Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

New hire
Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "Mom" while at work. FML

Reunited
Today, I accidentally called my boss "Mom." Now she is jokingly telling everyone that I'm the long-lost daughter she gave up for adoption, because she knew I'd be a failure. FML

Bizarre Love Triangle
Today, my mom got me a job working for the man she's cheating on my dad with. My dad doesn't know that she's cheating, and my mom doesn't know that I know. It's just awkward. FML

Who is this?
Today, a telemarketer called and asked if they could speak to my "Mommy or Daddy." I'm 25 years old. FML

Mom of the year
Today, I went to a restaurant that I always go to, and one of the cute waiters gave me a discount. My mother called me a whore in the middle of the restaurant, then slapped me when I cried. FML

We all hate cold callers
Today, while working at my call center, I took a phone call. The guy on the other line just yelled "FUCK YOU!" twice at the top of his lungs before hanging up on me. But of course, the phone agent is always at fault. FML

Suck it up
Today, I work as a phone agent at a call center, which frequently brags about their awards as the "best workplace ever" because of their working conditions. In reality, we have to suck it up and ignore the burnouts from phone calls with Karen customers, and with the wage I get paid, I can barely make ends meet. FML

Tech support
Today, my mom has been calling me every ten minutes, asking me questions about her new computer. She called me at work, and I rudely answered her question. She called back, talked to my boss, saying she was a customer that called in, and I was rude to her. FML

Both jobs suck

Oh come on.... there's only a slight difference there ;-) Seriously though, explain to your mom what the difference is. I'm sure she'll clear it up right away.

Sounds like your mother is talking you up...

Oh, sounds like you are really a telemarketer. For you mom, it would lessen the shame and disgrace if society thought her offspring became a *****.

op could take calls, like a bank call center. It is still a crapy job, but at least op would be helping people, not irritating them

#34, it's possible, but the OP had plenty of space to be more specific, but chose not to. Be very suspicious when people are purposefully vague. If you ask a guy about his body type and he says "athletic," that could mean anything from marathon runner to sumo wrestler. Wouldn't you guess that he's probably closer to the sumo wrestler side?

Let's be honest, you might have to supplement your wage a little ;)

It's obvious from reading the comments that most of you, if you have children, haven't reached the point yet when it becomes imperative to embarrass said children on a daily basis. Do you really think Mom doesn't know what she's saying? I always thought it would be funny if parents could really make their children die of embarrassment: "Hey, Janie, isn't that your dad? What's he doing?" "What? Oh God,,," Thud.

Agreed although when it comes to embarassing her daughter I dont think she means to imply she is a prostitute.

Either your mother doesn't understand the difference between them, or she's mastered the art of embarrassing her children.
