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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 worked on a cruise line for 2 years. All cruise ships by maritime law require they have a working morgue due to the fact that when things happen onboard you can't just remove the body it had to be preserved

All cruise ships have morgues and jails. Just like airplanes carry bodies as cargo

All cruise ships have morgues on them. If an elderly person had a heart attack perhaps? I went on a cruise when I was a kid where a gentleman was murdered by his wife. They needed the morgue untill they could get the body off the ship

It is also common for bodies to be transported in the cargo area of passenger airlines, how else do they transport them over a distance? They probably have more room and better meal service than coach.

A couple of dead beats on board?

Why does this surprise you? What did you expect them to do if something happens in the middle of the ocean? Just throw the body overboard?

I worked for cruises before. They tell you that in training. You need to pay attention more. It's also pretty common sense since it's in the middle of nowhere and you have elderly guest.
