Today, my boss called me in to have a serious talk. The "serious talk" was him asking me to notify him of my menstrual cycle ahead of time so he can "avoid that shit". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss made me cover for him by working two extra hours, because he had to rush home early to deal with an "emergency". The emergency was taking a shit, because he claims to have a phobia of doing them anywhere but at home. FML
Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML
Today, my boyfriend is threatening to dump me if I don’t give him all the details of my menstruation so he can track my periods with an app on his phone. FML
Today, my boss threw a pre-Christmas party at work. He always uses them to rant at us and tell us to be better employees. When the speech began, the alarm I have set for my daily birth control went off. It's the sound of an obnoxious screaming child. FML
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my boss recognized my shoes under the stall wall and had a conversation with me while we were both taking a dump. I had severe diarrhea. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, my boss sent me to a meeting with a client I've never met to do some damage control and renegotiate his contract. For two hours, he alternated between threatening to sue us, and making vulgar comments about raping me in his office. FML

I'd consider that sexual harassment. That's way too ******* personal.

well atleast the serious talk wasn't about your boss firing you and who knows why your boss asked you maybe your boss was just trying to know so he can keep away from you when you are.

first he shouldn't ask you that. second why is he asking you that? if you become a raging psycho during your period then why don't they just fire you?

Go to HR. He was being completely unprofessional.

I mean if he gives you a week of paid vacation every month then you could use that to your benefit

1: Please tell me you went straight to HR and complained. 2: Might want to be aware of your attitude around the office. If your boss, as uneducated and crass as he appears to be, sees you act horrible out of nowhere, while he may be wrong in assuming it's hormones, it still doesn't excuse any behavior YOU exhibited.

My other thought on this is my own Boss does a similar thing. My boss is female, and so are most of the employees in my department. Ms.Boss likes to claim that bad attitudes are due to "Shark Week" aka: hormone week. I roll my eyes every time she does it, b/c not only is that falsely assuming all the ladies are synched, it's excusing shitty behavior that she needs to be making people be accountable for (including herself) instead of excusing it.

Going to the other end of the spectrum, did you ever consider that he was trying to be considerate and tried to give you space on those times but just phrased it wrong? That'd be the type of thing I would say joking about an awkward thing to lighten the mood a bit.

That's sexual harassment, report him. It's also not your fault if you have mood swings on your period.
