From the "yes this is real, and we wish it weren't" files: UK resident Laura Fernee, the woman with the fantastic bone structure, slender figure, and million-watt smile you see here, says she is "too pretty" to work.

After landing a job as a scientific researcher, "The Daily Mail" reports the 33-year-old was forced to quit said job due to the constant harassment she received because of her stunning looks.

"Male colleagues were only interested in me for how I looked," Fernee told "The Daily Mail." "Even when I was in a laboratory in scrubs with no makeup, they still came on to me because of my natural attractiveness. There was nothing I could do to stop it."

And, of course, Fernee said the women in the office were worse.

"They [other women] assumed because I was pretty, I was stupid, so didn't take me seriously at first and, because of their own insecurities, were jealous of my looks. Then when they realized I was very good at my job, possibly better than them, they hated me even more."

Feeling sorry for her yet? It gets worse.

Now that she's quit her job, Fernee's parents are paying for her $3,000-a-month apartment, and they're also shelling out another couple thousand a month for her credit card bills.

Man, can't this exquisitely beautiful girl catch a break?

What do you think? Is this legit or a total publicity stunt?
