Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. FML
Today, I gave my boss a nickname. Everyone thought it was funny. Unfortunately, "The Troll" was behind me and heard everything. FML
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML
Today, one of my coworkers decided it'd be funny to tell our boss that I made creepy comments about his teenage daughter. The worst part is that the aforementioned lying coworker is my mother. I wish I was joking. FML
Today, I found out my boss likes to shit talk about me when I'm not around. The best part is that I don't know what I've done to piss him off. FML
Today, my boss chewed me out for leaving a work function early. I explained it was to avoid a former co-worker I constantly fought with. The boss revealed he purposely invited that former co-worker, hoping our fight would provide entertainment. FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

**** your co workers life for having to deal with y'all, come on be a little more professional when you're at work rather than tell jokes about a fellow co worker

Pretend he told you the joke, claim harassment and teach him a lesson.

That should be easy since the boss is taking credit for the joke

You're all horrible to me. I don't care if y'all hate him/her. Slightly rude or not it's not OK to make fun of a coworker. You got a problem with her/him? Don't get close them and concentrate on work when they're near. That's next to bullying in my book.

Put on your big kid pants and ignore them. If they're really that bad then report them to HR.

Your boss sounds like he sucks.

So what? If the person it's about hears it he will be pissed at your boss not you

Exactly! I guess OP would rather be an overt asshole rather than a covert one.

Precisely, now op should just tell the co worker about the joke the boss 'created'

There's always a Jerry. I feel kinda bad about your coworker, but Parks and Rec taught me better

If it was a rude joke at the expense of someone else, why would you want the credit? It's really hard to sympathize with stupidity.

Ask your boss if their back hurts from lifting your material.

You made a rude joke about a co-worker everyone hates? Sounds like a bit of bullying going on. For the boss to spread it around is really unfortunate. I feel more sorry for the hated-on co-worker than you at this point.
