Today, my bitchy co-worker decided that being given a compliment on her shoes is sexual harassment, and worthy of reporting me to our boss over. FML

Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML

Getting some

By Anonymous - 28/01/2022 02:01

Today, a female coworker kissed me so I reported it to my boss, but he told me I should take the compliment, and asked me why the hell I was complaining about "getting some." I’m a guy, but I’m sure if I was a woman and I’d had a kiss forced on me, it would be a huge issue. FML

Today, I asked one of the girls at work out on a date. She responded by filing a harassment complaint. Now, I can't speak to her at all without being written up. FML

Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML

Today, I told one of my coworkers that she looked really cute today. Later she sent an email to me and cc'd the entire office saying, "It really makes me feel uncomfortable when you say things like that to me. And I shouldn't have to feel that way at work." 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, after years of listening to my coworker complaining about everything in her life, including her job, I finally stood up to her and bitched at her for complaining and not doing anything about it. She went to my boss, and now it's in my job description to listen to her when she complains. FML

I can't believe that OP's boss would believe her story. Its not like OP said "Your boobs are huge, can I touch them?" OP simply complimented her on her fashion choice.

As per FML history, the boss is always stupid and will rule against OP no matter the situation.

Yes and you are going to be in a lot of hot water all the time. If he does buy it I would start looking for another job after you have done everything to convince him other wise. And if she keeps doing it and he don't you have a good reason to file harassment against her.

well he said compliment. maybe a compliment to him goes something like, "those shoes look great on you, but they'd look better on my bedroom floor(;" or maybe " the shoes are nice, but they're too close together. oh I know, why don't you lie down and spread those shoes apart(;"

Some people are absolutely rediculous, I suggest talking to your boss about it. Hopefully he will take your side, if not then he is an idiot.

This person is a walking time bomb waiting to go off. Refrain from talking to her in the future unless it is entirely business related.
