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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

What confuses me is how DID your boss become a BOSS with that level of intellect? O_O

Hey look at the bright side OP you still have a job! But with your "smart ass mouth" as your boss put it you'll be joining many other unemployed people.

Get out while you still can!!! It isn't worth it having a retard for a boss. Hell, McDonald's workers are smarter than that. Just quit your job now!

Being in charge doesn't mean you're intelligent. But it sounds like you're Boss has a fragile ego. He'll take any criticism as a challenge to his authority. Tread lightly around this guy he only likes sycophants. I suggest changing jobs as soon as its permissible cause this guy will stagnate your growth.

That's wrong. Everyone knows the earth is a square based pyramid.

My supervisor proudly exclaimed to me that her "artist" daughters informed her that mixing black and white paints together will make grey... as if this was knowledge only acquired through being an artist... She teaches three year olds... I worry for them...
