Today, I found out that if I say "make a sandwich", it doesn't matter what context it's in, or whether it's a command or just me describing my day; I'll be yelled at anyway by my hipster roommate for being a "sexist cunt", then end up apologizing just to get her to shut up. FML

Today, I found out that as a supervisor, if you reprimand a female worker and end the conversation with, "Now get back to making sandwiches," your boss will consider it sexism and suspend you. I work at Subway. FML

Today, my girlfriend viciously chewed me out for not taking a sandwich to work to save money. I don't have a problem with packing lunches, but the store-brand white bread she insists on buying is disgusting. She won't listen to me, and refuses to let me buy anything else. FML

Too many cooks, etc.

Today, I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich for myself, but as soon as I started, my mom rushed into the kitchen and criticized me for making it "wrong". She then made the sandwich for me. It tasted significantly worse than when I make them. FML

Today, a woman threw a sandwich at me, told me to go back to "fucktard island" and demanded to see my manager. All because the mayonnaise sandwich she ordered, shockingly enough, had mayonnaise in it. FML

Today, I got into an argument with a militantly feminist co-worker of mine. She threw several vulgar insults at me and debased the entire male gender before storming off. I'd only asked if she needed help while she was doing a crossword. FML

Today, I was lectured by a self-professed vegan over my "barbaric" eating habits, in between her scarfing down a tuna fish sandwich. FML

Today, my girlfriend yelled at me for jokingly telling her to get back in the kitchen. After we finally made peace and I told her that I fully respect women, I turned on my stereo. The song's first words? "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks." Cue second argument. FML

Today, if I don't do work around the house, my girlfriend will call me a lazy pig and yell at me. If I do, she will yell because I didn't do it the right way. If I ask her to clarify the right way, she will call me a dumbass, give useless instructions, and work herself up into yelling at me. FML

Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML

Misheard

Today, I was on a Zoom call. My sister offered to go get lunch and I told her, "Don’t forget the baguettes." One overly sensitive coworker swears I used a derogatory slur that sounds the same. I didn’t. However, I’m still going to be investigated by my boss. FML

Wait wait wait. Let me get this straight...so you could just be watching tv and say "I'm gonna go make a sandwich" and she will just say "you sexist ****." Am I getting this right?

I wouldn't want to talk to her anymore. And I probably wouldn't unless she directly asks me a question then I'd make short.

I don't know which is worse, her roommate being a feminist or being a hipster.

holda hell up, how are you sexist towards a female when you are a female?

Women can easily be sexist towards women. What fairytale world do you live in where they aren't?

OP, here is a small guide on how to fix this: 1 - Stand your ground, you aren't doing a damn thing wrong; 2 - Fight back! She is being a douche (and I am being very nice on name calling), so all you have to do is tell her to shut the **** up; 3 - Find the longest, hardest baguette, turn it into a sandwich, and beat her with it; Hope you have fun, OP. Go kick her rear chassis.

OP, I know your pain... Try explaining that while she might find sandwich jokes "offensive" they do not qualify as "sexist". A sexist comment is something that suggests one gender cannot do something the other can or such, like ex: "Women can't do anything but make sandwiches" could count.... The whole sandwich joke thing, however, does not even count as being sexist, so her calling it that is incorrect. Even if you didn't mean it in that context, it's still fun to correct these people xD
