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

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.

Unless you asked him out by planting yourself on his desk and spreading your legs open to reveal your lack of underwear, I doubt his claim is going to go anywhere.

He's a bit dramatic ..dating within same work enviroment can be tricky. It can work though. I'm proof we've been together for ten years! Good luck op :)

Perhaps asking outside of the workplace may have been a better route

Actually, stuff that happens outside of work can also be sexual harassment. I know, it sounds bullshit, but sexual harassment is about creating a hostile work environment. That can be done outside of working hours.

Asking a person on a single date isn't sexual harassment. Asking him overt and over and over and doodling his name on your desk blotter...then you might have an issue.

For all saying that the coworker going to HR is "no big deal", I must not work I corporate America. You can be fired for a mere complaint of sexual harassment. Companies have to pay big for sexual harassment suits, so it's definitely something that's taken seriously. Dating coworkers is not always allowed at companies, so before you start asking your coworkers out on dates, u should check to make sure that your job doesn't have policies against that. It's not worth it at then end of the day. I've seen employees forced to resign for dating on the job. So if that coworker was serious, I would be a lil worried.
