Today, at work I got told off by my manager for texting while working. Enraged by this, I proceeded to trash talk her to the new girl at work. The new girl, a.k.a. my managers daughter. FML
I agree, your life sucks (5032) - you totally deserved it (37839)

what does fail mean??
& suckss for youu. Hate too say it but........... YOU DESERVE IT!!!

@ 31: "what does fail mean?"
REALLY??
fail: to be inadequate or insufficient, to be deficient in.
In other words, the OP fucked up.

Moral of the story: be careful who you talk to.
Or, better yet, trust nobody.
Still, YDI. People who text all day under their desks instead of actually doing their job seriously irk me.

OR, Moral of the story: Don't be a child and throw a temper tantrum when you get caught doing something against the rules.
Ydi! Thts y ppl suck up to their bosses to avoid getting fired so yeah smooth
#4 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:12am by pinkpooh123
who cares if they use the word PROCEEDING? I personally like that word.
ydi for texting during work! you should be focused on work not your social life
So you go up to the new girl and drown her in your pitiful problems and sorrow without finding out anything about her?
I'm calling DOUCHEBAG.
#7 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:16am by elliebutton
Yeh i agree, wen u r new at work you can always pick out the douchbags coz they are always the first to tell the new guy how shit work it. Avoid those people!
YDI hahaha smoothe move. bet ur foot wuz in ur mouth. thts y u dont gossip with ppl u dunno.
#8 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:21am by TheAmazing
Never talk about people at work with people at work. YDI for not keeping your mouth shut and for texting when you are supposed to be working.
#9 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:27am by Evilbeagle
YDI for texting at work. When you text at work all your co-workers have to cover all your work for you. I hate covering for lazy co-workers.
that's happened to me before. cept instead of whining to some 'new girl' about it, i knew that i was in the wrong and just didn't let it happen to me again. YDI
wow way to go smarts! don't be surprised if you don't have a job after this...
#13 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:45am by softballplaya822
I still don't get what everyone's problem with "proceed" is?
#15 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:47am by PTERONOPHOBIA
Most things on the website are completely unnecessary. Proceeding is probably the least annoying of all of them.
It annoys some people because it often seems that the person posting is a brainless sheep who decided to use the word to sound more intelligent, rather than because it fits the context of the statement. Though, I'm sure some people who are jumping on the anti-proceeded bandwagon don’t actually know how to use the word properly either. Most people are sheep. Some are nice, some are not, but they're still sheep.
YDI for texting at work and thinking you can bitch to your new co-worker. Even if she wasn't your managers daughter, it makes you look like a bad and lazy worker. What are you? Sixteen?
#15/ PTERONOPHOBIA - A few pages of FMLs back, everyone used 'proceeded' in their FML, and a bunch of people got pissed. Plus, it's been used incorrectly. A lot.
#16 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:49am by redbluegreen
you better hope she doesn't have a great relationship with her mom.
#17 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:49am by BethanyKimberly
Let me translate this anecdote.
"My boss yelled at me for breaking the company's rules so out of my angsty childish nature I decided to talk shit about her for enforcing company rules, but the innocent employee I was bitching to was the boss's daughter. Like omigosh FML!!!!1!!"
you shouldn't have texted when you should have been working.
ydi.
#21 - On 06/23/2009 at 7:17am by mehwhateverr
Maybe you should try working...I know it's a pretty weird concept to work while AT work, but give it a shot!
You must really be a little b*tch if you are complaining about getting in trouble for texting while at work.
#22 - On 06/23/2009 at 7:20am by DrewSaFur1313
You shouldn't have been texting instead of working. What are you, 13?
#23 - On 06/23/2009 at 7:34am by valuemeal2
so you proceeded ugh i hate it when people use that word in FMLs it just ruins it and how did you not know that she was the managers daughter YDI for taking your anger out on someone else
#24 - On 06/23/2009 at 8:05am by ImAKlutz15
Wow, think before you act/speak/breathe much? What were you thinking?? XD
Attends, t'es d'Ile-de-France?? Tout s'explique.... XD
Wow, non-Parisian French people really do look down on Parisians! Fascinating.
#77 - On 06/23/2009 at 1:39pm by Inoku
YDI 100%
If you're being paid to work, you should work. If you can't handle that concept, there are plenty of other people to take your place. Rude people, like you, irritate me beyond belief.
