Today, I was told to "stop being such a little pussy." Why? Because my body chose to pass out from the heat. I didn’t complain even once, but I drank plenty of water and still passed out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while walking around outside with my friends, I was told that I have no right to complain about the heat since I'm not fat. Thirty minutes later, I had sweat out all the liquid in my body and promptly passed out from heat stroke. 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, at soccer, I repeatedly asked my coach for water as I was feeling light headed. His response every time was, "Five more minutes". Eventually, I got so dehydrated that I passed out. The first thing my coach said when I woke up was, "Why didn't you get some water?" FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, I decided to start exercising. I almost passed out five minutes into the warm up, and couldn't even stand in the shower afterwards. I'm only 21. FML
Today, at work, I had some palpitations, which ultimately caused me to become hot, dizzy, and pass out. I couldn't go home because we were so short staffed, and three different colleagues asked me if I was pregnant. FML
Today, I was fired from my cashier job for "abandoning my post." I saw a man pass out in the 100° heat in front of our store and I rushed to give him water. Not to worry though, my manager assured me he wouldn’t press charges for the water I took from the fridge, but I’m still fired. FML
Today, since my family and friends always make fun of me for being a wuss when it comes to pain, when I stubbed my toe, I made a point to not scream or complain in any way. Instead, I vomited and fainted. FML
Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML
Today, at work, I fainted and hit my head. When I told my boyfriend, he said, “Why does it matter?” FML

Absolutely your life sucks. And these people suck even more. But keep in mind that not only drinking, but also eating can prevent this from happening.

Why does this even bother you so much? This person's opinion doesn't have value. This is not an FML moment

You're lucky we just switched systems over and the warnings are ****** up right now, because you'd be getting another warning and a one-week ban!

Turn around, walk out, and don't go back. If it's work, file an OSHA complaint and quit. That isn't safe. (Because a commenter mentioned it, if you're in the military you need to raise a complaint so whoever pushed you that far gets training on what heatstroke looks like, because unless you're very weird, there would've been symptoms and that's dangerous. A soldier passing out from heatstroke tends to impair military function.)
