Today, a man tried to rob the winery I worked at by knife-point. I managed to scare him off by throwing a bottle of wine at him. My boss fired me because I broke a $25 bottle of wine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the winery, my boss proudly made a spectacle of the new, high quality bottles. After over a year of employment without breaking a bottle, I shattered three before lunch. FML
Today, it was my first day at work as a waitress. The day ended with me owing my employers money, after I accidentally smashed an expensive bottle of wine on the floor. FML
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, to get my coworker fired, I spiked his coffee with whiskey. Joke's on me, he's apparently enough of a drunk that it didn't affect him. Then I dropped the bottle as I was leaving for the day, cut up my ankle, and I'm now suspended. FML
Today, on my way to work I stopped at a winery and spent around $120 on 2 bottles of wine for my boss, since it was his birthday. When I gave him the gift, in exchange he let me know I am being laid off - his consolation was "if you can afford this wine I'm sure you'll be OK". FML
Today, I was at work, cleaning up a construction site. I picked up a beer can and accidentally spilled some of it on me. My boss came in to check on me and thought I was drunk. Instead of getting a raise, I was fired. FML
Today, I dropped a $400 bottle of wine while trying to get the cork out. FML
Today, I was carded for trying to buy wine and was told the dates were faded, so they wouldn’t be selling it to me, since they suspected I was underage. I work at the vineyard that produces the wine, I’m the head vintner, and I made the wine in the bottle I wasn’t allowed to buy. FML
Today, working in a liquor store, I had to tell a girl I couldn't sell her alcohol since she was severely intoxicated. She told me to "cash me ousside, how bow dat?" then smashed a bottle of wine and left. FML

it was either that $25 bottle of wine or all the money in the cash register, which is most likely a lot more than that. It's too bad your boss is a total knucklehead that lacks common sense. if anything, he could have at least tried to make you pay for that wine bottle before firing you.

He must have been drunk. You know what they say never trust a skinny chef, and never trust a sober sommelier.

Every time I saw sober, I read somber. FML

Too bad you can't hunt down the robber and inform him that he is good to go to rob the store again since apparently your boss doesn't give a rat's ass either way.

Rob the store when only he's in, but 1. wear a mask, 2. make sure he doesnt have a weapon 3. wear protection, in case he throws a bottle at you.

I don't see how a condom would help.

Throw a bottle at him too, he deserves it.

Your former boss is a douche. Next time, let the robber take the money. It's not worth getting injured or killed. Sorry OP:(

I'm thinking it was an inside job and he's pissed off you interfered

I think he he fired you because you put everybody in greater risk, what if he didn't get scared by the bottle, then shot you and your coworkera instead?

Wouldn't have been shot because he was held by knife point...

Ballistic knife is capable of shooting you at knifepoint. So Op could have been shot. Just a thought.

Don't bring overrated FPS games into this.

Ballistic knives exist. You're the only one who brought up FPS games

Hey man don't be sad be grateful you are not a dumbass like your boss. Think... If you continued to work in a place with a moronic boss... You might suffer in future because he'd most probably trade you in for a mars bar or something. Would you want that? No... Therefore be grateful and get on with life... Ahhh enlightenment

Should have thrown a cheaper bottle of wine at him.
