Today, there was a big snow storm and I wanted to help shovel, so I put on 3 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of pants, 2 winter coats, 2 pairs of gloves, a hat and a scarf. Once outside, I was told to go back inside because the job was done. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I shoveled snow at work. I had to because my co-workers refused to "get sick." I told my co-workers if anyone needs me, just tell them I'm shoveling snow. Our boss asked for me and they said that I left without punching. This also happened when I went out to water the flowers in the summer. FML
Today, I spent over an hour shovelling the walkway and driveway, snow blowing in my face and down my coat. When I was finally finished, a guy started going through the neighborhood plowing everyone's driveways for them. FML
Today, after shoveling one guy's steps, sidewalk, and driveway for two hours straight, I went to ask for my money. He said, "Work is its own reward!" and shut the door in my face. FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, my parents left early in the morning to run some errands, and I thought it would be nice to shovel our rather large driveway for them while they were out. An hour later, they returned from the store with a snow blower. FML
Today, I spent nearly half an hour clearing several inches of snow off my car. After almost suffering from hypothermia, I finished. Except the car keys were missing from my pocket, presumably buried under a foot of snow. FML
Today, my mom made me shovel our long driveway, as it had just snowed a couple of inches. It took me two and half hours to finish. She came out and said, "Wow, is this really the best you can do?" FML
Today, I was written up at work because I took off my badge. While I was putting on a sweater for this cold weather. FML
Today, while working at a grocery store, I spent about 30 minutes pushing carts inside in a blizzard. Not even 10 minutes after I had finished, I looked out the window and saw that not only had the snow completely stopped, but the sun was shining. FML
Today, while washing the dishes at work I was told to go put some things into the big freezer at the back of the store. While doing so, the door closed behind me, so naturally I pushed it, only to have my wet hands freeze to the door. I yelled to my manager for 10 minutes before help came. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take it from a Canadian, you put on too much clothing. A good winter coat, a hat and gloves are good enough to brave the mightiest storms ;)

Well Ontarians are a bit of ******* when it comes to winter. Something they put on multiple winter jackets, several touqes, and 3 pairs of socks like this moron, other times they can in the army to help with some snow.

Yeah, we Canadians aren't afraid of the cold, the cold is afraid of us.

What is wrong with you? Unless it was -40, C or F, with wind that is rediculously unnesassary for shoveling a drive way. How do you even get two winter coats on, or three pairs of socks into a shoe? One coat, gloves, a hat a just a pair of jeans is all it takes.

I'm assuming you didn't grow up in Ontario because in places where it snows frequently, people generally don't put on THAT many clothes to go outside (especially for labor). YDI for not being able to brave a little cold weather ... in Canada.

I live in Ontario and didn't even know there was a snow storm.

I have myotonic muscular dystrophy type two. So I can't be out in the cold either or my muscles just stop working. Worst part: I'm an EMT so every time some idiots forget how to drive on ice, I'm stuck out there in the cold for as long as it takes.

I had to put on two idiot hats, three moron coats, two pairs of imbecile socks, and four pairs of dumbass gloves just to read this. Sounds to me like you took 45 minutes just to get dressed so that you could conveniently miss out on the work and stay inside drinking hot chocolate.

OP is probably one of those lazy people who like to wait until the work is done and then show their face to make it look as though they had intentions to help.

if this is the worst thing that has happen to you today, seems like you have nothing to bitch about. actually seems like a win, you had the generosity to help out but you didnt do any work in the cold. grow up chump.
