Today, I tried to drown out the petulant whining of my idiot coworker as he droned on and on about how, “bitches don’t appreciate good men.” He’s 35, lives at home, still uses the term 'friendzone' and has the hygiene of a sewer-dwelling ogre. I was written up for for snapping and yelling at him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML
Today, yet again, my boss whined to me like a baby over being "friend-zoned" by his secretary. Not only does he basically stalk her and make her eat lunch with him every day, she's a lesbian in a committed relationship. He suspended me after I lost it and told him to see a fucking therapist. FML
Today, my husband typed in my work Teams Chat, “FUCK THIS JOB I QUIT” while I was away from my desk. All this because he’s still jealous of my and a male coworker’s friendship. I was terminated. He showed no remorse for what he did and told me to find another job where I won’t “slut around.” FML
Today, I finally had enough of my coworker mocking and misgendering my transgender daughter, so I screamed at him. I got written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks. He got praise from our boss for handling the situation with class. FML
Today, I nearly got written up for "publicly humiliating" a coworker. All because I left a note in the restroom asking whoever keeps peeing all over the floor to please be considerate of other people. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, my sexist, misogynistic boss showed me a new program we all have to use. After several minutes of him explaining it badly and belittling me for doing it wrong, I opened a sub-folder that showed that I CREATED THE PROGRAM. He walked away, then later wrote me up for "having a bad attitude." FML
Today, my disgusting coworker made a comment about "women versus accountability" and I couldn't even yell at him for being a sexist scumbucket, because my wife threw coffee at me yesterday for pointing out that she'd left the chips open and they went stale. FML
Today, half of my office urged me to file a complaint against a coworker for aggressive behaviour, so I did. Less than 24 hours later, HR gave him a real dressing down and the whole office turned against me for ratting on him to management. FML
Today, the momma's boy I was getting to know cried when I said we should just be friends. He said I was being added to the list of people who treat him like shit and verbally abuse him. He has bad hygiene, musty, wears dirty clothes and I taught him how to properly clean a toilet. But I’m the bitch. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

his usage of the word "bitches" is definitely a sign of him being a good man /s

Refer him to "incel" chat rooms where he can commiserate with other losers.

"From the look of you, I wonder if you knew what a 'good man' was. Because right now you look like you need to work your way up to MEDIOCRE."

I mean, snapping and yelling at him REGARDLESS of his stupidity, life situation, maturity level, and gross-ness is still wrong, so you deserve this. However, perhaps next time you should report him for inappropriate conversation/misogynistic comments? Record him doing it too. Just casually pull your phone out like you got a text or something, start recoding with any free app, and there you go. Be sure you say his name at some point too that he responds to. He likely won't be a coworker for long.

That’s pretty black and white thinking. I’m sure OP doesn’t go around yelling/snapping at people. Yelling/snapping at people is not always “wrong”. Context matters, a LOT! Is it always helpful? No. But sometimes it can be. I don’t know enough about the dialogue so can’t say if OP deserves it or not. But your first paragraph is too rigid.

I never suggested OP went around snapping and yelling at people. THEY said they snapped and yelled. Which I'll state again, is wrong regardless of the situation at hand.

OP, the old saying is “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” Yes, coworker was a jerk and an idiot. Had you reported them to your supervisor, he might have been the one written up. Remember that in the future. Yelling in the work place never solves anything (or nearly anyplace else). Have you ever tried politely telling coworker that you don’t want to hear his complaints. If not try it. If idiot boy persists, just get up and walk away. Then when you are calm report him to your supervisor. It’s the supervisor’s job to make sure that work gets done.

I wonder what these downvotes are thinking.

He's obviously not a good guy, but the "friendzone" is most certainly a real thing.

He may be flawed but that doesn't make kicking him while he's down any more appropriate.

I hope he continues to grow old and alone. You expect that kind of mentality out of 13 year old edgy boys
