Nice guy

Today, I was fired from my job on account of "sexual harassment" toward female employees. The harassment? Jokingly offering them foot massages when they were complaining about how their feet ached after a long shift, and complimenting them about their appearance when they felt down. 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, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Today, at work, the janitor would not stop telling me how good I looked. This was after he told me he was fired for sexual harassment at his last job. He clearly learned that lesson. 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

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, I got a call from work stating that my employment was being terminated. This was after being suspended while they investigated my sexual harassment claim. Their reason for firing me: misuse of company time. Yes, I suppose reporting being sexually harassed is a huge waste of time. 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, the coworker I like reported me to HR for "sexual harassment." All I did was make him lunch every day, give him 'just because' gifts, and compliment him in a non-sexual way. It sure isn't "sexual harassment" when another coworker of ours does the exact same things; in fact, he praises it and acts indifferent to me. FML

Today, at work, my manager accidentally bumped into me, brushing my behind with the back of his hand. He was a bit embarrassed, so I jokingly said, “You could at least buy me dinner first!” He went to HR and told them I made him uncomfortable. I was just trying to lighten the mood. FML

Perhaps the male employees felt left out. Maybe at your next job, you should compliment their looks and offer them foot rubs, too. Think of this as a learning experience.

Yeah I love it when guys "joke" about touching me, it's hilarious. Obvious sarcasm here dude. That's gross, dont imply in any way you want to put your hands on somebody in a provocative way, and yes massages are provacative regaurdless If it's feet, hands, shoulders, or back. Your creepy and you deserved it, people like you give me the heebie jeebies

That is why I absolutely refuse to look at, talk to, or acknowledge in any way the women with which I work. It's just safer that way.

When I read this FML all I can think of is when I used to waitress and the kitchen creeps would always "tell the waitresses they looked nice and offer massages after a long day of work." It's not always funny or endearing. It's just straight up creepy.

Oh please! You were at work, not a bar! If you can't understand why this would be inappropriate in a work environment, consider how you would feel if a male coworker offered you a foot massage or tried to cheer you up by telling you you look handsome in that suit. Your behaviour was not only creepy, but completely unprofessional.

I may be in the minority group here, but I don't see what's wrong with this guy jokingly offering foot massages and saying a coworker looks nice. And this is coming from a girl's perspective.
