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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

You lucked out that his douche said no. If anything he's building himself a reputation that he won't live down. Good luck finding a date with a decent person.

Somehow I think if the roles were reversed people would be taking the woman's side. Especially if he was older than her or creepy in any way.

Yeah, right? People ******* love the word creepy on this site.

Hell, a guy I know gets upset if he'll ask a girl to just hang out with and they say no. That much doesn't upset him, but they usually talk about how creepy he is, when in all actuality he's one of the sweetest guys I know. Sure his appearance may add a creep factor, but appearances aren't everything! Not like he can help what he was born with. I wish people gave others a chance instead of dismissing them, for the sake of forming a potential friendship or more, like in this case...well, unless the guy/girl comes off as stalkerish and obsessive.

I love how everybody's says op should go to HR to report this guy, but if the genders were switched (if op was a guy, and the co worker was a woman) he'd be getting so many YDIs. Seriously, op probably got rejected because the guy probably wanted to **** somebody else. Get over it.

I really don't think that would have happened if the genders were switched TBH.

Check your privilege female scum. Men are so oppressed in this country. The wage gap is a conspiracy made up by the illuminati and Obama so women would get "equal rights." Pfft! The only rights wimmynz need are their rights to get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwhich. The fact that I'm a virgin can't have anything to do with the fact that I'm a fat **** who does nothing but go online and argue, no! It's obviously a conspiracy against me for wimmynz to never sleep with me! I support men's rights!

Since when did asking out become a harassment
derpyshy 16
Since tumblr started bleeding into real life.

Geez... what a jerk. Follow up! What we're your exact words to him when you asked him out? And did he actually go to HR?

I think people are to sensitive these days and look for any reason to one up one another or screw someone else for their enjoyment. Its only normal to date or look to date a co worker cause most of us spend the majority of our lives at our job or jobs, just to survive and make a half decent life for ourselves. Honestly I recommend a date site for u.

The guy's reaction really comes across as something one would hear about on tumblr and that is rather frightening. People are way too oversensitive or full of themselves these days

Thank you Gibbs.

Oh, look! This actually happened to a girl this time for once.

Exactly why my company doesn't allow any fraternization between employees. It's in the employment contract. If you want a relationship with a coworker, go work for another company. I don't need any of your relationship drama affecting my business image or productivity. 95% of the time it ends up with two employees being absolute dicks or scheduling difficulties because grown adults act like children and don't want to to be scheduled together. **** that.
