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 remember chain letters... I used to get those a lot back when AOL Online was cool, and most of those type of emails were bad to open because they had trojan horses.

I remember getting my first chain letter when I was 10. I was so scared, because I didn't have enough contacts to send it to. But I still read the ones posted on Facebook because I like reading the different kinds that people make up to scare the idiots that believe them.

Ah, 'tis true... I didn't think about that! I was thinking along the lines of text and e-mail, but that makes sense. But along with OP, they, too, are a bunch of morons.

You didn't check the recipients first? That's like forwarding a stupid waste of time email to your boss.

You're an idiot... Please seek mental help for those issues.

No offense, but you're a moron.

I had that problem when I was about 10. But if you're old enough to have a job, you're old enough to realize that stuff's not real.

YDI. Everyone knows chain mails are bogus. Really. I seriously doubt ghosts have nothing better to do than stalk everyone who gets that letter, make sure they all forward it to ten people, follow the 100 people that would in theory get the letter, follow 100 more, and end up following every blasted person who gets it. They have an eternity to do whatever they want, and they would rather do that? I don't think so.

I've never met a Tanya that wasn't crazy.
