Today, I found out I've been incorrectly sorting thousands of papers for the past two weeks. My boss wanted them sorted by date, but the co-worker who instructed me said to sort them into alphabetical order just to watch me fail. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss wants to sort people in his contact list by last name, so I showed him how to switch the sorting from first to last. He tried to correct it by writing the first name in the last name spot and vice versa. Now he wants me to go through and change them all back. All 200+ of them. FML
Today, my boss told me to sort and file all the paperwork he'd been randomly shoving into boxes since 2010. Apparently we're being audited, so he expects me to do eight years of filing in two weeks. There's enough paper to fully stock a large public library. Two weeks my ass. FML
Today, I discovered a large number of errors at my new job, wrote them down, and took them to my boss. Later, a coworker had a shout at me, because he was "saving them" so he could drip feed them to the boss, and look like he was always catching mistakes. FML
Today, someone sent my boss a CD full of documents for an upcoming trial. It's my job to sort through the evidence, so he gave it to me. I looked on the CD. There's only one file; a 1020-page PDF of all the documents we need, and the pages weren't scanned in order. FML
Today, I was given a new responsibility at the law firm where I work. I'm now in charge of punching holes in every single piece of paper to be found in the office, estimated to be in the hundred-thousands. The reason? I finish my daily clerical work too quickly. FML
Today, at my internship, I was told we were going to do something fun. I was excited, until I found out that this "fun" thing was labeling 500 folders. FML
Today, I told the girl working the scanner that half the documents I was indexing from her were upside down. Now ALL of them are upside down. FML
Today, my boss requested that I re-organize every file in the office, because she wanted the filing cabinets alphabetized right to left, not left to right. To thank me, she came into my office to give me one uncooked ear of corn. I think my boss has mistaken me for some kind of farm animal. FML
Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML
Today, I went to work at my job as a secretary. I had been given the task to file my boss's collection of Playboy magazines alphabetically by name of the centerfold. There was one for every month from the years of 1980 until now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And there's nothing you can do about it. Even if you speak up, darling, it's a classic case of their word against yours.

Just act like a mature adult by saying " I sorry that I made a mistake. I was instructed by to sort them that way. I will go back and fix the mistake." Best way to deal with it. Do not stoop to the co- workers level. It will show lots of integrity on your part.

Agreed with 47. People always want you to fail. Work with integrity and it will always pay off.

why are you listening to a co worker about something you have to do for your boss? shouldn't you have gotten the information from your superior before doing what someone else told you to. FYI for being a dumbass and irresponsible.

#49 - even if you win, you still think he's a dick and you still got worked up about it so I guess he wins and you lose. Also, he's not talking about not solving the problem at all. He's talking about not doing immature things to get back at the coworker because at that point he's no better than the coworker.

The proper grammer would be his/her ass since we aren't notified of the gender of OP's co-worker. Their is used for plural references.
