Today, I went to my company's HR manager to ask what the procedure was to file a sexual harassment complaint since my boss exposed himself to me. His response was that the procedure is to "get over it." And he went back to reading. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my coworker touched me inappropriately. I reported it to HR, and all they said was, "Do you want to talk to a therapist?" FML
Today, after having finally summoned the nerve to report a guy at my workplace who has been sexually harassing me for months, I got a phone call from my boss. He said that there was nothing he could do about it, because the guy "wouldn't confess." FML
Today, I told the man I've been in love with for 3 years, who also happens to be my boss, how I felt. He responds by filing sexual harassment charges against me. FML
Today, a coworker grabbed my ass for the third time. I went to my boss to complain about the sexual harassment. He told me to suck it up and enjoy the attention, and that it was my fault for having a huge, round ass. I think it's time for a new job. FML
Today, I tried to call my company's HR to report my boss for sexually inappropriate comments towards me. Turns out, the only person I can complain to is the franchise owner, who has been good friends with my boss for over a decade. FML
Today, HR informed me that they would not be investigating my formal complaint against my boss. This after four months of relentless bullying, including calling me while I was on vacation to tell me to do work, and eliminating my position when she found out I had gone to HR. FML
Today, I had to give a sexual harassment seminar to my department. Someone put in a complaint that my example made them feel uncomfortable. FML
Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for sexual harassment. I was shopping after work, and I had to get my female manager to give me a package of extra-large condoms from the lockbox. I could not convince her that I was not flirting, and she took it to HR. FML
Today, yet again, my boss whined to me like a baby over being "friend-zoned" by his secretary. Not only does he basically stalk her and make her eat lunch with him every day, she's a lesbian in a committed relationship. He suspended me after I lost it and told him to see a fucking therapist. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't know anything about Australian law, but I suspect it's illegal for him to ignore your concerns like that. Talk to a lawyer--at very least, the company should transfer you to another department so you don't have to work with your current boss, if not fire him.

The heart of the issue is that she was shown something that she didn't want to see in the first place. Sexual Harassment isn't a "suck it up and get over it." Once you see something like that u can't unsee it. Seek legal help and charges filed against him. Apologize for that having to happen.

You're a real bitch for wanting to file charges over this. Get off your high horse and get the **** back to work. they don't pay you to complain.

are you kidding me? if i went over to you and flashed my genitals i think you'd be a little pissed. especially if i was a supposedly older male boss. and we were at a workplace. no matter what you say on the internet, in real life you'd be like "what the hell is wrong with you!"

Ohmigod people will do anything to say "YDI". Her boss flashed himself to this woman and you're all like "get over it". It's not ******* okay to show someone your penis randomly and at work!!

For those of us who have lived a little, we can say honestly that there are a lot worse things that could happen in life and ghis is not so bad. Most of us would get over something like this. However, if he is a sleazeball and the job is shit then sue. it's your one big chance.

I can't believe some of you guys. You say the OP should get over it because she's probably seen a penis before. By that logic, should a rape victim also get over it because they've probably had sex before? **** no. OP, that is terrible. Go to someone higher up. Don't listen to these ***** or your HR.

Firstly: I can't believe half of these comments! Just because something 'happens all the time' does not make it right or acceptable. Secondly: Guys, just because you have a dick, does not mean that every girl wants to **** you. Thirdly: I agree with #26.

There is higher up than human resources. If that fails then go to the police and have him charged with indecent exposure.

Wow. The appallingly sexist comments on this thread make me utterly ashamed of my gender.

Comparing a man exposing himself to a woman with cleavage is like comparing apples and oranges. Men aren't typically bothered by that, and plus, if women DON'T act all sexy they get treated like crap. There's a huge difference between male genitalia and breasts.

Breasts aren't even genitals. They're secondary sex characteristics (you know, like facial hair and adam's apples). Comparing them to genitals is laughable....
