Today, I took a video of a fellow employee doing nothing but watching YouTube videos at work. When I showed the video to my boss, hoping he'd be reprimanded, I got fired for operating video equipment on company grounds. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at work, I received an email telling me that viewing porn websites was prohibited and was a good enough reason to fire me. FML
Today, my boss went out for a few hours. My coworkers saw this as an opportunity to take a 2 hour lunch without getting caught. I stayed at the office to answer the phone, while streaming videos which is a big no no. My boss came back early and caught me, they're all still taking lunch. FML
Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML
Today, I watched a YouTube video at work because I was bored. I forgot I was on a conference call and my computer's desktop was shared with 15 other people. No one said anything till it ended. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML
Today, my boss yet again said she was "literally dying", after she watched a funny video online. Long story short, I'm now on her shitlist because I couldn't help but point out that she clearly wasn't dying, and that her ranting was distracting me from doing actual work. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, my boss told me to go outside and take part in the company's stupid Harlem Shake video. When I declined, he threatened to fire me if I didn't take part. I ended up being the guy who had to furiously pelvic thrust before the music dropped. FML
Today, I got reprimanded at work for calling off when I wasn’t sick. Apparently someone at the store saw me making online videos. What a great day to try starting my influencer brand. FML
Today, my boss fired me for causing a "commotion" at work while running the vacuum. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's brutal. Perhaps anonymity is the way to go.

It is against the law in lots of places & would have left him exposed to a lawsuit

While I agree that your method was wrong in how you reported them OP, I sympathize since I deal with several co-workers on a daily basis who do not pull their own weight and it does directly affect my work. Thankfully my supervisors are taking care of it now and hopefully it will be resolved. To all those who seem to think "snitching" is bad and the OP should "mind their own business": You guys are assholes, plain and simple. You are probably the ones who dick around at work and get pissy when someone doesn't take your shit anymore and actually lets the higher ups know about it. When at work you should be WORKING, interesting concept I know. We have scheduled breaks for a reason. Search YT or read texts then please. When on company time, ******* do your job!

I completely understand your frustration OP, but going to that length to make your point was a bit overkill. If you'd previously reported the behavior through approved channels then you did your part and it's on management to handle it. If their behavior wasn't affecting your workload or you personally, then you really should have backed off after reporting it a few times. If it was affecting you then you could have gone to your manager and told them that you weren't going to pick up the slack for the coworker anymore and made HR aware of what was happening to protect you from potential retaliation.

Let me guess this happened at Subway?

Shouldn't have been a snitching