Yo dawg, I heard you like to text while workin', so we put a relative of the boss in your job so you can get fired while you text.
#27 - On 06/23/2009 at 8:30am by Watchmaker
Yo dawg, I herd you like fails so we put fail in your fail so you can fail while you fail.
Get the hint? Yeah, you fucking failed. Hard.

#128 - On 06/25/2009 at 10:28am by Asdas
haha agree with #19... don't whine because you can't follow rules!
#28 - On 06/23/2009 at 8:31am by hannahleigh
Perhaps now's a good time to learn self control.
control over a texting addiction
and control over your behavior at work
#30 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:02am by were_giraffe
3 reasons why you deserved it:
1) You were texting at work
2) You complained about how someone says you text too much at work
3) You complained to someone you didn't even know
Why did people vote "Fml"?
Why do people get pissed off when people say the word proceeding. Do we have to have a 5 year old vocabulary all the time. Also YDI for texting while working, the manager had a right to tell you off, he has a business to run and he pays you to bring money in. How is he going to get money in by you texting your friend about something completely irrelevant.
#33 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:30am by Alexgoesfml
Makes me glad you don't work for me...take some responsibility and have some couth.
#34 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:33am by MommyNeedsMoreCo
dont get caught texting when your not supposed to be texting.. if you do, dont bitch about it cuz karma comes back to get people like you
#35 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:39am by thebeefzoosher
Why do that to the new chick in the first place. You're an ass and you deserved it big time. hope you got fired.
Well, you shouldn't be using a cell phone at work, anyways. It's very unprofessional. And gossipers suck. -.-"
#37 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:40am by SusanaSaysRawrxD
There is a reason why it's called WORK. Text on your own free time, which you may have plenty of in the near future.
Rule #1 - When you are being PAID to work, please work.
Rule #2 - Never, ever gossip at work with anybody, especially about the boss. It will always backfire even if it is an employee you think you can trust.
But, yeah, texting at work, come on?
#41 - On 06/23/2009 at 10:28am by Thisnametaken
YDI for texting while working. Also for being an asshole in general.
#43 - On 06/23/2009 at 10:40am by deaditegirl
I totally agree with the others that you very much so deserved this one. I am guilty at texting at work, so I am not going to yell at you for doing that......BUT you have no right to bitch for getting in trouble for doing so.
If your boss made that much of a deal about you texting, you have either gotten in trouble for it before or your boss has made it pretty clear they don't want people texting while at work.
#46 - On 06/23/2009 at 10:55am by patray_angel
I hate you, and I hope you get fired and never get another job. Fuck you
#47 - On 06/23/2009 at 11:01am by TheLizardKing
lol #14!
As for the OP... your boss told you to do your job... ZOMFG!
#48 - On 06/23/2009 at 11:02am by atomicmrpelly
zomg you got told off for BREAKING THE RULES of a job that you should consider yourself lucky to have in the first place? woooow. you have no empathy from me. grow up.
you deserve it for texting rather than doing your job. You're paid to do whatever sucky job you have, not text. I hate people like you.
#51 - On 06/23/2009 at 11:27am by collegeshmollege
She's gonna make your life hell even more than the manager, because she's in the same position as you, yet probably gets to fool around and bitch since she's the manager's daughter. If I were pathetic enough to work for someone and had no choice, I'd totally hook up with her daughter (I hope she's hot).
"wah, I got told off for breaking the rules of my workplace and not doing my work, WAHHH"
#53 - On 06/23/2009 at 11:39am by Nemephosis
I hope you got fired, and I hope the manager (and the manager's daughter) make it known to everyone in your town what kind of a "worker" you are, so you won't be able to get another job easily.
Here's a tip: responsible adults do their job while they're at work, and they don't whine and gossip like 12 year-olds. And thus they avoid situations like the one you got yourself in. See how that works?
#54 - On 06/23/2009 at 11:52am by jmgirl
Wow, you totally, TOTALLY deserved that one. I'd be surprised if you still have your job after that. Completely your own fault, and completely unprofessional/unacceptable for a workplace.
all your fault. dont text at work... and dont talk bad about the managers. i hate when ppl text because i end up doing all the god damn work and im so glad you got whats coming to you. i hope you get fired.
