Today, I found out that my boss plays a trick on all the interns. He calls you to his office, then leaves you waiting outside until you get annoyed and leave. Apparently, the old record was 45mins. I waited 4 hours. FML
I agree, your life sucks (29395) - you totally deserved it (6642)

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
maybe if she fucked him, he might not have fired her.

He needs to defend his title now. You know how competitive interns get.

Wow. You're cool. Seriously, think about it. There's one way for her to keep her job. ;)

#6, kindly force your foot down your throat, please.
Agreed with #1, it shows dedication. Plus you got out of work for four hours :D

FYL, at least you were responsible enough to wait. Still, you should have thought something was wrong after the first 20 minutes or so and talked to him. Four hours is a looong time.

How is that even possible? I'd last maybe 15 mins and then leave him a note that I was there. Wouldn't you get screwed since you're not doing actual work? Idk, YDI.
Congratulations! You are going to be the office bitch from now on!

at least you got paid to sit around... and you broke a record!

cuz she was too dumb to leave and stood there all that time like an idiot

Maybe he'll see how dedicated you are and give you a huge raise or something xD
YDI, sorta, but still, that's probably something I'd do too. Don't worry, you're not alone!

If you got paid for sitting around, there isn't a problem. Lol.
Though, that sucks. As another poster said, hopefully he'll see the dedication in you.
Today, I called one of my interns into my office. I play a joke on them on who can wait the longest, and this intern waited four hours to leave. This caused me unable to eat lunch.

That wouldnt be an fml. If you did that to an employee it would be a ydi. All you would have to do is go out there and say never mind i got it taken care of our something. Or just ask them how they were liking the company. You would be an idiot if you missed your munch trying to prank someone. Kind of reminds me of the fml of the guy who stole lunches and was greeted by a dog food samdiwch.
Welcome to Dunder Mifflin! You are Michael Scott's new bitch!

Wow, your boss sounds like a real douche, lol. How professional is that? You must be pissed for wasting so much time. On the bright side, it's better to be safe than sorry right? Who knew he'd be kidding around.

sorry i was gone! i was having an epic weekend that removed me from my computer's presence. and then a cumload of hw last night

The old record was set before iPhones were invented. The new record will soon reach into days and weeks, because someone will sit there all day if they're being paid and they have something to keep them occupied.
Your boss is a moron.

At least they know treating someone like that is a prank - in some companies there wouldn't be a punchline. You might want to stick around.
And to previous posters - interns don't get paid, duh.
Wow, while I'm sure he now knows your dedicated, I'm pretty sure somewhere in that four hour period something should have told you to either try back at another time or that he was just messing with you.
#59 - On 09/16/2009 at 1:54am by feed_the_ducks
Uhhh... A) it was a man, B) he didn't get fired.
Are you seriously this fucking retarded? I mean, c'mon.. how do you manage to breathe?
And the stupid award goes to...............................

thats dedication right there ... they know you are for reals
#71 - On 09/16/2009 at 10:35am by sjbartholome
What idiot stands around for four hours? Why didn't you just go straight in after waiting a long while?
And why didn't you knock on his door? And then leave if he didn't answer and send him an email attempting to reschedule? That is what I do when my boss is holed up in his office and I have an appointment with him. YDI.
thats actually really, really funny.
four fucking hours? lmao
#76 - On 09/16/2009 at 2:51pm by fosizzlemynizzlE
how funny!! lol.. poor thing was waiting there probably looking around..how sad!!!
#77 - On 09/16/2009 at 3:44pm by kittenmeow
hmm. not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. good thing because it shows dedication. possibly bad, because the boss could look at it like "you wasted 4 hours of the day doing nothing" lol
good luck in your intern though
#80 - On 09/16/2009 at 10:46pm by roadrunner189
no 84, he's NOT getting paid to do NOTHING, interns don't get paid, which is pretty retarded
