Today, I work on a cruise ship, and I just learned that we have a morgue on board. How did I learn that? It's right next to the crew laundry room, and I opened the wrong door. It was occupied. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my job as a hotel housekeeper, I accidentally entered the room of someone who hadn't left yet. To my horror, the man inside was having a massive heart attack. I just found out he passed away, despite immediate medical intervention. FML
Today, I'm at work as a security guard. At a morgue. Why am I here? FML
Today, I was assigned to empty the lavatory tank on an airplane. I haven't done this since February, when the contents ended up all over me. I thought to myself, "It can't happen again, can it?" I was wrong. FML
Today, at work, I went to fold a pair of pants that was left in a changing room to find out that someone had taken a dump in them. FML
Today, I was at work at the airport. I got called up to a plane's cargo hold, and thought I'd finally learn how to use the loader. Turns out they just needed me to weigh something down, effectively making me ballast. Then my boss told me to get the hell off, after which I hit my head hard climbing out. FML
Today, at work, the chest freezer was accidentally turned off. I work at a vet and the freezer is our morgue. It got opened before anyone realized the contents had thawed. FML
Today, I found out that for the past 6 months I have been sleeping next to a dead body. The cremated body of my landlord's father. It was hidden inside a wardrobe that I was not supposed to use. FML
Today, I boarded my very first cruise, in order to relax and unwind for week-long vacation. However, when I got on the ship, I found out that I get seasick REALLY easily. FML
Today, I was dumped by my boyfriend. We're currently sharing a room on a cruise ship. FML
Today, while at work, I went to unlock the washroom for a customer. Normally we don't allow customers to use the staff washrooms, so I was as surprised as the guy I found sitting on the toilet when I opened the door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What kind of cruise ship is this?!

To the people asking why there's a morgue. A cruise is in the middle of the sea. If someone dies suddenly, what are they going to do with the body until they get back to port? It's sensible to have one!

I bet you were dying to get out.

I guess the sign they put outside the door, "dead-end" was to be taken literally. I'd be mortified! I'll show myself out.

It's better than storing dead bodies in the kitchen's freezer

Hey, what's wrong with that? It keeps the bodies longer AND helps keep the smell at bay. Win-win right there.

25- I'm sure that'll work out. You'd make a killing. You see the trash that gets published nowadays?

"Today, I work on a cruise ship." ... wait, what? Other than that grammatical error, that's so creepy!

Every FML starts with "Today," probably wasn't the OP's fault. Most likely was put there automatically.
samasara 20
Yes, but OP could have easily worked around it. For example, "Today, while at work on a cruise ship, I learned we have a morgue on board"

Would you rather they stored the dead bodies in the ice cream freezer? Next ship your on try showing up on time for the staff orientation.

It actually makes sense. People die just about everywhere, and the only other option would be to store the deceased in the freezer. Or dump them in the ocean, but somehow I think people would be a tad bit upset about that.

...I am now terrified to ever go on a cruise ship. Holy shit.
