Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I confronted my coworker, who I had a crush on, for lying to me. He’d told me he was gay when I asked him out. He’s now dating another coworker of mine who’s a woman. He took this up with my boss, and I was written up for “creating a hostile work environment.” FML
Today, I asked one of the girls at work out on a date. She responded by filing a harassment complaint. Now, I can't speak to her at all without being written up. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to talk to this coworker I like and ask her out for a coffee next door. She was dismissive, cold and rude, and filed a complaint with HR. 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, after having finally summoned the nerve to report a guy at my workplace who has been sexually harassing me for months, I got a phone call from my boss. He said that there was nothing he could do about it, because the guy "wouldn't confess." FML
Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML
Today, I told my boss about a coworker that had been hitting on me. She looked me dead in the eye and said "I was afraid that would happen. He's a bit of a chubby chaser." FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job. My new boss asked me if I was single. After telling him I have been happily married for 6 years, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, it was a coworker's last day. Over the last 6 months, he has been talking smack about me because he assumed I'd ratted him out for a Facebook post, ranting about our place of employment. I decided to confront him after work to let him know that I didn't do it. He then reported me for harassment to all of my supervisors. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't even want to imagine what he'd do if you accidentally brushed up against him

Unless you invited his sweet ass to an orgy, I don't see how on earth this could be warranted.

I'm sorry he rejected you, OP. I wouldn't worry about the harassment claim though, because even if he does file a report, nobody is going to do anything about it. The most they would do is try to separate the two of you and/or just have a brief talk with you to see what happened. Again, sorry that happened to you. Rejection sucks.

16, while I wish what youre saying was true, companies, schools and society like to err on the side of extreme caution on the side of the victim nowadays, and anything that looks weird is usually addressed by getting someone with no marks on their record. This could be a big deal, so OP might want to strategize around it.

I once had a co-worker fabricate lies about my sexually harassing her. I thought HR would dismiss it immediately, because I trained new employees about harassment, amongst other things, and so obviously I would be the last person to harass anyone. Instead, and clearly without any evidence to support her claims, I was suspended without pay for two weeks. I told them to take the job and shove it, and ended up getting a better job anyway. But yeah, it can be a big deal.

I feel like if a guy asked a female coworker out it could easily get twisted into sexual harassment

Don't mix business and pleasure

What if you're in the business of pleasure?

But when a guy asks a girl out..... You know it always ends with her winning the situation. -_-

It's not sexual harassment if you just ask him out one time, it is if you asked him multiple times and he's said no to all of them. Make sure your boss knows that.

I'm sure sexual harassment must fall within certain parameters and asking someone out isn't likely to count. I wouldn't worry. they're just an asshat

What a douche nozzle. Any reasonable HR dept will throw that bogus harrassment charge in the shredder

Don't worry OP nothing gonna happen to you he's a man and they won't believe him because of this skewed notion that guys can't be sexually harassed its sad that it works that way but with feminism pushing its girls are innocent and boys are Satan model in to business you have nothing to worry about its a sad truth

Down with feminism with their commas and full stops not wanting men to sexually harass them then harmlessly asking them out down with this sort of thing
