Today, my friend started his first day of work with me. I thought it'd be fun, but he's been putting on an obnoxious fake French accent and saying "merde" whenever anything goes wrong. Half the women at the office want his dick, and I'm still as single as ever. FML

Bonjour!

Today, while working alone, I decided to just try some random impressions, and so I ended up doing a French accent when a customer walked in. To avoid embarrassment, I had to continue faking the accent as he struck up a long conversation with me. FML

Today, it was my first day at school in the United States. Being from France, my French accent is really strong. After being made fun of all day, I met someone from Montreal. I was so excited and said, "Parlez-vous Français?" And his response? "HUH?!" FML

Today, I started my new job at a small business. I was pretty excited to finally be working, until I found out the big boss is a creeper and sees no problem making comments such as "You're way more interesting than the rest of these slope-eyed fucks." FML

Office Space

Today, I started at my new job. Turns out my boss is a complete douchebag. He spent most of the day looking over our shoulders and making cuntish comments about our work, then called a guy a piece of shit for farting and forced him to spray disinfectant on his chair. FML

Today, after eight months of unemployment, I finally started at my new night job. Shortly after walking in, my boss came up behind me, whispered "hooorse dicksss" in my ear, and walked off without another word. I am terrified. FML

I mean…

Today, I finally noticed that my new coworker, with whom I have to share an office, starts every sentence with, "I mean…", then a pause, then says whatever he has to say. I can't un-notice it now, and it's like hearing nails on a chalkboard. FML

Lost in translation

Today, I work as an executive assistant. My French boss wanted to do business with a big American customer, so he sent her an email suggesting a meeting. He copied me so that I could arrange said meeting. He had written, "Have your ass talk to my ass." FML

Maybe you could try to get a video of him talking in his normal accent and show it to your coworkers.

It's better to be single and true to yourself than a person faking being a Frenchie...

I am french and I would like to hear your friend imitate our accent ! XD And, to be fair, I think british accent is so much sexier than french is. ;-)

That's fine 2-3 months from now you will still have a job and he won't It's a big liability for a company when someone flirts all day instead of working (both because he doesn't work and because it's sexual harassment case waiting to happen). Only sad part about is that girls seem to like fake losers like that.

you can't harass someone who is flirting back

True, but if all he does is flirt at work sooner or later he will get on someone's bad side (most of the time it's not a object of flirting but someone beside them that is the one going to HR).

what a shitty and immature way to handle it, unless the plan is to be taken to court

His plan sounds like it is set up to fail hilariously. All you need is for someone who needs french translated or someone who actually speaks french. Or just jump out and scare him; I find that brings out the real, unrehearsed person in anyone.

Everyone saying how he should call out his friend for being fake sound like total haters. I wouldn't be friends with anyone of you or OP for thinking his life is ****** for something so stupid as this.
