Awkward and Work: Foot, meet mouth

Foot, meet mouth

By Anonymous - 20/01/2016 02:51 - United States - Mission

Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML

Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML

Today, I went to the dentist. I got a new dentist who started out a conversation about school. She asked where I went to school and if I liked my principal. After I told her I thought he was full of himself, she said she was married to him. FML

Today, my fiancé's stepfather asked me how my teaching job was going. I replied heatedly that I've never taught, and then complained bitterly to my fiancé about how his family still doesn't know me. Turns out his stepfather has early onset dementia, and that I'm an asshole. FML

My dad, the gold digger

Today, I was telling my dad how I turned down some guy, but when I mentioned the guy's name my dad was like, “Oh, you mean the son of my old friend, studying computer engineering, genius, real future ahead of him, and you think you can do better than him? What’s wrong with you?” FML

Storage wars

Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML

Bad omen

Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML

Today, I was talking to this girl I really like at my work. Everything was going fine until our boss called me into his office. Apparently I was being a little too flirty with his daughter. FML

Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML

I recommend learning the phrase: "Yes, why do you ask?"

If he was asking about a specific teacher, it's pretty obvious that he knows the guy and that you shouldn't talk shit about him.

That is really bad luck. Maybe you should have asked him why he was wondering before insulting the professor.

"Whenever you speak, act as if the whole world is listening." In other words, don't talk shit about people unless you are courageous enough to say it to their face. But that would still make you the douche.

I disagree with that. There's nothing wrong with complaining and venting, just make sure you know your audience first

I bet you're gonna hate the son even more now. but you have it coming though.

I don't think it matters if he hates the son, I think what matters is if the son hates him.

Why would he "hate the son even more now"? He didnt hate him in the first place he just thought his father(which he didnt know was his father) was a crappy teacher

I think she means "even more than his father", I guess

Plot twist. This guy actually hates his father and wants OP to help plan the murder.

A classic. Anytime they ask you if you know someone, you have to ask something like "you know him?", "you had him as a teacher too?" or anything that can give you an idea of what the person will think about it.
