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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

People keep saying this isn't bad if you're under 20, but what? Are you serious? Why would the manager of ANYWHERE be under 20? I'd say the line is 25 here, because at that point you're out of college and should be able to get something better.

I'm 19 years old and I'm the Assistant Manager at a Dominos store. My Store Manager is also very young being only 20 himself. Perhaps this sort of thing is seen differently in Australia compared to where you are from but it is quite common here for people at my age to be in a management position at a fast food store. That being said, even if the person is 40 being in a management position at a fast food store can still be a great career opportunity. Some may not see it this way but if it is a job you enjoy and you don't mind working odd hours it can be quite good. There is a lot of room for progression and sure I may not be on $100k p/a but I'm being payed well enough to most certainly get by with no problems. I think OP should be proud of their achievement no matter what age.

#7 has the right idea. He's happy for you, so you should be happy in return. Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing, but like someone else said, you have to start somewhere.

If it's a job and your still in college then it's fine. If that;s your job job, then YDI. But I didn't say YDI cuz that would be too harsh...FYL.

Um...how is this embarrassing at all? You're probably in your 20's or less, and they're much older. Whoo, they're lawyers. Whoop-de-freakin-do.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you stay with your boyfriend for a few years you have a foot in the door at 1 or 2 law firms. Have to work your way up but I mean you have 2 connections through your bfs parents. Plus as managers of any place you make some decent money. Not going to get rich and live in a house like your bfs parents but not living in a box under the bridge either. It's probably a transitional job anyways so I wouldn't worry. Now if you are in your 40s and that's your life dream than that is a little embarassing.

Unless his parents are real jerks, they should actually be very impressed by this. It's NOT easy to be promoted to management in any field, including fast food. There are so many employees at those places and, by comparison, so few managers. Good for you! And, don't listen to the folks saying it's only a worthwhile job if you're in your teens or twenties. I mean, you probably make more than many people--especially teachers, many of whom have masters degrees! And, you know what, your boyfriend is proud of you. That's what really matters in the end. :-)

I don't see how this is embarrassing, or a "FML" at all. Rofl I agree with 59.

this is where you quit, start a new burger company named "king burger" that has the exact same food, hire a bunch of cheap laborers, offer a new line of "health conscious" products like salad that only has 600 calories instead of 1,000, expand to more stores, become a mutli-billionaire, invent a food that cures cancer, dump your boyfriend and marry whoever owns "coke" and take over the world, the solar system, the galaxy, then the universe. or, you could just deal with it. your choice...
