Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. They informed me they were lawyers throughout the meal, which explained the gorgeous house. My boyfriend excitedly told them I was promoted manager at my job. They asked where I work. I work at Burger King. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I borrowed my mom’s BMW to impress my new girlfriend. I'd told her that I owned an accounting firm, so I had to look the part. Today was also the day someone decided to rear-end us. That someone happened to be my boss at Burger King. Let’s just say, the cat’s out of the bag and I’m single now. FML
Today, I was at working at Burger King as a cashier. A girl I met last night came in and said, "Aren't you that guy from last night?" Last night, I had told her I was going to medical school and was going to be a doctor in less than a year. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply for a job, and we decided to eat there. After we finished, I went to start the car. When we got home, I asked him how much the bill came to. Apparently he didn't pay. I had already given them my completed application. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds of passive-aggressive comments, my boyfriend and I went into the kitchen. I started complaining to him about how his parents were horrible and mean. Little did I know, his parents had followed us in and were right behind me. FML
Today, I went over to my girlfriend's house for dinner. Her parents seemed upset, so I tried to lighten the mood by saying, "Hey, at least the weekend is coming up and you guys won't have to go to work." Apparently, they were upset because they both got laid off from their jobs today. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to dinner to meet my parents. He agreed to be on his best behavior, but when my mom told us about some shady stuff going on at her job, he replied that it sounded "fishier than Justin Bieber's cunt." We were quickly kicked out. FML
Today, I went to dinner at my parents' house. I was going to surprise them by introducing them to my new boyfriend. They decided to surprise me too, by inviting my ex to the dinner. Everyone was surprised tonight. FML

He EXCITEDLY said you were promoted to manager. He's proud of you! YDI because it isn't bad. Don't be bummed.

Hey, you gotta start somewhere. Hopefully his parents understand that. Odds are they were in similar positions early on, too.

the OP is most likely not 15 years old, which is why this is a FML. working at burger king at 18 is even embarrassing.

working as a manager at BK at the age of 18 is not embarrassing, especially considering they would have just finished school. And why is it so embarrassing? she has a job, which is a pretty damn good thing in this economy.

Everyone has to start somewhere. If nothing else, they should be impressed that such a large company has found her worthy of being a manager- which also shows that you are able to stick with a position for long enough to be promoted like that. Not an FML, I think.

if you think this is a FML, why don't you get another job?

oh & also it's an FML because you don't have to DO anything to be a manager at Burger King. the average manager only makes 8$ too. hahaha

Honestly, like many have said before, it isn't bad. He obviously said it proudly as you are achieving something at your job and showing good potential! It is NOT embarrassing to work at a place like BK to get by if you're still sorting out your future, going to school, or are too young for a 'real' job. Hold onto your contacts there because somebody likes you and will give you good reference for when you're looking to move up the food chain. Hold onto him too until he ***** up because he's obviously proud of you.

honestly thats not that big of a deal depending on how old you are. if youre still in high school then good for you that means you are a hard working kid. but if youre already out of college or something then thats kind of a FML. but thats not that bad, you shouldnt feel insecure that just because they are rich and successful that whatever you do is inferior. also you should be glad that youre going out with someone rich lol
