Today, I received a chain-mail text that vividly described what "Tanya" would do to me in my sleep if I didn't forward it on. I'm so paranoid that I did just that. I also realized that accidentally forwarding such things to your boss can get you fired. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss told me she had a nightmare where her life depended on me, and I let her die. Now I'm ridiculously paranoid that I'm going to get fired at any second. FML
Today, I accidentally sent a text message meant for my best friend to my boss. The text was about how much I hated my job and my boss's constant micromanagement. FML
Today, I received a three-time forwarded message, which I thought would turn out to be a random chain message. Turns out my boyfriend didn't want to send me the "break-up text" himself and figured it would get to me eventually after sending it to all my best friends. FML
Today, I had a major falling out with my best friend. Angry, I sent a short text message to him explaining how I felt. I soon noticed I'd accidentally texted "I'm going to fucking kill you, asshole." to my boss instead. I'm still waiting on a reply. FML
Today, I accidentally emailed the entire company everyone's salary, sales history, and the names of four people I intended to fire. FML
Today, I found out that the dream in which I drunkenly phoned my boss and called him a "fat useless piece of shit" actually did happen. I woke up to 10 missed calls and 5 angry texts stating I was fired. FML
Today, I had an argument with my boss and tried to text a friend about it. I accidentally texted my boss instead. FML
Today, I meant to send a cheeky “I’m out of the office” reply to my team but instead hit “reply all” on an email chain with my entire company, including my boss, HR, and some clients. The message included a joke about “sleeping through meetings” that was NOT work-appropriate. FML
Today, my boss was watching taser pranks online, when he said he was going to "get me". We often take turns playing pranks on each other, and I was the last to prank him. Now I'm terrified to move or turn my back on anything other than a wall at work. FML
Today, due to a change in our internal system, I set up an email filter at work that sent all incoming messages to spam. My boss had been sending me urgent updates all day, and I only realized when she came over and asked why I’d “gone radio silent.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I want to meet Tanya! Oooooh baby! One thing puzzles me. How does Tanya find out where you sleep from a forwarded email? OK two things. How does she know you didn't forward it? It's not like she's Bill Gates and can track your emails and give you checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Or is she?

Have you never gotten a chain message? You're lucky but ignorant.

I just visualized Bill Gates sitting behind his computer, laughing maniacally as he spawns yet another chain e-mail

Your boss is wan-Tanya to know that you need some help if you're that paranoid.

I'm paranoid, but even I don't forward chain-mails!

Replace paranoid with stupid and it'll be fixed.

I'm annoyed by the fact that people believe chain-mail texts, let alone still send them.

I will die by Tanya before forwarding any chain mail!

Every chain mail letter I've gotten has stopped with me. Even back when they were paper letters! :)

Next time delete the text, but put bear traps around your bed just in case. BUT DON'T FORGET ABOUT THEM!

Too bad OP can't afford any bear traps anymore.

Don't reproduce, you'll dilute the entire human race's gene pool with your stupidity.

Yeah...it's way too late for that. Stupid people already outnumber smart people at least 10 to 1.

...Oh, for ****'s sake. I thought that shit was over when Myspace died down. I'm sorry, but you're a moron. One, for believing in chain letters past the age of 13, and two, for sending it to your BOSS and spamming what I assume was his/her work email.

When I was in primary school I used to get actual chain letters in the mail. I couldn't believe it when I started getting them in my emails, five years later..

You're a fool OP. Those chains usually come with another one minutes later that describe in vivid detail what Roger will do if you forward the first one. Now you're faced with Roger.
