Today, I realised that my staff doesn't take me seriously. I walked in on my chef, who had just spent an hour and half carving a block of cheese to make cheddar goggles for himself. When I confronted him, he pulled up his t-shirt to reveal a cocktail sausage taped to his stomach. FML

Today, I came back to my dormitory after a long shift at work. After using the toilet, I looked at myself in the mirror, only to find a huge piece of food stuck between my front teeth. I work at one of the fanciest restaurants in town; nobody bothered to tell me anything. FML

Today, I had a barbecue. My boss won't believe me tomorrow when I tell him that the main pages of his 2-months worth of work file helped make the best sausages I've ever cooked. FML

Today, I was preparing a customer's meal in my restaurant's kitchen, when I choked on my own saliva and went into a coughing fit. The head chef, who's always hated my guts, accused me of trying to hock a loogie into the meal and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, while on break from work, I went to the cafeteria and bought cheese cubes. One of my coworkers, who is usually very pleasant, asked to try some and I said yes. She ate all the cheddar cubes in the bowl, which are the only ones I like. I wasted $3 for someone else to eat my food. FML

Today, my boss hired a new meat cutter because our old one stopped showing up for work. After he put the smock on, I told him what needed to be done. Without saying a word, he walks over to my boss, hands him his smock and says, "I quit." Guess I'm on my own. FML

Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML

Today, while waiting tables, I watched a woman pull the bacon off her roast beef melt and eat it. She then called me over and spent several minutes complaining about the our chefs' inadequacy because they didn't put bacon on her sandwich. FML

Today, after weeks of stealing lunch from one of my employees, he made a sandwich with canned cat food, soap, and something unimaginably spicy that caused me to spew all over my office and laptop. I fired him. Now everyone is treating me like a monster. FML

Today, one of my usually unpleasant managers offered me a slice of cheese cake for doing a good job. I declined, but after some pestering on his part I finally accepted it. I have been violently ill for the past two hours. 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

I can see why they don't take you seriously. Look at your grammar. "...my staff dont take me seriously."

All the wanna-be grammar Nazis out here: The word, "staff," can also be used in plural form. What the poster said was actually correct.

Sweetie, that's not "grammar," that's "punctuation." There is a difference, which you should know if you're trying to call someone on their errors.

Punctuation is a sub-set of grammar in general. :)

And, actually, you are quite wrong, anyway: Grammar comprises precisely the issue we are attempting to address here.

They probably don't take you seriously because you said my staff "don't" instead of doesn't. With that grammar usage, I wouldn't respect you either!

'Staff' is a singular word, but can also be taken as 'staff members', so really you're just being an arse.

Delegate and take charge. If you are the boss then prove it. You did it to yourself for allowing them to get away with it. People only treat you how u allow them to. Give respect, but also, demand it in return. Plenty of people NEED jobs right now so start start playing the "your fired" card. I bet they act right real quick.
