Today, I went to work as a home health-aid, and found out that my client turns his hearing aid off on purpose because he can't stand my voice. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to listen to some old phone call recordings at work, in which a certain worker had the most annoying high-pitched voice. To my horror, I discovered that they were my call recordings, so the annoying voice was my own. My colleagues all concurred they cannot stand the sound of me talking. FML
Today, I was fixing something for a guy at a steel manufacturing company. His employees told me that their boss can't hear properly, so I'd have to be loud when talking to him. When I'd finished, he asked me if I normally talked like that, or if there was something wrong with me. FML
Today, after telling my boss about my hearing problem, she simply told me to "listen harder". FML
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a couple of days off to recover from a nasty ear infection which has left me hard of hearing. However, he didn't understand why that would affect my job and refused. I work in a telephone call centre. FML
Today, my roommate shouted his entire part of the conversation at the dinner table. He refuses to get his hearing checked, nor lower his voice, so now my ears hurt for the rest of the evening. FML
Today, like the rest of the past year, I had to hear my roommate as he works as tech support from home. The man does not have an "inside voice" but echoes across multiple floors like a tuba, as he debugs people's software issues over the phone. Talking to him about it only makes him angry… and louder. FML
Today, I discovered that my boss listens to the things we say about him on the audio-enabled cameras at our work. I'm thus currently jobless. FML
Today, I had to call a customer. I usually try to avoid calling customers because I have a very prominent speech impediment. Well, it turns out the customer I called also has a speech impediment and thought I was mocking her. She hung up on me and filed a formal complaint with my company. FML
Today, my father told me to stop purposely singing out of tune because it was annoying. I wasn't doing it on purpose; it's my real voice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wonder what happens when Charlie Brown and gang become adults, will all they hear from their own mouths and each other, "Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah?" What a nightmarish existence.

He's old! He has certianly earned the right to silence if he wants it. Just STOP talking & get over yourself.

You, girlfriends on PMS and mother-in-laws have the ability to make deaf people thankful for their disability. I salute you.

Girlfriends don't "go on" PMS. They get their periods and sometimes have PMS. At least be accurate if you're being insulting.

I worked in a resteraunt once where we said that all the time. one day I wanted a milkshake but I couldn't decide what flavor so I did all three and made it extra thick. one of the waitresess asked me what the he'll I was making so I said a nice tall frosty glass of STFU. it's now an unofficial menu item there ten years later. if anyone says "cool story bro" to this you can shove it cuz it IS a ****** cool story ;)
