Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML

Today, my sister tried to convince me to go to a plastic surgeon, because "Bitchface Syndrome's no joke." FML

Today, my dad, under threats of disowning me, insisted that I offer my sister a job in my company. I run my own law firm, she is a hairdresser. FML

Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML

Today, I got in an argument with my teacher for always comparing me to my sister that she had a few years before. After I said, "I'm not my sister so please stop comparing me to her," she responded, "Of course you're not your sister, I actually like your sister." FML

Face the facts

Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML

Delusional

Today, my sister has been going on and on about how sexy her new doctor is. She’s been plotting to fake an illness just to see him again. When I explained that doctors are professionals and even if he were interested it would be unethical for him to say so, she called me a fat, jealous loser. FML

Today, I got my sister to pluck my eyebrows. She shaped them wrong, so now I look constantly sad. FML

Today, my sister gave me a makeover. I protested, but she insisted it'd look great. After an eternity of eyebrow plucking, she handed me the mirror. I now have extremely badly-drawn sharpie eyebrows. FML

I've been doing hair for 10 years now and make quite a bit more money than most of my friends who have "professional" jobs. Next time you're getting your own hair done why don't you take a moment to ask your stylist about the Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Electricity classes he/she had to take before you write it off as a "worthless qualification".

First off, you can make good money in hair. Women are vain, men are vain, and everyone is willing to pay to look good. And before you write it off as worthless, why don't you cut someone's hair, and see how it turns out? While I would never go into hairdressing, I would never deem it worthless... otherwise my hair would look like crap. Second off, you should ALWAYS know what your patients work in before complaining. It avoids insulting them. Third off... your patients are NOT paying you to complain. Do your job, be cheerful, and listen to THEM complain. Fourth off... I hope your hairdresser never hears you think low of him. You may never look acceptable again.

wow you are a jerk! I never comment on these stupid things but seriously i'm offended that u would say something like this. it's not worthless education she could make more money then you can with your fancy degree. I'm studying to be a social worker but I considered becoming a hairdresser. atleast she had the guts to do what she truly wants to do with her life I bet that's more than you can say

Its pretty clear that you didn't know the patient very well, so why in the world would you demean a job, or anything for that matter in front of him/her? YDI. Don't you know everyone gets offended by everything these days anyways..

I HATE when my doctor starts talking about personal problems. I'm there because I have problems; I don't want to hear about your sister's life plans! I HATE people like you! I don't know if you're a doctor or not (sounds like it) but why would you even do this? You don't know what the person that you're doing does for a living. AJRARHHT

You deserved that. Your sister wants to do something she enjoys - you'd rather she "aim higher" for something she doesn't enjoy and get into a job where she's miserable? Not to mention your patient is paying you to fix their problem, not listen to yours. Do your job and stop whinging about your family who aren't living up to your expectations. I hope your sister complains to people about her brother who thinks she's wasting her life just coz she's doing something she enjoys.

Be thankful your sister is willing to go to school and work instead of popping out ten kids and living off welfare.

"Worthless Qualification!!" This post is insulting! It's sad people think this way. I hope your sister will do whatever it is that she loves. I LOVE doing hair and don't feel like I work a day in my life. So often we go for a job that "pays well" regardless if we love doing it. OP there are so very many things I'd like to say....but I'm remembering an old saying "...if you can't say anything nice..." Hopefully you will learn to keep certain things to yourself in the future

Careers are about passion, jobs are based on stability. If your sister or anyone else for that matter loves hair and chooses to make that their career it's not for you to judge...
