Work, Liar and Love: Pants on fire

Pants on fire

By Jamie - 04/04/2009 14:42 - United States

Today, I was at working at Burger King as a cashier. A girl I met last night came in and said, "Aren't you that guy from last night?" Last night, I had told her I was going to medical school and was going to be a doctor in less than a year. FML

Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. They informed me they were lawyers throughout the meal, which explained the gorgeous house. My boyfriend excitedly told them I was promoted manager at my job. They asked where I work. I work at Burger King. FML

Today, I was at McDonald's. I bumped into a guy, and as I was helping him pick up his food, I realized he was cute. I began smiling and I was about to introduce myself, when he began laughing and said, "It's you! I've heard about you!" He left laughing. I still don't know who he is, or what made him laugh. FML

Today, I was at a party. Trying to overcome my social anxiety, I was trying to take part in conversations. So, when a girl mentioned she had a doctor's appointment next morning, I blurted out: "What kind of a doctor?" Everyone stared as she responded: "A gynaecologist." FML

Today, I was asked out by a friend of mine. He's a doctor and works at a prestigious hospital, so thinking we would eat somewhere special, I got all dressed up. We ended up eating at his hospital's cafeteria, because he gets a small employee discount. FML

Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML

Too tired for this shit

Today, I met a girl at an airport before an early flight, after I’d only had 3 hours sleep. She moved here for a job in radiology. We joked, laughed, flirted, and parted ways. I told my friend, who asked why I hadn't get her number. I joked I would’ve if she'd been a doctor. He then says, “Radiologists ARE doctors, duh!” FML

Today, after working my shift at McDonalds, I went to clock in at my dispatch job. During a 911 call, I blurted, "Would you like to try the McRib while it's back?" FML

Today, a girl came up to me on the street and said, "You have like no swag, bro." Feeling clever, I said, "At least I have a high school education." She then took out her work ID, showing me that she was a surgeon, flipped me off, then walked away saying, "This is totally going on Facebook." FML

PS, #19, depending on the state you live in it varies, some states it's 15, but in most 1t's 16, and you can't do certain tasks untill you are 18. -I used to work there.

If you were lying, that was a stupid choice and you deserved to get caught. But there really isn't any shame in working at a fast food place. It's a source of income. If someone looks down on you for it, they aren't worth your time.

and we're supposed to feel sorry for you? How about you just don't lie about your job, especially when your real job involves a lot of interaction with people.

What, medical students can't have part-time jobs? But yeah, you learned a lesson about lying, didn't you.

"And??? I think most people in med school have jobs on the side." No, they don't; they're usually up to their eyeballs in school and lab work. On top of that, after the first two years of school, they'll be doing extensive clinical rotations; those don't leave extra time to flip burgers. The OP got caught in a lie, and I'm glad it blew up in his face; people like you don't deserve to get credit for hard work you didn't do.

Yes, life in med school was busy, especially during my clinical years, but I was working throughout my entire degree and at several points wasjuggling up to 3 part-time jobs, yet I successfully graduated with above average results, so I don't think it's reasonable to generalise and say that we all don't have time to work. And while it was a challenge, I don't think being a doctor necessarily makes me a better person than someone who works at Burger King, so I'm actually not offended that the OP lied, but I am a little surprised and amused that he bothered to do so.
