Today, my brother dyed my white work shirt bright green because I beat him to the shower this morning. As it's my only shirt, I had to wear it to work, where there was a surprise audit and I was fired for incorrect uniform. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spilled coffee on my shirt and had to change before a big meeting. The only clean shirt I had was a gift from my brother. I didn’t notice it said "World’s Okayest Employee" on it until I was sat in the meeting. FML
Today, after taking my jacket off at work, I found a large faint stain all across one side of my shirt. Turns out that my fiancé had used it to "clean up the bed." I am the manager of a supermarket with 40 employees. It was pretty obvious what it was. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. My boss is my brother. His reason being that, "it would create awkward tension between us." I've been working for him for 5 years, and it's like he's only just realised that I was there. FML
Today, my brother got pantsed by his idiot friends. It was a surprise to everyone that he was wearing women's underwear at the time, but even more of a surprise for me that the underwear belonged to me. FML
Today, I woke up early to make a good impression at my new job. As I was getting dressed, I noticed my shirt was missing a button. I frantically searched for another shirt, but couldn't find one that looked clean enough. I had to go to work in my buttonless shirt, and spent the entire day feeling embarrassed. FML
Today, after getting home from school, I realized I'd tucked my shirt into my underwear this morning. I'm fairly certain everyone got a good look at my lime green underwear. FML
Today, my idiot kid brother set my shirt on fire with a magnifying glass while I was taking a nap outside. FML
Today, I was at work, cleaning up a construction site. I picked up a beer can and accidentally spilled some of it on me. My boss came in to check on me and thought I was drunk. Instead of getting a raise, I was fired. FML
Today, my brother decided to help me artificially age some of my artwork by singeing the edges slightly. Apparently "my brother set fire to my homework" isn't a valid excuse. FML
Today, my little brother got mad at me, so he colored the entire screen of my new iPod Touch with a black sharpie. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow. That is just terrible luck when it comes to the audit. I would definitely be planning to get revenge on your brother. Maybe switch his shampoo with hair dye.

Don't you just hate work? It just shows how they view us a replaceable. Not as a real person with a good work ethic. Hopefully-if you want the job back- they might listen to your side and give you a second chance.

I guess green isn't really lucky at all...

My brother did that too my school uniform in Junior High. I feel you OP.

I really don't understand why you're getting down voted
snowneo 16
People are probably down voting because op should own more than 1 work shirt. Shows some further issues beyond incorrect color but also hygiene as well..

My brother only has one work shirt I believe, and he works at Wendy's
thunderniron 22
You only have 1 work shirt? Hmmmm
Joshwarrior 39
My train of thought exactly :/ on top of it white the easiest one to get dirty.
Moskaaa7 26
Maybe his other shirts needed to be washed?

If op had more work shirts, op's brother probably would of just dyed them all lime green. =/

First thought. And besides just dirt, it gets to day 3 and starts to smell. No.

I have one work shirt. I just wash it a lot.

I've had two jobs where they only provided me with 1 or 2 shirts. I've found that uniform provided is often based on your contracted hours rather than how many hours you actually do. I was working 6-7 days a week, but because my contracted hours were only 8 hours a week I only got given part time uniform, which was based on me only working 2 days per week. It sucked big time.

my work only gave me one shirt despite multiple written requests. some employers aren't great at the kind of thing.

Or switch his shampoo with alcohol so when he puts it on his you run into the shower and throw a match or a lighter inside and set him on fire and laugh and say "look who is fired now!" ......maybe mine is going a little too far.
alitairi 18
Or replace his shampoo with nair.
NakuEh 27
or.. it could be just far enough.

That is a bit too far 19, but it's creative and would definitely be poetic justice

... Nah, I think that's perfect!

Neon pink hair dye.

Well if you're working a minimum wage job, you are replaceable. That's how the roles are designed.

when St. Patrick's day comes around again, you'll be in luck.

Can we get a follow up after you get your revenge? You HAVE to get him back somehow.
Magnoxidans 19
Fired over just that? Doesn't sound like it was your first workplace offense?
coatl45 11
You would be surprised.
smokecloud_ 37
I wouldn't be allowed to work if my shirt was any other color than white. Probably not get fired for it, but I'd definitely get sent home.
False_Stupidity 42
That's what I was thinking at first too, fired over such a thing without even a warning first sounds highly questionable. Although if OP is employed as a casual he doesn't have many rights.

You should switch his orange juice for dye as revenge
sk8erd 15
really? fired for a wrong color? sorry, but your work is just.... dumb...
