Today, I found out that if you accidentally step on your boss's dog's tail, yes, you can get fired. But not because you stepped on the dog's tail. You didn't say sorry. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in my rush to do my hair and get to work, I managed to trip over my dog, hit my eye on the counter, and sprain my ankle. I arrived at work with a black eye and a painful limp. My boss didn't care, and fired me for showing up late. FML
Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss brought his cat to the office. Despite our no pet policy, I still managed to get the blame when the crazy animal scratched 3 colleagues and peed on the floor after my boss left for bathroom. Apparently I was supposed to be "looking after it". FML
Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML
Today, I got a harsh warning from my boss. I apologized because I was genuinely in the wrong. My girlfriend found out about it and sent my boss a message, threatening to kick her ass. I'm now suspended. Thanks babe. FML
Today, after a badly misjudged hand signal, I accidentally hit my boss in the face instead of high-fiving her. FML
Today, my boss fired me for causing a "commotion" at work while running the vacuum. FML
Today, my boss wrote me up for appearing "depressing" to customers. I told her that I was upset because my dog had to be put down yesterday. She told me, "Aw that’s sad. But guess what? That dog ain’t gonna pay your bills and put bread on your table. So cut the emo crap or you’re fired." FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Well why wouldn't you say sorry? Dogs have feelings too.

You can look at it two ways: First, the dog is a living creature who just got hurt and thus could use some comfort. Accident or not, you caused the hurt, and it's up to you to provide the comfort. OR, you just damaged something that belongs to your boss. If you spilled his coffee, you'd apologize, clean it up, and replace it. So, you hurt his dog, you should take care of it. Your own feeling about dogs just doesn't come into play here.

So you step on a dogs tail and don't say sorry or do anything? Imagine if you had a tail and someone stepped on it without saying sorry? You deserve getting fired, what kind of asshole are you?

Well, you should've apologized.
