Today, I found out that aside from being savagely overworked and treated like shit for zero pay, another one of my responsibilities as an intern is to take the blame for my boss accidentally posting a link to a porn site on the company's Twitter account. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML

Today, my boss was using my computer and tried to copy and paste a website URL. It must not have copied first, because it pasted a URL to a porn site. I think I should start looking for a new job. FML

Today, my boss bitched me out for violating workplace privacy, after he found an FML post from last year that eerily resembled a situation that happened the same year. He thought I posted it and twisted things to make him look like an idiot. I've never posted here in my life. FML

Today, my boss fired me because someone hacked our website and replaced pictures of our products with furry porn (don’t Google it, it’s weird as fuck). We don’t have an IT department, but since I spend the most time on the computer controlling stock and purchases, he blamed me instead. FML

Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML

Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML

Today, I found out my boss and some employees on my floor have bets placed on who can get the best picture of my ass. I found out when one of the pictures was accidentally sent to me. FML

That's not right, you should report him

Do NOT take the blame. If you need, video document what's going on as proof, or continue to document what happens next as further evidence that you were not involved. If I were you I would cease the internship as soon as possible. Report him ASAP and try and find colleagues who will back your story.

You're completely missing the biggest lesson of your internship here. Never take the blame. Your boss is showing you that you can be a totally incompetent prick and still be a boss if you can find some idiot to pass the blame to. I suggest pinning it right on his chest.

How do you accidentally send a tweet? Don't you have to go into the draft, write your tweet and then click tweet? Doesn't seem like an accident. FYL

Please don't be the fall guy for this dirty bastard! Go to his superior and get his balls nailed to the wall. Just because you are an intern, you still have a record to protect for future employment. Do you want that on your record? This is not the time to tuck YOUR balls.
