Today, while at work, my ex-boyfriend came in. I pretended not to see him, hoping he would just pass on by. No such luck. He stopped to tell me that he was there for orientation. My company hired him. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my manager mentioned that she'd hired a "cute boy" to help me out at work with paperwork. The "cute boy" was my ex-fiancé and now I have to be with him in an office for 30 some hours a week while his current fiancée brings him lunch everyday. FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I was at work when my ex and his girlfriend came in. She went on to claim that I was excited when I saw him… but I was actually happy because my shift was ending in 5 minutes. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to visit me at work. With another girl. FML
Today, I found out my boss hired literally the only person in this town who is an ex-boyfriend. I also work with my current boyfriend. FML
Today, I was working my shift and my ex girlfriend came in to apply for a job. She broke up with me for another guy so i can't stand being in the same room as her. The manager talked to her and decided to hire her on the spot. I need to train her. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's work to surprise him. When I got there, I called him on his phone to tell him to turn around. I saw him look at his phone. His co-worker next to him asked who that was. He replied, "Just this fat chick I know." FML
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend, who I thought was finally out of my life for good, is now dating my new manager. FML
Today, I met my ex's new boyfriend. I was at work, cashiering at the movie theater that they were apparently having their first date at. We broke up less than 24 hours ago. FML
Today, I went into the store where my boyfriend works. I saw him talking to a customer, his back was facing me, so I went up and smacked his butt. Turns out it wasn't him. FML

It sounds like since he stopped to talk to you, you're at least on fairly good terms. Maybe you could at least become decent friends again someday

Just be lucky you have a job, unemployment is high

You can't escape from your past, OP. It's called Karma and it's got you now!
rahulcool7 14
Who said OP ever did anything bad to him, we don't know if she deserves this.
Bliss391 7
No where in this fml does it say anything that would suggest that she did anything wrong in their relationship to cause karma to come and get her.
ihaveasushicat 24
Obviously something happened in their relationship to where she doesn't want to see him again. And even if OP did do something to her ex, she still doesn't want to see him and especially work with him, or this wouldn't have been an FML.

Karma has nothing to do with one's current life. So many ignorant people throwing the word around... it affects what happens when you die.
maosquare 18
No, 35, I'm quite certain karma applies to the current life too hence making your comment rather ironic.
MuseFan1991 14
19- im fairly certain what happened in their past was that they broke up. speaking from personal experience, bumping into an ex is awkward regardless of how you broke up. OP was probably just trying to diffuse the situation
wallandpiece 16
I'm fairly certain karma isn't real.

I'm sorry, OP, that sucks!
Docbee 11
"I agree, your life sucks." No need to rephrase such a wonderful sentence.

Honestly I think he got the job to be around you. I mean he knew where you worked (assuming since y'all dated)... So for him to get the same job kind of makes me think he's not over you.
makkarari 18
^i was thinking the same thing
guy24 9
So... You own a company?
VannahJane 17
No, the same company OP works for hired her boyfriend
HowieDoIt 21
He's just saying that it's not as though she owns the company. They're both allowed to work there even if it's awkward
guy24 9
I'm not serious. Just pointing out that someone could figure that because she said "My company."
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
11- that's a cool pic.. Even could be an awesome tattoo!
FlyingPie 17
It's funny that some people say they weren't serious only after they start getting some negative feedback on their comment. Maybe she does own the company. But so what? That's not entirely relevant, and if you chose to nitpick on that detail, I think you missed the point of this FML. Also, FML only allows the stories to be up to 300 characters, so sometimes there isn't enough room to phrase things in the best way possible.
gc327072 30
Yea, "the company I work at" was probably too long.
danial1214 21
This FML was 200 characters...
VannahJane 17
Did you really count how many characters there were?
NickaPLZ 26
Ah well, better get used to him again. Or quit.
Lionesse 15
Why does the OP have to quit. She was there first. That's stupid and pointless advice. She shouldn't quit because it solves nothing.
SystemofaBlink41 27
Well TECHNICALLY it does solve the problem of seeing his face...
gracehi 31
34, I don't think he was suggesting that she quit her job, but pointing out that those are her only two options.

Lesson #1 The boss likes NyQuil in his/her/its coffee because it's sweet.
Ultimate_No 7
I fail to see how putting the boss to sleep will do anything to solve OP's problem.

pickles1994 18
Exactly, have to be thankful for what you got. Things can always be worst OP.
mangoboy1 19
Well, atleast you have a job?
aliciaanomalyyxo 12
Grow up, you can't erase your past just deal with it. If it that big a deal find a new job...
Enslaved 36
I would think people break up because-- they no longer want to see/deal with their ex. Yes, the OP could remain civil but that doesn't mean seeing that person every day, (perhaps 40 plus hours a week) is what anyone would want. And finding another job might not be as easy as you make it out to be. :P

Have fun with that.
