Today, I overheard my boss and a co-worker talking about me. Apparently when I speak, I slur my words so badly that it sounds like I'm speaking in tongues. According to my boss, "he could be possessed by a demon right now, and we'd never even notice." FML

Today, I was told that a coworker of mine absolutely hates me. Why? Because sometimes I have a slight stutter, and he thinks I'm mocking his very apparent stutter. FML

Today, I was fixing something for a guy at a steel manufacturing company. His employees told me that their boss can't hear properly, so I'd have to be loud when talking to him. When I'd finished, he asked me if I normally talked like that, or if there was something wrong with me. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me in front of several customers for gesturing too much while I talk, because it's "unprofessional". I was using sign language. FML

Today, I got put in a speech impediment class because apparently I have a lisp. No, my tongue is just swollen, and I can't talk very well because of it. I've talked normally for the past 17 years. FML

Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML

Today, I got into a slight spot of shit with my new boss over his speech. Apparently he was not actually impersonating Sylvester the Cat, and he just has a speech impediment. When I jokingly said "sufferin' succotash" to him, he wasn't pleased at all. FML

Today, my boss at my new call center job said he'd gotten complaints about me. Apparently I sound "too black" and it's "upsetting" some of our customers. I don't know what that even means, but my boss said I need to "tone it down or we're gonna have some problems". FML

Communication Breakdown

Today, I was unable to communicate with a customer who only spoke French. As a result, my boss called me a "monolingual idiot." I speak Spanish, German, and Japanese. FML

That's smart. Think someone might be possessed, talk about them behind their back.

Did anyone else read this out loud and shit started to fly around their room? Just wondering if that's normal.

I don't think speaking in tongues and Latin are the same, but this was impressive. Thumbs up.

High school really does never end. Even someone as esteemed a boss partakes in petty gossip.

I swear in many offices I worked in, the bosses were the worse. People do need to grow up.

So very true. I always hate it whenever my mom talks about my friends at home over stupid things like their weight or something. Ugh X(

I'm assuming OP, that they didn't realize you heard them. Learn a little Latin. Or fake it, they probably won't know the difference and start muttering as they walk by you. OR make strange sounds and appear to also look around for where it came from :)

That's pretty ignorant. Mainly because speaking in tongues is not a sign of demonic possession, but a sign that a person has been filled with the Holy Spirit. Read your Bible, people!
