Today, I worked my two jobs. During my first job, my mom took my car to LA and was late coming back. On my way to my second job, as soon as I got off the freeway the exit to my job was closed due to a protest for Palestine. If you want to protest, at least do it on a day when I don't have to work my second job, please. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on my way home and there were BLM protestors, who I have no problem with, but my car was parked where they were and I had to sit there for three hours until they left so I could drive off. FML
Today, I got pissed and tried to storm out of work, only to get outside and realize I couldn't because I'd let my coworker borrow my car for lunch. FML
Today, I drove my car to work as I had some errands to do after, even though I only live a few blocks away. After driving round to find a car park for ages, the closest car park available was outside my house. I ended up walking to work instead. FML
Today, the parking shuttle for work pulled away right as I was walking up to it. I was late to work. For the second day in a row. FML
Today, I was late for work again because of road workers in front of my house parking me in. This has been going on since February, and will be until August, "Weather permitting." FML
Today, I had to work a double shift after my relief called in "sick" just so he could go to a party. FML
Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, while leaving late for work, I walked out to my car only to find the back window broken. Worst part was, I still had to go to work because no one who could cover me showed up. FML
Today, thanks to protestors blocking the M25, I missed the only job interview I’ve been invited to in 10 months. FML
Today, despite getting to the bus stop early, the first bus didn’t turn up. The second one was late, and severe traffic caused me to be late for work. I can’t afford for my wages to be docked from this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As much as I’m not a fan of genocide, blocking a road is not the best method of protest. You’re not benefiting anyone. You’re just gonna be getting angry motorists.

I don't think protesters care about your work schedule.

Except it just makes people angry at the protesters, not the people responsible. Best places to protest are at embassies for those countries. Making desperate people late for work or gods forbid, medical emergencies is not going to help their causes. I get it, I do. I'm against genocide, too but there is a right and wrong way to go about protesting.

The point of protests are to make the public as angry about it as the protesters. Just make sure as protesters to get the rage turned the correct direction. I.e to the people who have power to do something about it.

talks of genocide are disgusting terrorist propaganda. Hamas are among the worst islamist killers. Don’t you remember 9/11??
