Today, I work on a cruise ship, and I just learned that we have a morgue on board. How did I learn that? It's right next to the crew laundry room, and I opened the wrong door. It was occupied. FML

Today, at my job as a hotel housekeeper, I accidentally entered the room of someone who hadn't left yet. To my horror, the man inside was having a massive heart attack. I just found out he passed away, despite immediate medical intervention. FML

Lav agent

Today, I was assigned to empty the lavatory tank on an airplane. I haven't done this since February, when the contents ended up all over me. I thought to myself, "It can't happen again, can it?" I was wrong. FML

Today, I was at work at the airport. I got called up to a plane's cargo hold, and thought I'd finally learn how to use the loader. Turns out they just needed me to weigh something down, effectively making me ballast. Then my boss told me to get the hell off, after which I hit my head hard climbing out. FML

Today, at work, the chest freezer was accidentally turned off. I work at a vet and the freezer is our morgue. It got opened before anyone realized the contents had thawed. FML

Today, I found out that for the past 6 months I have been sleeping next to a dead body. The cremated body of my landlord's father. It was hidden inside a wardrobe that I was not supposed to use. FML

Today, I boarded my very first cruise, in order to relax and unwind for week-long vacation. However, when I got on the ship, I found out that I get seasick REALLY easily. FML

Today, while at work, I went to unlock the washroom for a customer. Normally we don't allow customers to use the staff washrooms, so I was as surprised as the guy I found sitting on the toilet when I opened the door. FML

What kind of cruise ship is this?!

To the people asking why there's a morgue. A cruise is in the middle of the sea. If someone dies suddenly, what are they going to do with the body until they get back to port? It's sensible to have one!

I guess the sign they put outside the door, "dead-end" was to be taken literally. I'd be mortified! I'll show myself out.

It's better than storing dead bodies in the kitchen's freezer

Hey, what's wrong with that? It keeps the bodies longer AND helps keep the smell at bay. Win-win right there.

"Today, I work on a cruise ship." ... wait, what? Other than that grammatical error, that's so creepy!

Every FML starts with "Today," probably wasn't the OP's fault. Most likely was put there automatically.

samasara 20

Yes, but OP could have easily worked around it. For example, "Today, while at work on a cruise ship, I learned we have a morgue on board"

Would you rather they stored the dead bodies in the ice cream freezer? Next ship your on try showing up on time for the staff orientation.

It actually makes sense. People die just about everywhere, and the only other option would be to store the deceased in the freezer. Or dump them in the ocean, but somehow I think people would be a tad bit upset about that.
