Work and Intimacy: I don't get paid enough for this

I don't get paid enough for this

By Anonymous - 05/10/2010 09:41 - United States

Today, I was at work on a smoke break. I work at a truck stop, and it was around 2 a.m. Some old man pulled in and asked me if I would like to join him for some dinner. I said no, and told him I was working. He replied, "How much do you charge?" Apparently, even in sweats I look like a hooker. FML

Today, while working a night shift completely alone at a truck stop, a trucker asked me to get in the shower with him for a "funner night shift", and threw his towels and clothes at me when I told him no. FML

Today, while working at my truck stop, I helped a trucker check his tires. He seemed like a pretty nice guy, and we chatted for a bit. After he took off and I walked back inside, I went to clean the shower he was in before. Turns out he took a shit on the floor. His wife had been in there with him. FML

Today, while working in a restaurant, I took an elderly man to his table under a red colored lamp. He asked me if this was "the red light district." I thought he was just kidding until when I was placing down the menus he leaned in and whispered creepily in my ear, "You know, you're really sexy." FML

Today, I was walking down the street and while stopped at a light, this old man waved at me. Thinking nothing of it, I walked through a parking lot to get to where I was going, where he not only followed me, but mistook me for a prostitute. It was 5pm. FML

Is this why they hate millennials? Because we won't date them?

Today, as I was fueling my truck, I was asked out to dinner by a 65-year-old retiree. I'm 25. He stormed off and called me a bitch for politely turning him down. FML

Today, I was having a rough day and decided to go out for a walk at 1 a.m. to clear my head. I ended up being driven home by two cops, who thought I was prostituting myself at the truck stop. When we arrived, they had a nice conversation with my parents. FML

Today, I dressed in my sexiest clothes to meet my new boyfriend at a restaurant. As I was a bit early, I took the opportunity to smoke a cigarette outside while I waited. The restaurant owner came out and said, "Hey, you. Go and 'work' somewhere else, please." FML

Today, I was hanging out with a friend at IHOP. When I left, a middle aged man in the parking lot offered me $100 to sleep with him in the dumpsters behind the building. That is the first time I've been hit on in months. FML

I'm not paid enough for this shit

By Bartender - 20/10/2014 21:04 - United States - Saint Paul

Today, near the end end of my shift as a bartender, a drunk man stumbled into my bar, got upset because I refused to serve him, puked into my tip jar, then offered me half a pack of cigarettes in exchange for sex. FML

Today, I was cleaning at work when an elderly gentleman walked towards me, paused, and with a wink said, "That's what I like to see: a girl on her knees." This is the same workplace where another old man informed me that my yellow uniform made me look like a "suggestive cheesecake." FML

Here's one reason to quit smoking that you probably never thought of up until now. The list is apparently never-ending.

47: If I worked the midnight shift at a truck stop, I'd wear sweat pants too.

Don't flatter yourself, to be a truck-stop ***** you don't have to look hot, you merely have to look vaguely female.

YDI for smoking. No, seriously. And, sweats at work? Really? Not even jeans, but sweats? How professional.

Even so, it still surprises me that she can wear sweats. I work two retail jobs and can't even wear jeans... I mean, it's still work, still seems like you should dress appropriately. So, yeah, apparently I am just that "stupid" then.

Don't be offended, truck drivers drive trucks because MacDonald's won't hire them. it's really not their fault, so FT(their)L

My father in law is a OTR trucker. He makes decent money. Close to 1300 a week after taxes. Yeah, not Wall Street cash, but it's a living. OP, as you well know working at a truck stop, there are certain things you don't do. Telling a trucker your working, when you are actually sitting outside smoking, is kind of the number one rule. So, YDI.

Totally agree, 72. Trucking is one of those skill trades, and there's nothing shameful about it at all. As for the FML... I have zero reason to know anything about the trucker subculture, yet even I would know not to do that. How can OP possibly not know the implications of that response? And if she does know and just had a brainfart, why phrase that last bit the way she did?
