Love: Today, I confessed to my co-worker that I've secretly loved him...

By Alanis - 21/07/2012 01:59 - United States

Today, I confessed to my co-worker that I've secretly loved him for months. He laughed hysterically for about a minute straight before shaking his head and excusing himself from the store. Even the fact that my boss fired him for leaving early isn't cheering me up. FML

Today, after working at my job for months, I quit. Why? My boss tried to convince me that we are in a secret relationship, after he told me he loved me. FML

Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML

Today, just a few minutes after I got to work, my usually laconic boss came into my office and said, "Pack your stuff and get the f*ck out." Apparently, half my department was being downsized. Thinking it was an April Fool's, I burst out laughing and told him how funny the prank was. He wasn't kidding. FML

Today, at work I wrote up my boyfriend (whom I've been secretly dating, because I'm his supervisor) for being $40 short on his register. Our policy is to write up anyone short over $10. He got mad and told my boss we're dating, and I was instantly fired. Then I got dumped for being a "tattle-tale". FML

Laughing on his part was wrong. But really, why are people confessing love to coworkers especially if they are unsure if the feelings are mutual. It puts both of you in a real awkward position. IMO, telling someone you like them or asking them on a casual date is way more appropriate then confessing love. That comes off real intense and many people don't know how to react.

If only someone posted: Today, I was confronted by my co-worker, whom I secretly been in love with, and she confessed her love for me. Getting extremely psyched up, I started laughing uncontrollably, so I decided to go outside for fresh air. My boss then fired me for 'leaving my job early.'

I think your co-worker should write a FML...

If you didn't know him well enough to know he'd laugh at you you probably didn't know him well enough to love him. What did you expect? You've never gone on a date with him, he didn't even know you were remotely interested until you proclaimed love. Did you read that FML awhile back about the creepy homeless man who'd been watching that lady for awhile and then proclaimed love out of the blue? You're only a little better than that creepy homeless due to actually working with the guy. Yes, it hurts to have your feelings laughed at, but it's also scary and creepy to have someone suddenly proclaim love with no warning. Next time start slow with a "Hey, I have a bit of a crush on you" or "Want to go out for coffee some time?". Not "Hey, can you take a look at these number. By the way...I LOVE YOU! I'VE BEEN WATCHING AND LOVING YOU FOR MONTHS! LOVE ME BACK!"
