Today, I had to call a coworker to the office via the store intercom. The damn thing didn't turn off properly and everyone heard me say, "I hate that asshole. Just be where your dumb ass should be." I realized my mistake a few seconds before my manager stormed in and threatened to fire me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, at work, I took a call from an angry customer. After listening to his problem and fully explaining how we could fix it, he called me a stupid girl and said I need more training as I obviously know nothing about my job. I'm the company training coordinator. FML
Today, my boss rang me for the 5th time on my day off. Frustrated I pushed 'ignore' and yelled a string of obscenities at my phone. Turns out I pushed 'talk'. FML
Today, my assistant manager was arguing with a customer. I interjected letting the customer know that "we want everything to be copacetic." After the customer left, I received a write up for using "big words." FML
Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML
Today, I had to fire an employee due to his staggering incompetence. The moment I said the F-word, he started fake-coughing, then loudly humming, then went to his desk and pretended not to hear anything I was saying. It took 3 of us to drag him out of the building kicking and screaming. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for being an idiot and a jerk.

And that's why you should keep your mouth shut at your job and just do your work and go home. You know most of these people are going to say YDI.

He was alone, he didn't know so he wasn't an "idiot." He was alone and he probably was muttering beneath his breath. Don't act like you don't talk about people you don't like with others. You're not perfect, so don't act like it.

In no way whatsoever was OP an idiot, his coworker was. You also cannot blame OP for being an ass, if you work with incompetent nincompoops then you're bound to get angry at them.

I just think that he should have kept that to himself, and even if he didn't, he should have been more careful

56 I believe he kinda thought he was keeping it to himself.
MassiDelta 28
I guess you have a point

I'm not acting like I'm perfect, I'm just stating my opinion

OP is most definitely an idiot. Anyone thinking otherwise is also an idiot. Learn how to use your equipment and make sure it's off before saying stupid shit, idiot.

Everyone gets caught off guard sometimes.

But thankfully, not everyone is tactless enough to sound off whenever and wherever they want.
Host2phats 21
I have seen around 40 comments with the word "tactless" are the people trying to spell "tasteless" and getting the "c" & "s" confused so spell it differently?

Wow, someone has some anger problems. YDI
GrantAbell 2
Eh, I don't think YDI. You can say whatever the hell you want by yourself. Just don't be so damn stupid about it.
ExtremeEncounter 32
I don't think anybody would figure that the intercom next to them would still be stuck on.

Don't call someone else a retard when you can't use proper spelling, punctuation, or capitalization.

People shouldn't being using the term 'retard', regardless

I'd say he/she is "kinda of a" jackass for trying to berate someone while sounding exponentially worse.

What a retarded comment, 35. Seriously, no one has time for your BS, just delete your account.

#50 As a person who suffers from autism I can promise you that hearing people throw around the word "retard" can be very offensive and damaging. I can't tell you how many times it's been used in reference to me and to be quite honest when it comes up in normal conversation it can have an extremely negative effect on my ability to continue conversing normally. I'm not saying change your vocabulary entirely and never say that word again. All I'm saying is be aware of why someone might find it hurtful.
tarlax 11
I get it but come on, everyone knows it's offensive, that's why they use it. It's like any other curse word. They're not saying it because 6 has a mental disability (being a dumb **** ain't a mental disability per se), so there's no reason to freak out over it and start lecturing people and telling them they should never say the word. No offense but if just hearing the word "damages" someone, regardless how it's being used, that person needs to stay away from real life until they toughen up.
macen 10
The issue isn't about toughening up. It's an offensive ignorant slur. I honestly really didn't think much of it when it was first said in this thread, but I felt that the person who mentioned that it was offensive in the first place shouldn't be berated for pointing that out. And sometimes, depending on the severity of your autism, autistic people have so much sensory overload it can be very difficult to focus on on what particular thing, such as holding a conversation. But when someone does use that slur while you're trying to talk to them it's like it's the only thing you can focus on anymore. The rest of what they're saying is utterly meaningless because they said the word retarded and they must have said it because they're talking to you and you're retarded. That must be what they think of you right? It's the only thing they thing about you because you are retarded. Right?

sorry about that

You should be a lot more careful about what you say at work. You wanna complain, save it for when you get home. YDI for being unprofessional.
MyNameIsLaughter 18
You deserved it Always double check stuff like that

And that's why you should keep your mouth shut at your job and just do your work and go home. You know most of these people are going to say YDI.

At first I read this as though the intercom wasn't turning ON properly and you were angry because of that, but it doesn't seem like you had any reason to be mad. You were doing your job and if the intercom worked properly, calling somebody somewhere is just part of working with coworkers. Total YDI.
fpants2010 18
I think you missed the point.
MrConcise 35
I got the point, OP doesn't get along with the coworker and has obviously had trouble with him in the past. That being said, you put up with minor things coworkers do because that's part of a job. So calling him somewhere isn't enough for the attitude. I would understand if the intercom wasn't working and it made him angry because he would have to go out of his way to call the coworker now, but there's no reason for him to be pissed.
SalsaVerdeDonut 22
#16 I think you still missed the point. OP isn't necessarily mad that he had to use the intercom. The FML is about him getting caught ranting and cursing by the entire store. The reason for his "attitude" is because his coworker isn't where they should be, and probably more reasons we may never know. The list could go on.
AninOnin 24
I think MrConcise is saying that, even if the employee OP was calling wasn't in his proper work area, there's no reason to get that mad about it. Calling employees over from wherever they are is a part of the job.

I think you missed the point #44.
