Work: Respect Independence Day! - FML

Respect Independence Day!

By unpatriotic - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Eugene

Today, my manager made me remove an Eiffel Tower ornament from one of my displays. Not because it didn't look good or match the theme, but because it was "disrespectful" to have it out on the 4th of July. FML

funnily enough, our most famous landmark - statue of liberty - is actually French...

Bartholdi was the sculptor, Eiffel was the engineer.

Fun fact 1 the same guy designed the Eifel tower and the Statue of Liberty Fun fact 2, France sent soldiers (led by Lafayette), money and weapons, that ultimatly allowed the victory over british... so if there is one day of year the Eifel tower should not me removed , it's on 4th of July...

You do realise an engineer designs things, right?

does your manager by chance order "freedom fries" and "freedom toast" and ends every date with a "freedom kiss"?

Let's not disrespect the French, they're the only good friends we have.

Well back tracking our large symbol of the fourth is the stature of liberty which was from France thus the Eiffel Tower is relevant...

Ironic. Never could have won the Revolutionary War without the French!

Which is funny because the reason the colonies were taxed was to pay for a war to protect them from the French

Can't have a Statue of Liberty ornament either because that was made by the French. :P

Today, at work at an OB office, I heard a ruckus in the hallway before a very large woman burst into my room and tried to attack my very pregnant patient. Crazy lady is the wife of the pregnant lady’s baby daddy, who is nowhere to be found. I don’t get paid enough for this shit. FML

Today, was my birthday. My friends love to play pranks on me, so when I entered the door for my surprise party, I became aware of the surroundings. There was nothing. Everyone was staring as I slowly entered the room. When I closed the door behind me, a freaking bucket of pee fell all over me. FML

Today, I tried to give my cat a bath after he got into the attic and got covered in all sorts of shit. Halfway through, he freaked out, jumped out of the tub, and ran around the house dripping wet. He then hid under my bed, and I had to practically dismantle it to get him out. Now my bedroom smells like wet fur and broken trust. FML

Today, I found out my girlfriend, who absolutely would never cheat on me because she’s been cheated on in the past and knows how much it hurts, has not one but two boyfriends on the side, who know about each other and do occasional threesomes. Lying bitch. FML

Today, I took my kids to the doctor. In the waiting room, a six year old boy walked up to me, punched me in the crotch, and ran away with my glasses. When the kid's parents made him give me my glasses back, he spat on them. FML

Today, I made a mosaic for my grandma out of her old crockery, after I had finished it, I found out from a neighbour that some of the plates looked like Wedgewood. So I dug through the stuff that I didn't use. It turns out the original lot would have been worth about £2000. With the stuff left, I'd be lucky to get £100. FML

Today, my house got its annual visit from a cat that lives down the street. My dogs did nothing to chase it away, and it marked its territory. I have a very sensitive nose, but I can't find where the smell is coming from for the life of me. I am also highly susceptible to migraines, and cat piss triggers them. FML
