Don't mess with Texas
Today, my boss gave me a verbal warning. My crime? Calling people "Hon'", "Darlin'", and the like. I work at a Texas diner. FML

Today, I started work at catering company. I was aware that I'd be cleaning dishes, but they forgot to warn me how many. Needless to say, after polishing 527 glasses, my hands hurt. FML

Get out
Today, I was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

I wonder if he disciplines the kettle or the coffee machine for not smiling enough either.

Try to fake a exaggerate smile whenever you meet him, until he feels uncomfortable, and can't help wondering why you are smiling at him for no reason.

Well with smart appliances these days, it'll be only a matter of time before they gain a form of sentience and the ability to post on FML.

you should be happy no matter what you are doing, your employed.

YDI. I imagine you work in a restaurant, which is customer-facing even if you are not. Your bad attitude will rub off on others who do face customers. That is why your boss disciplined you. I work in a casino and am subject to the same standards. Shut up and smile.

I'm one of those random people who doesn't mind doing dishes. Of course, running them through those industrial dishwashers is much more entertaining than washing them manually. However, there's nothing to constantly smile about. Sounds like the boss is just fishing for reasons to discipline people. Try not to take it personally.

When I first read this I automatically thought that OP was saying that they are a dishwasher. An actual home appliance dishwasher. I need to sleep.
