Today, I got reprimanded by my boss for saying "It's a stab in the dark, though." According to him, it's a euphemism for anal sex and I was being offensive to a gay colleague, the same one who kept insisting it was no problem. I got written up anyway. FML

Today, my boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. FML

Today, I was written up at work for "leering at my boss". I'm so sorry for having my eyes sore due to lack of sleep. FML

Today, my boss put me on suspension, a week after granting a subordinate time off to recover from surgery. When I signed the paperwork, I was too embarrassed to admit I didn't understand her writing, which apparently said she was getting treated for "dangerously low levels of dick". FML

Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML

Today, I had to reprimand an employee for her bad attitude and terrible work performance. She went to HR and said I harassed her for being gay. Guess who they believed. FML

Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML

Today, I unintentionally came out as bi to my boss. He said he's fine with it and doesn't care either way, only that there is too much "gay propaganda" in the world and it shouldn't be shown and talked about so much. He also doesn't understand why I was reluctant to talk about my sexuality before. FML

Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. FML

I don't see how that could've been offensive to gay people

Your boss is not very smart. He insulted your intelligence and he insulted those who are gay. You might want to get him a thesaurus.

I'm gonna have to use that. "Baby, I'd like to stab you in the dark. ;)" ... on second thought, I don't want a restraining order..

Is it a standard for potential boss position applicants to be assholes ? FML is full FMLS of higher-ups being ignorant and/or straight out stupid ..

Some people are so open-minded that their brains fall out.

Yeah that was really insensitive considering sexual orientation shouldn't matter in the work place and it's not like you said "I'd pork him in the stink hole"!
