Today, I went with my sister to her company Christmas party. They had a gift raffle, my number was called and I won $25 for a local restaurant. A few moments later, the manager came over and said, "You don't work here? You can't have that" and took it from me. FML

And the problem with pretending it belonged to your sister was...?

I would think they would've told you that before you entered the raffle.

Today, I went to my company Christmas party. There was a gift raffle and the person who won was the d-bag relative of someone else. I was in line behind them and would have had that ticket. FML. There you go. A glimpse into what the person that rightfully would have won might have felt. It wasn't your company party. You probably got free food. Be happy with that.

Oh, okay #16. You have shown me the error of my ways and I retract my opinion.

I agree, it was a company raffle, you should squeeze benefits from your own job, not your sister's. she works there not you. you only won because your sister brought you in anyways so you really should have either given it to your sister or not entered in at all.

Well duh, how would you have felt if you were an employee and someone who doesn't even work there gets a prize. Plus, it's not that big of a big prize. Would it have been about hundreds of dollars, then FYL. Now, YDI for thinking you deserved that prize. ;)

It's **** My Life, not My Life is ******. I would have to agree this is a stupid FML nonetheless. (<- It's a word.)

It's an understandable mistake though, what with the title of the website and all.

they should have had some kind of notice or something. or just not allow you to enter. it'd be smarter to have a sign that says only employees may enter, instead of walking up and taking back the prize after he won it, possibly looking like an asshole in the process

Why would they need a notice at a company party? How often do you think people off the street manage to make their way in? They have no reason to believe that the guests are anyone except employees and spouses of employees.

Umm. most company Christmas parties are for the employees and their families. Husbands take wives, wives take their husbands, people take their children, that kind of thing. I would imagine that since the OP went with their sister then their sister was probably told that it was ok and possibly encouraged even to bring family members. Therefore if the raffle is only for the people who actually work there, they should have a notice that only employees may enter.

I'd say everyone got a plus one to bring. Just because OP was a sister not a spouse doesn't mean she should be not allowed win...
