Today, at my workplace, I saw a system crashing. I mean literally, my manager was throwing my colleague's laptop at him while shouting around the office. This is only my second day. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I hit my boss's car. It's only my second day on the job. FML
Today, my boss tried to knock down a tower of empty boxes next to me while yelling, "Beat it, nerd!" A box hit my face and knocked my glasses off. I got bullied by my boss. 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, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, I started my new job. It seems my colleagues are moronic pranksters, because when I leaned back in my chair, the backrest came apart and I fell to the ground, to much laughter. My boss immediately shouted at me to, "Stop fucking about." I thought this only happened in movies. FML
Today, I was in a meeting with my boss and superiors as well as our clients. About two hours in I started playing with the lid of the pen I was using, next thing I saw was the lid flicking up and hitting my boss square in the middle of the head. FML
Today, at work, I leaned back in a chair too far, causing me to tip over and smash my head into a wall. If that wasn't enough damage, my boss keeps replaying the security footage to everyone I work with. My head hurts not from the fall, but the loud laughter that keeps coming from inside the office. FML
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML
Today, at work, my manager fell in front of an entire lobby full of people on a wet floor. I'm the only one who burst out laughing. Turns out she has a broken arm. FML
Today, I watched a manager and a co-worker sit underneath a table in our store all day as I got yelled at for not working hard enough. I was the only one actually working. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sounds like an episode of the Office. I can totally see Michael Scott doing that to somebody...

I hope his laptop didn't have the good **** saved on it. that would be the real FML if it did.

What's up with the bosses? Maybe they're just power hungry. But somebody needs to stand up and say that his behavior is very inappropriate at work. What happened to manners?, respect?, and courtesty? No one should behave like that including the boss.

Yeah. I feel your pain op. I just got an office job as well. Apparently nobody here will like you unless you give each of then $10

Sounds like a healthy environment. But seriously, if this is common there, get a new job asap!

In this economy? Good luck.

Depending on what OP can do, this mig also be a matter of weeks. But even if it took half a year or more, it doesn't justify to work under such conditions!

I think OP needs to get out of there. You don't want to be working in The Office office because that's be horrible in real life. It is funny on tv though.

Nice way to put a FML, try and anger your boss so he throws a laptop at you, then grab the laptop and run away, repeat for infinite laptops! But if you can stay therefor a year or two, I'm sure you could handle a lot more environments

Try to get something out of this, like a learning experience and valueble tools that can be used later on.

Like the most effective approach to catapulting a laptop through the air?

And the best way to dodge or catch launched laptops.

Or to make the most confusing route to escape the "predator".

38, I love your profile picture.

Just think, OP, you have a funny story for future newbies to tell someday
ICastillo 25
Or a story to scare the shit out of them.

Hope you have good reflexes... You could be next!

Considering the fact that the economy is in the toilet and you're not likely to find another job anytime soon... Good luck.
