Today, my boss bitched at me because my body language "indicates that you don't enjoy doing your job". I just have scoliosis. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me in front of several customers for gesturing too much while I talk, because it's "unprofessional". I was using sign language. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, my boss pretty much told me that I'm too ugly to meet clients, and should stay in the office doing the paperwork. So basically, I'm a modern day Hunchback of Notre Dame. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office and bitched me out for a good half hour for my attitude to our customers. Apparently I always look pissed off and sound sarcastic. That's just my face at rest. FML
Today, my boss yet again said she was "literally dying", after she watched a funny video online. Long story short, I'm now on her shitlist because I couldn't help but point out that she clearly wasn't dying, and that her ranting was distracting me from doing actual work. FML
Today, my boss wanted to talk to me. Nervous, I went to her office. Turns out that my coworkers talk about me behind my back, and my boss is worried about me. Apparently, I lie about my bad knees, and me wearing black leggings is horrible. Most of them wear sweatpants on a daily basis. FML
Today, my boss came storming towards me, screaming just how tired she is with my constant bullshit. Already pissed off, I retorted that she's a bitch and should go lose some pounds. Turns out she was talking to her husband on her Bluetooth headset. FML
Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML
Today, I found out that my boss, who had promised me a raise, is not promoting me. He says I don't have the right 'vibe' and I'm not 'relaxed' enough for the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Print out a copy of the Americans with disabilities act and give it to your boss

Sorry OP , that's something you wouldn't have liked to hear. Some people are just ignorant imbeciles.

Is there a possibility that you are indicating in some other way that you don't like your job, such as the way you hold your arms or face or whatever? Either way, "body language" is a very flimsy excuse for termination. He sounds like a boss no one would want to work for anyway, but it sucks to lose your job no matter what.

My curve was like 40 degrees. I got surgery done and wear a back brace but its still pretty noticeable. Your boss is a dumbass.

Tell him about it! This is not an FML. Open your mouth!

Umm, yeah it's an FML because the boss is compensating to fire OP because (s)he think her body language says she doesn't like her job when it was just her scoliosis. Look into it and stop being a single minded douche about it.

Wow, wth! I had scoliosis (had an operation 3 years ago) and I would rage if someone told me that!

I used to have mild scoliosis after a particularly hard hit in football. Physical therapy actually cleared it up for me.

Duh. The kind we're all talking about is idiopathic scoliosis. That means it has an unknown genetic cause. Usually can't be helped through pt. Especially if it's severe.

That's the kind of body language that says "I enjoy being fired."

I had surgery for that when I was 12. Try telling her or physical therapy

It would be the most ironic thing ever if you worked at a hospital.
