Today, I had to slowly explain to my boss that in some parts of the world, it's currently winter, due to the different hemispheres. He scoffed, accused me of "making shit up," and said that if I took him for a fool again, I'd be looking for a new job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my idiot of a boss yelled at me because it's physically impossible for me to be in two places at the same time, and that I'm not a magician. He didn't understand that. FML
Today, I walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". FML
Today, I'm working in China and I had to explain to my boss that no, it's not okay to not pay me for 3 months. FML
Today, I have the flu, so I called my boss to let him know I couldn't come in today. He told me to think my "lies" through better, and claimed that you can only get the flu during winter. So I guess I'm faking my pale skin, short breath, runny nose, and constant sneezing. FML
Today, I had to explain to my husband that the Earth is not flat. He didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I had to explain to a coworker that even though, yes, I’m Polish and, yes, my family’s from Poland, that, no, we’re not from The North Pole. We’re not from Antarctica either. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I had any special plans for Christmas. After I told him I was planning a trip to Canada, he snapped, "Well, you can forget it. I need you at the office." FML
Today, I've been freezing in my office for days at work. When I finally complained about it to a coworker, she led me into my office, said, "Let me show you something," then pointed out the thermostat I'd never noticed was even there and turned it up with a pitying look. FML
Today, I had to deal with yet another day of people looking at my name tag and saying "You know nothing, John Snow." with a shit-eating grin, like they're the wittiest people alive. Then I had to deal with my boss telling me to lighten up, because it's "just a joke". FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. He laughed at me and said, "That's hilarious because I was going to ask you if you could take a pay cut!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I am amazed how many people on here are idiots. They call this boss stupid without thinking for a second that he is CORRECT!! The other side of the world may be day or night, but not winter when it is summer. Seasons are controlled by earths orbit around the sun not by which side of the planet you are on. Yes, even in Alaska this would be considered their "summer".

it's not about east or west, it's about HEMISPHERES (south and north) they divide the Earth in 2 halves (by the Equator line). So in the south hemisphere is always in the opposite season to the north hemisphere... you live in the north then u r in summer (june, july, aug). Here in the south is winter right now...

Well, some parts of the world are currently in winter, but that is only because they rarely see other seasons.

Not that I'm saying you're worng for knowing that, but your boss (and many others) don't like to look like idiots. Probably best to not flaunt your intelligence around them.

I hope he never comes to Australia, we have enough of our own idiots here.

Why are idiots the ones who get high ranking positions and lots of money? Seriously, look at any politician! ¿Por que?

Isn't it fun having an ignorant boss?