#59 - On 06/23/2009 at 12:04pm by iloveericmaynor
oh no! you can't text your friends for a few hours in the day! they're all going to forget about you and then you'll be like totally unpopular!!1!
i don't know if you make texting at work a habit, but just try to avoid that. you'll survive, and you will look like a more diligent worker, which, contrary to what you may think, is actually important. i feel your pain on inserting foot into mouth though..sometimes people say stuff like that when they're pissed and then regret it later.
#61 - On 06/23/2009 at 12:30pm by wingedvictorian
Moron. Leave your fucking phone off while you're at work. You don't get paid to text. I'd fire your ass for being so disrespectful.
#64 - On 06/23/2009 at 12:39pm by ZuraLasgeon
Lol sorry but u shouldn't text during work. It was just karma that the new girl was the boss's daughter.
#65 - On 06/23/2009 at 12:50pm by suckstobyou
What an infantile little snot. Too bad this didn't end in your getting fired.
#66 - On 06/23/2009 at 12:52pm by Nakedsquirrel
You were disciplined by your boss because you were doing something WRONG. You should be working, not texting. Then you whine about to another employee? You got what you deserve. You need to grow up.
#68 - On 06/23/2009 at 1:01pm by nonnymouse
You're a fucking idiot. I can't stand assholes like you that get mad at the person who catches them breaking the rules. Grow the hell up.
#70 - On 06/23/2009 at 1:06pm by Cittenscollar
YDI for texting at work. You get paid to work, not text.
#74 - On 06/23/2009 at 1:32pm by KyleOkposofan
Why the hell would you get mad for him telling you not to do that? Duh! He's paying you to work. You're probably one of those people that texts in the movie theater too.
I don't understand why people want to do "At Home" shit like Surf the web and text, at work. I don't want to associate my At home fun with work. Take your lumps, learn your lesson, get on with your life, and keep your cellphone in your damn locker.
i am the bosses daughter at my work and this just happend to us yesterday....maybe this IS about my workplace?!?!? haha, that'd be very funny in one way, and totally not in another
Why would you get mad at your boss for telling you to stop texting and do your job? You're stupid. Grow up.
flush you hear that. thats your job going down the toilet
#82 - On 06/23/2009 at 2:11pm by Funnybunny
YDI texting while working is incredibly unprofessional...I get so mad when I'm trying to order food or ask a question when I realize the employee is staring at their phone. Grow up.
#83 - On 06/23/2009 at 2:21pm by cloudkittycat
YDI. Grow up and do your damned job instead of texting at work. I hope you're fired, because seriously, that sort of thing is grounds for termination of employment in the REAL world outside your cell phone.
You fail so hard. Maybe she should fire you and see how angry you are then.
#85 - On 06/23/2009 at 2:53pm by Panicattackx5
ME TOO! I screwed up my back somehow laying in bed... I'm an active person, I get hurt a lot. But, not laying in bed...
I hope you get fired.
So your not doing your job, someone tells you too and you go throw a fit?
#91 - On 06/23/2009 at 4:18pm by bordemstirs
your not getting paid to text your getting paid to work. now qft and get back to work bitch
#96 - On 06/23/2009 at 5:34pm by Nightfallz
Maybe if you weren't such a dumb bitch and did your job instead of texting all day your stupid ass could of avoided this situation.
I'm still waiting for the part where your life is fucked. So far all I've got is that you chose the absolute wrong time and place to text, your superior rightly called you out on it, and your response is to rant about the boss to a new employee whom you know nothing about. I imagine you didn't even know her name if you didn't realize they were related...
#98 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:27pm by Escapist28
how does it feel to be completely OWNED??!! respect the workplace and shut your fucking mouth. brat.
#99 - On 06/23/2009 at 6:37pm by brandonmiller21
I would have gotten pissed at you too, if I was your boss.
YDI for not doing your job. An' then whining about it when you were obvs wrong.
#100 - On 06/23/2009 at 7:08pm by HillaryK
YDI for texting at work, you lazy shit! That's not what they're paying you to do! If it's against company policy, which it almost certainly was if you got yelled at for it, the answer is NOT to bitch back, about anything. Extra YDI for trash-talking your coworkers, regardless of who they're related to, under any circumstances. Epic fail for doing it while YOU were the one being bitched out. Coworkers like you are what make work hell.
You were ENRAGED that you got told to stop being a shitty employee when you were caught being a shitty employee? YDI, asshole.
