Today, my boss told me he suspected his wife was cheating on him. I told him to pull up her Facebook page to look for suspicious activity. I looked at her profile picture and said, "Damn, that girl next to her fine! You know her?" It was his sixteen year old daughter. FML
I agree, your life sucks (3636) - you totally deserved it (18352)

(0)Not really an FML... depending on what kind of person your boss is, he could take it as a compliment or just laugh it off. If he's really worried about his wife cheating on him, I don't think he will dwell on your stupid comment for long.
(+2)"Hahaha.. I know she's your daughter. Just trying to lighten up the situation, sir. You should have seen the look on your face! Now, click on her wall."

(+1)Oh and in yourdefense, i have a friend from Ohio who just turned 17. I've known her since she was 12-ish.
She grew up very rapidly and beautifully.
Whatever you guys are feeding them is working =P You should have sent that to the girls in my area when i was in high school..

(0)that's smart. that of course would have covered up his comment

(0)Dumb!
Your advice was ridiculous too! Who in their right mind would try to get away with "cheating" via Facebook?

(0)YDI for thinking that speaking ebonics at the workplace, in front of your boss nonetheless, was a good idea.
(+1)The way I see it? Your boss is close enough to you to tell you about his personal life, he is not going to be bothered by that comment. Just go with it.
(0)No, if you read my comment that is a few comments above yours, you'll see I mentioned something about ebonics.
(+2)If (when) he gets mad, tell him "We're both human."

(0)This is a throwback to about a month old FML for those that don't know. Not trying to take credit for that piece of wisdom.
#7 - On 02/27/2010 at 6:22am by Fedor_is_KING
(0)damn lol how is that inconsiderate? ppl tofay are so paranoid about being politically correct and bullshit lk that. come on i mean how is it inconsiderate to say a girl is hot?

(-1)"wow boss, that 16 year old on your friends list is sexy! I wanna 'do' her! Good thing she's not your daughter or anything!"
(0)actually it was his wife's profile picture he saw her in, but that should be more of a give away lol. unless the boss' wife hangs out with a young crowd
(0)haha! that's a fail. hope you didn't get fired OP. after all you were trying to help him find out if his wife was cheating on him.
#11 - On 02/27/2010 at 6:35am by adriiana1019
(0)Touché. But his daughter would still be on his frends list, unless she's estranged. And then she probably wouldn't be in the moms profile pic.
Unless.......
Lesbian incest cheating.
"Hey, I'll cheat on my hubby for my daughter!"
(+1)Oh no you complemented his daughter! *slaps hand to face* mama MIA

(-1)YDI for saying something,without IDing the target!

(0)I don't see how this is an FML for you....I'd think i'd be f his life
#22 - On 02/27/2010 at 7:25am by stacestaceoox
(-1)Wow, I'm tired. I thought the FML said the boss said all that about his daughter, to his employee. xD
OP, FYL and YDI both. You shouldn't say anything about someone else, as whenever you say something outrageous like that, they always seem to be related. Nevertheless, FYL because how could you have known?

(0)heey , what is OP ?
I feeel dumb for asking that !
hahaa

(0)"Woah great, maybe you could hook us up? She is a little too old for my liking *nudge*, but I can make an exception".
Y'know, just to break the tension.

