Work: Today, I was pushed off of a glacier by a very angry tourist....

Today, I was pushed off of a glacier by a very angry tourist. Why? I work as a glacier guide, and apparently some people find it overly frustrating to be informed that there isn't a café on the glacier. FML

Today, while skiing, the creepy guy controlling the chair lift said I was pretty. I was so caught off guard that I fell off. FML

Today, while going up a ski-lift I accidentally dropped my ticket. The ticket I needed at the top to come back down. I had to hike down the mountain in flip-flops. FML

Today, I went skiing. On the first run of the day, a little girl came out of nowhere and crashed into me. I was fine, but she was hurt, so I called the ski patrol. She told him that I deliberately hit her, and got me kicked out. I was there for 10 minutes. I paid for all day. FML

Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML

Today, while waiting in line for the ski lift, the lady behind me kept stepping on my skis. Annoyed, I turned around and shouted at her "Get the f*ck off my skis!" Just as the last word escaped my mouth, I noticed that my skis were crossed and it was actually me stepping on them. FML

I hate this job

Today, I forced myself into work with severe laryngitis. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, except I work at candy and ice cream store at a major tourist destination. For seven hours I had to communicate with unsympathetic adults and screaming, bratty kids by miming and using a dry erase board. FML

Today, at a ski resort, I tried to impress an attractive girl on the slopes and failed, horribly. I ended up with a mild concussion and some serious cuts after tripping, tumbling and hitting my head against the ground. I don't think she was impressed. FML

Today, someone at my workplace yelled at me and filed a complaint for staring at them too often. I'm a lifeguard. FML

Today, I was fired because a patron complained that she didn't like the way I kept staring at her kids. I was a lifeguard. FML

No cafe?! Next you're gonna say that polar bears don't actually hand out Cokes. LIES!

Next time you are at the Alamo, make sure to ask how to get to the basement.

Sounds like someone was going through a caffine withdrawl.

i work as a guide too. Some people complained to me that there's "too much" sand on the beach.

Wow. Did the ocean have too much water, too? What is wrong with people?! :-(

I'm not sure why you'd want a café up there. I bet the pace of the service would be ... glacial.

Not to mention the frosty attitude of the staff working there.

Please reread. The tourist wasn't kicked off the tour, the guide--OP--was pushed off the glacier.

I bet that wasn't covered in the "Safety For Glacier Guides" PowerPoint.

Now, I've never been around a glacier, so I can't be sure, but it sounds to me like that woman should be fined or something for pushing you. What if you couldn't swim or got hypothermia or something?