Work is not for personal texting. While you are on the clock, don't text unless it's your break or for business purposes.
Why were you so enraged? Most places don't allow texting while working. You shouldn't trash talk your manager for pulling you up about something you're not meant to be doing. YDI
#110 - On 06/23/2009 at 10:22pm by shoegal808
I completely agree with #110. You say you got in trouble for doing something you WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO and then got mad about getting caught? Here's a simple solution - instead of being stupid about it and then complaining to the first person you see, try, oh, I don't know - doing your job and not goofing off.
#111 - On 06/23/2009 at 10:28pm by perstephane
he's right though. you shouldn't Tex at work unless it's an emergency. if you can hide and do it (Aka stocking milk in a grocery store) more credit to you, but he was right in correcting you.
I agree that the OP was in the wrong. But, to everybody telling her to grow up, have you considered that maybe she is a teenager? I started working at 15 so I know its possible. That wouldn't excuse her behaviour, but it would explain it. And if she is young then I'm inclined to think that even with this type of behaviour she is more responsible than most.
It doesn't really matter if she's teenager or not. Basically you're saying that its more responsible to get a job and spend your workdays texting with your buddies than not to get a job at all? I started working when I was 14, but I wasn't texting at work, I was working my ass off.
#119 - On 06/24/2009 at 10:11am by Asdas
Actually, yes, I am saying it is more responsible to get a job and spend your workday texting than it is to not get a job. I am pretty sure anyone would agree with me on that. I am not saying it is good workplace ethic. I am not saying she should be allowed to do that because of her age, which I may be incorrect, but am assumming is young. I am simply saying, that comparitively speaking, with the assumption she is a teenager, she is in fact more responsible than most by having a job. That said, I hope she learned her lession, so that, in time, she will become a responsible worker. Isn't that how we learn? By making mistakes and learning from them? Is there not a single moment in your life that you messed up badly and look back on and go "Oh my God, how could I have done that? Everyboy knows not to do THAT."???
I have to say you deserve that. Work is not the place for texting. What I seem to be more intrigued by is how you can complain about her to someone, without realizing that person is the boss' daughter. Did you literally just start talking your "trash talk" to her without finding out who she was? That's irresponsible. Something about this FML seems so perfectly in order, that it strikes me as being made up. And if it's not (Which we will assume for the time being) you need to be more mature and fix your own mistakes.
And can anyone comment on this forum without turning the entire discussion into hateful bashing of the poster?
Oh, and P.S., the use of the word proceeded does sound awkward in that context. It's a common theme with the "fml"ers to add that word, to make themselves sound smart.
#120 - On 06/24/2009 at 11:50am by Kris2476
The word proceeding is fine...to all the people that think it's not...your an idiot. What was he supposed to say?
On another note,
1) You were texting at work
2) You didn't know anything about the new girl...including her last name. Maybe her parents are divorced but still.
3) You dumped it all on the new girl
4) You were being a child for throwing a temper tantrum when you caught got for doing something that you weren't supposed to be doing.
#123 - On 06/24/2009 at 3:05pm by happygoluckyhh
"The word proceeding is fine...to all the people that think it's not...your an idiot."
Oh, the level of fail in this post is too strong.
#124 - On 06/24/2009 at 3:59pm by Asdas
To the person who just called us idiots, he/she should understand the difference between "your an idiot" and "you're an idiot." In not knowing that, you have made yourself a larger idiot then the people you accuse of being idiots...
If you're going to post online, make sure you check your grammar. Especially if you're trying to prove to other people that your post is worth reading.
#127 - On 06/24/2009 at 8:05pm by Kris2476
Yeah, Instead of working you were texting, while being paid. And then your boss had the nerve to get mad at you for wasting company money. He's a real bastard.
YDI. It's a job, you should do what you're told. You didn't, now you're busted. Smooth. At least you probably work at KFC or something, probably not a HOSPITAL or AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL or anywhere else where other peoples' lives are in your hands.
Ok well I'm going to say the same thing most have said, why the hell do you feel the need to text while
you are supposed to be working. I don't get or feel sorry for you. What the hell is so important to some people that they can't put down the cell phone. Texting while working means that you are getting paid to
text not the work your are being paid to do so in a sense you are stealing from your company. Grow the hell
up and quit your crying and leave the f***ing cell off when you are being PAID to WORK
