Today, my boss ordered me to read the Twilight series in order to determine if they are "appropriate" for his daughter to read. I'm a 25-year-old bank teller, and I definitely don't remember this in my job description. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss asked me to read through a document. I gave my feedback, saying it seemed like it had been written by an 8-year-old. Turns out it was in fact written by him. FML
Today, a student's mother sent me an e-mail complaining that I was requiring her child to read a book containing mild profanity. She then demanded me to let him read an easier book. This would've been somewhat acceptable if the student wasn't in the 12th grade. FML
Today, after waiting for years for my oldest daughter to grow out of Twilight, my younger daughter discovered it. FML
Today, my brother's girlfriend came over to visit and we got to talking about books. Thinking she'd be interested, I suggested a few. She responded that she "only reads good literature." The only books I've ever seen her read are Fifty Shades of Gray and the Twilight saga. FML
Today, my 70-year-old boss asked me to order sexy lingerie she saw on the cover a magazine. FML
Today, my 12-year-old daughter was suspended from school for doing a book report on 50 Shades of Grey. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me because I'm unproductive, and haven't been doing anything. He doesn't tell me what to do, and expects me to read his mind. When I ask him what he wants me to do, he gets pissed and says that I should already know what to do. FML
Today, my insane boss decided I poop too much. Now, every time I go to the bathroom, he follows me in and tries to get me to hurry up by reading passages from 50 Shades of Grey. FML
Today, I took the day off work to be with my wife, since she's always bemoaning my lack of romantic gestures. As thanks, she spent most of the day reading Fifty Shades of Grey, which is basically a blatant plagiarism of Twilight, starring a pair of two-dimensional BDSM freaks. FML
Today, I came home and caught my husband in a compromising position. He was watching Twilight. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it's an order from your boss then presumably you can read the books at work on full pay? Although personally I'd rather be working!

I've known sadistic bosses, but that takes the cake! Any chance you can tell yours that based on what you've heard, those books aren't appropriate for anyone to read?

Easy answer: it's not.

You probably /think/ Twighlight has nothing to do with your job, but in a fashion similar to Mr. Miyagi's training in Karate Kid, you'll come to realize the many parallels between bank telling and being a stalkery vampire. Pretty soon, commands like "watch Bella sleep" or "sparkle in the sunlight" will be the equivalent of "wax on" and "wax off" to your bank telling endeavors.

Edward is a creep, the relationship between Edward and Bella is unhealthy and the writing sucks, so no.

Just tell him the series is about an incredibly old man trying to seduce a teenager, I think that should be enough for him to decide his daughter is never touching those books.

I would say no. That is not part of your job and I would go to HR about this.

It really depends on how old his daughter is though.

Not sure why OP's boss doesn't just look up some book reviews. My guess is that the boss is just playing a prank on OP to see if he'll read it
