Today, I realized I might lose my job because some asshole customer complained about me to my district manager. His complaint? Girls can't work at video game stores. My DM agreed. FML

Mummy's boy
Today, for some reason, I called my boss "Mum" in a meeting. To make it worse, I panicked and followed it up with, “Can I have a raise?” Everyone laughed except my boss. FML

Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML

NotYourDaddy
Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML

Today, I accidentally called my cute boss "Babe." I now have to pretend it's what I call everyone, and start calling all my coworkers "Babe." FML

Today, a customer was rude to me, and I was rude back. He then asked for my manager, and I told him I was the store manager. He then identified himself as the corporate owner. FML

Workplace etiquette
Today, my new boss sat me down and told me he's seriously reconsidering my hire, all because I greeted him with, "Howdy, boss!" instead of, "Good morning, sir." Apparently this indicates a lack of respect for his authority. FML

Really dude, are you an idiot?

Strange, calling your boss "elephant butt hair" usually works at getting a promotion.

I've had three district managers, and all of them would have been thrilled to get called dude... then again, I may just have strange district managers.

It all depends on where you work. The district manager at billabong gets me with a "dude, how goes?", but the regional manager for Walgreens calls me sir or Mr. Some places are just more relaxed.

that reminds me of my professors in college. They all hated when I called them sir or miss or ma'am.

If you're a regional manager, you are ******, but if you are a country or zone manager, you could even call him "Dude, bitch!" Corporate humor, FTW!

I've accidentally addressed one of our general managers as dude before. Thankfully he didn't hear me. I recently accidentally said "ma'am" instead of "sir" to our new general manager. I suck ;-)
