Today, my mom called my workplace and told my boss to make sure I wear a hat so I didn't get heatstroke like I did on my last shift. I'm 25. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to stand up to my bosses for making me lose money and work with heat stroke... while my co worker got to go home early I had to work 2 hours later. Turns out I got a supervisor in trouble for making me work when there was help allocated. Now I have to walk on eggshells, FML
Today, I'm 35 years-old and I had to buy myself a hat from the kids section. FML
Today, while working at Starbucks, an elderly woman came up to me asking to turn up the heat. It was at 73. After explaining to her that corporate all the way across the country controls our heat, she's reporting me to corporate and is insisting I should be fired or she won't ever return. FML
Today, I was directing traffic at work during one of the hottest days of the year. Not only do I have to stand in the heat and exhaust fumes for minimum wage, I also had to endure people asking me "Aren't you hot?" as they drove past me in their air conditioned cars. FML
Today, my mom walked me to school to make sure I don't cut class. I'm 20 years old. FML
Today, I accidentally showed up 5 minutes late for my shift. My boss mercifully declared that I would not be fired if I called my mother and told her I love her. My mom died 11 years ago. FML
Today, I got a verbal warning at work for "having a resting bitch face." I had a headache. FML
Today, I was at work as a lifeguard. The temperature was absolutely stifling, but I tried to tough it out. A couple of hours into my shift, I passed out, fell off my stand, and crashed into the water. Or so the medics tell me. FML
Today, I fell asleep while lifeguarding, thinking I could get away with it due to my sunglasses. When I woke up, I saw my boss waving at me. Apparently she'd been trying to get my attention for five minutes. FML
Today, the AC broke in the kitchen of the restaurant I work at. Temperatures reached over 100 degrees and one of my coworkers nearly passed out. Our boss accused us of being "dramatic" and only let us step out after I collapsed. I need this job too badly to quit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least it's nice to know she's looking out for ya!

At least you know you have someone in your life you know cares, and know you know your boss won't let you get heatstroke again for sure. Get ready for some teasing coming your way op.

I don't see what's bad about this. She cares about you and doesn't want you to have another heat stroke. It might be a bit embarrassing but at least she cares.

Well in all fairness, you act like you are an adult who can handle heatstroke, but you just had one yesterday. She obviously has a reason to be concerned, and she is looking out for her child. I won't say this is a YDI case, but nor is it an FML.

okay guys OP here first off I am a girl second for those who are asking about my name long story that started with me being set up on a blind date for a TV show with a guy who was eerily familiar to my sister's bf with a lot of similarities and I can't stand my sisters bf so it made for an awkward date now onto my post I have had heat stroke before while working and wearing a had /keeping hydrated I am a level 3 first aid attendant for those who don't understand what that means I am just under paramedic pretty much so I know the risks and how to not get it but I wound up with food poisoning the first time causing me to get heatstroke last summer while working I am a security guard who does a lot of events concerts festivals etc. so I do know wear a hat keep covered drink tons of water to keep hydrated. anyways on Thursday I was working outside for approximately 7.5hrs and my work didn't bring hats for us to wear and I'm suppose to wear a company hat so I wasn't wearing a hat outside that time while working and wound up again with heat stroke this time mild unlike before when I nearly died needless to say Saturday when I was working I woke up and knew I was still suffering side affects of the heat stroke and probably shouldn't have worked but it was to close to my shift and it was a huge event that they wouldn't be able to do with out me so I buckled down and went I had my friend who is also a field medic drive me in and since he also works for the company he told them what was up and so did I the moment we got there and I told my boss I would like a hat and she gave me one right away and told me to radio her if I started feeling sick which thankfully this time around I didn't I am a little teeved with my mom for calling my boss behind my back even though I understand she was looking out for me because it went all the way to the co owner of the company who thankfully adores me but still I'm looking to enter the supervisor training and with her doing that it set me back and I now have to wait for the heat to die down from this

Punctuation OP, use it.

lol my favorite quote from a grammar and punctuation book "those with intelligent minds leave punctuation and grammar to those with inferior minds such as editors and publishers"

I love you.

Yeah, making sure your writing is properly punctuated/has correct grammar definitely means you have an inferior mind... Right.

Doesn't a hat keep the heat in?
notmysistersbf 8
yes and no technically helps keep the sun off your face its not a sure fire way to prevent heat stroke you still need to keep hydrated wear sun screen don't pump yourself full of junk food try not to stay in the sun for to long and if you are wearing a hat and start to still get over heated soak the hat in water and put it back on to help
