Today, I replaced a usually fun collegue's picture of his kids with a picture of my face against glass, so it looked I was inside the screen. Everyone laughed, but he reported me because I tried to "erase his children" and "if anything happens to them" it's now my fault. FML

Today, I changed my teacher's PowerPoint picture to me making a funny face. He saw it and changed it to a picture of him, with a middle finger. FML
Today, my kids thought it would be funny to put pictures of naked men and women as people's ID on my phone. They won't tell me how to change it back. FML
Today, I was fired for telling a customer's kid to shut his mouth. As revenge, I sent the CEO a picture I acquired months ago of my boss drunkenly pissing on a cow. He wrote that it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, and that I am "clearly an insufferable killjoy; a total liability to the company." FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for violating workplace privacy, after he found an FML post from last year that eerily resembled a situation that happened the same year. He thought I posted it and twisted things to make him look like an idiot. I've never posted here in my life. FML
Today, I mistakenly shared my picture in my office group chat, then went to dinner. No one asked me to delete it for 30 minutes, then when I got a message that I'd shared it in the wrong window, I deleted it immediately. I don't know how many people saw the picture, and my manager also is in the group in addition to my colleagues. FML
Today, I took my two kids to a restaurant with a graffiti-themed wall and took some lovely pictures that I promptly posted to family on social media. I didn't notice until a couple of hours later it said "ANAL?" in huge writing behind my dear child's head. FML
Today, I (admittedly dumbly) AI generated pictures of my boss as a joke with my coworkers. They asked me to send them to them but instead I ended up sending it to my boss. A bunch of them were him extremely obese or with his ass out. I can't unsend. FML
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML
Today, I was sharing my screen on a company Zoom call. I inadvertently Teams messaged my colleague saying that the lady who was speaking on this video sounded annoying. Unbeknownst to me, the lady was one of the participants in the call. I forgot I was sharing my screen. They saw the conversation. I was fired. FML
Today, my supervisor forced me to bring the image of a failed simulation to the group meeting, because he thought it looked funny. So did the others and it's now going on our webpage. I have to provide a scientific description of how I made a mistake in my code. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So basically he's an idiot.

Whoa. He's a bit crazy and can't take a joke. I would treat him the same way. Every time I had to be around him and interact with him I would be stone cold serious and talk to him like he did you. And then I wouldn't include him in any of the fun festivities. He's a douche.

I would have laughed also...you could have kept the photo on the desktop so it could be reapplied quickly...

He did react in an odd way. However, I would be very careful when touching other people's computers at work. You could get in trouble for it, or cause a lot of tension with your coworkers. I understand wanting to play harmless pranks, but not everyone wants to have their things touched or altered, and then be laughed at. I am one of those people. When I am at work, I want to get the job done, get paid, and go home. I have a few co-workers who I like, and joke around with. But we do not mess with each other's belongings or computers. That tends to start prank wars and... well, work is not about childishly pranking other people. It is about getting a job done. I know I sound really boring, and I do not think how your coworker reacted is normal or sane.

I agree. I bet it was more about touching the computer. Maybe he has content on there he wants to keep hidden.

Gonna be honest 64, you sound like someone I'd punch in the face.

Why? I am honestly curious. I get that reaction a lot from co-workers. Someone pulls a stupid prank, people laugh, and they think I should be cool with them messing with my desk or touching my stuff. I grew up with brothers who insisted upon playing "harmless" pranks. It got old really fast. I like to get my work done, get paid, and go hang out with people who I am not paid to spend time with.

They say when you die you do not know and you do not notice any pain, but it affects everyone around you. It's the same for stupid people. That's why we should avoid the idiots in life :)

You didn't erase his kids, just his sense of humor, apparently...
fallen_dragonkin 12
he probably hasn't got such a sense of humour as you thought, keep away from him if he thinks reporting his colleagues for no reason is okay
imbedderdenu 23
wow. ..I sincerely hope they arent in charge of anything important. Because he's not right. ..

Uh... Maybe he was messing with you? No? Yeah, probably not... That's so weird though. Wonder why he freaked. o.O

Don't mess with pictures on other people's desks, especially if they're pictures of children. For all you know, he's a divorced parent, only gets to see his children once every two weeks, and then you replace their picture on his desk with a picture of yourself. It gives people the wrong impression.
