Today, I learned how my coworkers differentiate between my coworker and me as we have the same name, when I overheard one of them ask the other, "Which one, ugly Leslie or hot Leslie?" When the answer was "ugly Leslie," he walked straight to me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that since there are 3 people with the same name as me at work, I'm known as "the ugly one". FML
Today, my coworker screamed at me for once again calling her by a different coworker's name. They have the same hair, skin color, and body type, so I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to tell them apart. FML
Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML
Today, I called my coworker by the name of another coworker, and now he won’t speak to me. They’re both bald and roughly the same weight and height, so it’s not like I can easily tell them apart. FML
Today, I found out that even though my sister and I are identical twins, I'm known as "The ugly one". FML
Today, I overheard a conversation between a coworker and a new employee. The new girl was trying to get familiar with people's names, and she asked my coworker, "Which one is Heather?" He answered, "The annoying one." She said, "Oh, that's Heather." I'm Heather. FML
Today, my first day at the job, I went up to my coworker and began to ask her name. She cut me off and snapped, “I have a name.” FML
Today, I was walking to work and saw three guys sitting at a table outside. One of the guys looks at me and says to his friends, "That's the girl that works at the grocery store. She replaced the hot chick." The other two guys glared at me. FML
Today, I overheard my husband of 3 years talking to our boss, an attractive blonde. She was telling him that she couldn't believe he was with me. She thinks I'm fat and ugly and that he's hot. He said, "She's not that bad…" We work in the same store and she follows him around like a puppy. FML
Today, I found out that I’ve been greeting a coworker by the wrong name for six weeks. The worst part? They never corrected me because they thought it was funny, especially because it turns out to be their mom's name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry. You are a beautiful person. Don't let them bother you.

That's nice to say, but you really don't know what OP looks like. You can only assume that her coworkers are complete assholes.

Agreed. Saying that without knowing what she looks like just comes off as insincere and patronising. She might be ugly for all we know but that doesn't mean she should be referred to as such in public.

Every person is beautiful. People have different preferences and likes, so there's always going to be people who find someone beautiful.

Even though I could never find a keychain with my name on it, I'm glad I have a somewhat uncommon name for this very reason!

#23 you are stupid
MRSwick2525 23
could say the same of you #24 however I am not that immature to engage with someone who clearly doesn't know how to read a post either. so enjoy your day fool.
nonsensical 26
umm she's saying that she's glad her name is uncommon so that the same thing won't happen to her... So I'm assuming she understood what the FML said

That sucks OP. Some people are just shallow and have no idea how to act like respectable human beings.

Maybe they're just jealous of you

Don't worry, you're not alone. People differentiate me and a friend by calling me "the fat one", so I kinda feel your pain. :P
