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.

My mum had this kind if attitude towards my belly bar and tattoo! And she wonders why I never want to come home!

What poor customer service! Just because you have a facial piercing doesn't mean you're gross. Way to make it seem like you burped right in their face or something.

I agree with your customer. Facial piercings in general are gross and look trashy.

Ps, if you look like trash, don't be surprised when people treat you like trash.

I may have to use that on the next girl with too much makeup

Your definition and mine of tasteful is entirely different

I don't think there is such thing as a tasteful septum piercing

No worries some people are judgmental shit bags. I know the feel I have my septum pierced except I have it gauged at a twelve. Plus, I bet that septum makes you look even prettier!

A nose ring in the septum is commonly used on cows. YDI , body modifications invite debate !

Just because you don't like it doesn't exactly mean that OP deserves to be treated rudely by other people.

To some piercings are good but I find most of the people who like them and that also compliment others that have them are young people. Honestly you really should not have piercings if you are on the job.

#172 Said like a truly ignorant person, who thinks a piercing actually effects somebody's ability to do their job.
