about showing everyone at work my new piercing. It's in an interesting place in my ear, and it's not that common. Before I had the chance to tell anyone about it, someone asked, "Are you wearing a hearing aid?" FML
Today, I got my septum piercing stuck in a bag of cinnamon pine cones at Target. My boyfriend was wearing a red shirt with khaki pants, so all the other shoppers probably thought I'd had to call a Target employee over to "cut" me out of the bag. FML
Today, while working in my pawn shop, I was showing jewelry to a distinguished lady. I had to fart. I tried to wait. It was too much, so I let it slip silently. As she handled a $2000 necklace, I realized that the 2-foot counter between us would never save her from the foul poisonous cloud that had formed. She realized it too. FML
Today, I was at a job interview at McDonalds. All was going well until the manager told me that I'd have to remove the piercing that I have on my eyebrow. I didn't think that my mole would be so confusing. FML
Today, I was threatened with suspension from school because of my nose piercing. I had to explain that it's actually a pimple. FML
Today, I went on a job interview. The interviewer said it all went well, but he can't hire me because I've got a nose piercing, and that type of "image" isn't the kind they're looking for in their employees. This is the guy who had a full sleeve tattoo. FML
Today, I swallowed the piercing that I had bought for my tongue yesterday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did you gag back at her attitude?

Definitely not. Whenever I see one I imagine a bull stamping it's hoof.

People should be able to pierce themselves how they want, but good on you for doing your best to make it barely visible at work. I cover my tattoos and piercings as well as I can for work because it looks more professional. If she gags at a nose piercing I'd love to see how she goes with belly buttons, dermals or nipple piercings ?

Septum piercings are easy to hide! Just flip it up into the nostrils and voila.

That's if it's a C hoop. Captive rings don't flip inside and if the piercing is small it's likely it's a captive ring.

What a rude, drama queen bitch! You just ignore her OP.

That's super rude but you probably shouldn't wear piercings to work

OP said it was a recent piercing. Usually new piercings shouldn't be removed for the first few weeks, especially not for an entire work shift. Plus, if their employer is fine with it, why not?

It's a grocery store...not like they have high standards for who they hire. If you show up on time and coherent track marks probably aren't a problem either.

Time for her to move to a different country if she can't even handle a piercing like that. Welcome to America, lady!

Just so you know, there are piercings in other countries too.

There is no such thing as a septum piercing.
Nilorak 24

Time to come out from the cave you've been living in, sweetie.
