Today, I found out why I'm always let off easy when I do something wrong at work. They think I have a mental handicap. I don't. I'm just clumsy and forgetful. FML

Today, I found out that whenever a mistake is made at my work, my boss assumes that it was me, unless indicated otherwise, but he has never said anything to me about it because of my 'learning disorder'. I don't have a learning disorder. FML

Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML

Today, two people at work - both higher up than me - called me out for "stomping" when I walk up stairs. I have a disability that causes this. We work at a place specifically for disabled people. FML

Today, I discovered that it is not, in fact, normal for ones hands to randomly stop working sometimes. I thought I was just clumsy. FML

Today, my co-workers decided in our meeting with my boss that everything is my fault. When asked for examples, they couldn't come up with any. Now they are mad at me, because I'm apparently good at my job. FML

Today, I was told that when I was in middle school and thought I was considered class clown for either making jokes or acting stupid, people thought I actually was stupid and/or mentally challenged. FML

The naughty step

By firefromherlips - 28/11/2013 00:25 - United States - Gallatin

Today, I found out the position I thought I had earned by working hard was only to separate me from my coworkers because I "talked too much". Instead of addressing the issue like adults, I've essentially been put in time-out. FML

Today, I had to go to a boring, never-ending "sensitivity training" session, all because my douchebag coworker filed a complaint against me last week after I apologized for being tardy. Apparently I was insulting people with mental disorders. Or as she put it, "differently-abled" people. FML

I don't know about you, but that sounds like a free pass to do whatever the **** you want and get away with it.

You've got the perverbial golden ticket my friend. Enjoy doing anything and everything you feel like, then threatening to sue for workplace discrimination if they try to fire you.

Your fellow workers actually treat you kindly at work? Count that as a blessing. If it really bothers you confront them and point out your mental acuity. I'd say enjoy the ride man, not everyone gets special treatment.

You probably forgot you had a mental handicap. I mean you are forgetful...

You probably just have assburgers. Its a very mild form of autism and many people live normal lives with it.

I don't do things wrong at work but other wise I too am clumsy and forgetful. I get treated like an idiot all the time at work for it. Just because someone is clumsy and forgetful does not mean they're stupid. That would be the same as assuming Beethoven couldn't compose music because he was deaf.
