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, 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

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

Dude, relax. Dude was a popular term of endearment to those now in their 30s and early 40s. Now, if you'd called him bro, you'd be living the minimum wage dream for the rest of your term of employment. Got it? Groovy.

Hopefully, he realized you were either very nervous or had a momentary lapse of judgement and didn't bat an eye at it. Usually, if you just make sure to cover up your speech mistake quickly, and refer to the manager in the proper context of "sir" or "ma'am" there won't be harsh consequences awaiting you.
