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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

We get Christmas vacation for longer because it's the end of the school year.

Some people just can't stand it when others are smarter than them.

It's summer in the Eastern Hemisphere, just like it's summer here in the Western Hemisphere. You're pretty funny, but don't **** around at work. Save your April Fool's pranks for your drinking buddies.

No shit. However in the southern half of the world, the Southern Hemisphere if you will, it is currently winter.

I just lost all respect for you, perdix. That was just... Wrong. You're wrong. So very wrong.

#103, that's sad, but my readers lost all respect for you because they saw that you foolishly fell for my joke. I know all about the Northern/Southern Hemisphere difference in seasons. I was just trying to be funny by considering the world as being divided into Eastern and Western ones instead. How dumb do you think I am?

#151, no, it seemed that you thought I was an idiot.

Thanks to this thread, I was entertained.

#154, of course I do not think you're an idiot, I practically worship your comments. I'll try to be more obvious about my sarcasm next time.

It's this simple fact that makes me wonder if South American calendars have snowmen pictures for July...

Haha where I live, it's hard to believe it's even hot in other places of the world!