(+1)I don't see how this is an fml.
just do what I do and improvise the fuck out of your situation and work with what you have. when he said that's my daughter, you should of been like you should be very proud. problem solved :)
#35 - On 02/27/2010 at 8:53am by music_METAL
(0)I can sorta see how he'd suspect her of cheating. If their daughter is that pretty, maybe she's putting a pic up with her to attract men...or women. At the same time, maybe she just really loves her daughter.
Either way, don't state your opinion when people show you pictures.
(0)I fail to see why the daughter being in the picture has anything to do with his suspicion of his wife. 'Date me, I'm old enough to have a hot daughter' = one million miles from most womens approach to attracting men.
#40 - On 02/27/2010 at 9:19am by letmeinplease
(0)A lot of women (and sometimes men) take profile pictures with prettier women in them. This way a guy might try to flirt with her, thinking (or just hoping) that the profile belongs to the pretty one.
(+1)Yeah but usually not with their daughters. And though it's not stated, if he suspects her of cheating, he's likely to already have a candidate in mind, so she wouldn't want to put up a photo where someone looked hotter than her. Also finally, she probably looks like her daughter, so putting up a picture with her would just highlight how old she is if she were just trying to pick up some guy off facebook.
If anything, the photo with her daughter just makes her seem less likely to be a cheater.
#49 - On 02/27/2010 at 9:53am by letmeinplease
(0)Wow. Just wow, OP. Leaving aside that she was his daughter, how does this scenario run for you?
Today, I confided in a trusted employee that I suspected my beloved wife of many years and mother of my child was cheating on me. When I asked him if he could help me look at the evidence, he jovially treated my trauma as a dating opportunity. FML
Even without it being his daughter (which, c'mon, EASY to work out), you sound like an insensitive douche. There goes your promotion.
#42 - On 02/27/2010 at 9:30am by letmeinplease
(+1)The sad thing about this is they were actually looking for evidence of cheating on a social networking site. Did they think the wife would tag herself in a picture with another man, and the caption would read, "doggystyle?"? Would his wife change her status to, "Hubby lasted five minutes last night. Hopefully, Leroy can beat his record this morning."
What's even more sad is that she probably would leave evidence on her Facebook.
(0)OP, I wouldn't worry too much about the compliment you gave his daughter unless your boss' name is Chris Hansen. Besides, because of all the growth hormones being put in our milk, it's getting harder to tell the difference between a teenager and a grown woman.
(0)I don't think it was appropriate of your boss to tell you that in the first place. I am a great believer in keeping the boundary between work and home. I was once in the awful position of being expected to be a free therapist for a boss whose behavior outside of work was nothing I could approve of or condone. I try not to do that to anyone I work with or for or over. We all have our problems, and mine aren't their responsibility.
I also don't think you were inappropriate. You had no way of knowing she was his daughter. Even if you had, your compliment was not trashy, vulgar, or sexist. I don't see anything for you to be embarrassed about.
(0)I didn't see my comment appear and rewrote it. It won't let me delete it unless I write something else in the box.
(0)So now you know to ask, "Do you know the girl next to her?" first. Then you'd know to say something more appropriate and not sound like a douchey horndog.

(0)Or, maybe instead on going on fml all day, you can go out and actually bolster the economy. I like that one better.
(0)"that girl next to her fine"
what have we got her? a pedo caveman?
#54 - On 02/27/2010 at 11:50am by omgshaylaaa
(0)Same thing happened to me. We were sitting in the coffee shop looking at pictures taken at a local race track driving school and came to a picture of a good looking girl getting out of one of the cars. No sooner did the pic come up and a evesdropping, pedo, toofless, hillbilly fuck says I hope you got a ride on that too. It was my 16yr old daughter. Funny, he stopped coming to the coffee shop when I was due in, wonder if it was something I said.
#55 - On 02/27/2010 at 11:54am by CallMeHush
(0)At least you didn't say that his daughter was ugly.
#70 - On 02/27/2010 at 3:35pm by imperfectclarity
(0)ydi principally for using horrendous grammar talking to your boss, but also for letting your boss know that you routinely check facebook at work. Oh, and for telling him you want to get with his daughter based solely on her looks.
You stay classy, San Diego.
(0)stupid bitches callin ppl "ghetto retards" STFU...y'all stop acting like y'all r supreme :/
#82 - On 02/27/2010 at 10:38pm by bliingblurr
(0)I'm surprised that the OP had a job. Notice I said "had." Anyway, How could you not know that the young looking girl standing right by his wife was his daughter?!?

(0)This seems like something that would happen on The Office.

(0)If you trusts you enough to confide his suspicions in you, he'd probly just shake if off.
#92 - On 02/28/2010 at 9:33pm by BeatNik169
(0)what's wrong with someone acknowledging that your daughter looks good? that's a good thing isn't it?
