Today, at on-the-job etiquette training, I was asked to leave the room for being disrespectful. Why? The trainer said that women should not dress as if they were looking for a man at work. I dared to suggest that this should not be part of etiquette training. FML

You're wrong about that. Appropriate dress goes hand-in-hand with job performance for many businesses, and your trainer was right to call you out on it. If you'd listened to the one person who knew what they were talking about, you wouldn't have this problem.

If your appearance is giving off an "I'm looking to seduce someone" vibe, you ARE disrespecting the company. It's considered unprofessional in the workforce to show cleavage and have very short shorts or skirt. Every job has a dress code, and it is your responsibility to follow it. YDI

In today's world I'm honestly a little surprised that that doesn't count as sexual harrassment

Today, I was working Customer Service at Walmart. An elderly lady came to my register to return a pair of white pants. I asked her what was wrong with them and she replied, "Even when I had underwear on you could still see my pubic hair." The pants had hair on them. FML

Today, my husband convinced me to donate all the sentimental items around our house, like the kids' old toys. Now I feel absolutely gutted, like we gave away tons of our family history, but everyone else is so happy that things are less cluttered, so I just play along. I feel so empty. FML

Today, I finally got a promotion at work. Today I also found out that no matter how long I work, no matter how much effort and unpaid overtime I put in for 6 years, my coworkers will be convinced I only got promoted because I'm the CFO's son. FML

Today, my girlfriend saw the name "Melissa" on my phone's contact list. After refusing to tell her who it was, she accused me of being a cheater, broke up with me and stormed out of my house. Melissa is the name of a woman from Craigslist who was going to sell me an antique engagement ring. FML

Today, I was sent to the front office for having blood shot eyes and smelling like smoke. I just didn't get enough sleep and had trouble putting my contacts in, and I always smell like smoke because of my parents' excessive smoking. They didn't believe me. My parents had to come in to back me up. FML

Today, I fell off my desk chair. Why? I failed to notice that the screws I'd been finding on the floor around my room for the past few months belonged to said chair. FML

Today, I was at a very important meeting with a client and I had to use the bathroom. I was so nervous that I squirted white soap all up my suit jacket. My client walked in and commented on my "jizzy" blazer. FML
