Today, my boss informed me that it is now my responsibility to wash the dishes, since my co-workers are consistently too lazy to clean up after themselves. I have a bachelor's degree. Which I earned at the same university I now work at. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, I got yelled at for not taking an order correctly at work. I've been washing dishes all day and haven't taken a single order. FML
Today, I started work at catering company. I was aware that I'd be cleaning dishes, but they forgot to warn me how many. Needless to say, after polishing 527 glasses, my hands hurt. FML
Today, my boss used the restroom at work. She returned and told me I needed to go clean the toilet because "someone left a mess in there." It was her mess. FML
Today, my roommate said that whoever was doing the dishes was doing it wrong. I've been doing the dishes for weeks. So much for being a clean roommate. FML
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, I found out the unionized cleaning people that empty the garbage and clean the toilets make $19/hr and have more paid time off than I do with my college degree. FML
Today, I worked a full day and then went to a three-hour class. I got home at 9 PM, and before the door closed I heard, "There's a sink full of dishes for you." There are three able-bodied men in the house, all of whom got here hours ago and created that sink full of dishes. FML
Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML
Today, I had to tell my 28-year-old roommate she needs to wash her hands after using the bathroom. She then said she’d try, as long as I try to put my dishes in the dishwasher. Those aren’t even on the same level. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Bet it was Culinary Arts, Hospitality, Hotel and Restaurant Management, or something else where the entry level jobs are equally pointless.

Over-qualified much? Put your foot down and tell your boss that you refuse to pick up after other people; you're here to work, not be a mother. Worst case scenerio is that you get fired and find a better job!

If you work at a university, why are you washing dishes?

Maybe the reason you're doing dishes is because your degree is from a school that didn't teach you not to put prepositions at the end of sentences... to.

Yes! I was going to point out the same thing.

I hate to point it out, but a perhaps you should have got a degree in something worthwhile, and then followed it up and got a real job.

That's what you get for being a philosophy major.

#4, Maybe not. We don't know what the degree was in. It might be an Ed degree or something. #6, the poster wrote in English, not Latin, so why would Latin rules of grammar apply? Any school teaching that prepositions are incorrect at the end of the sentence needs to fire it's English staff.
