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?

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.

Why should he be fired? We all know we would all have a lot burned bridges if some people knew what we said about them after we hang up on someone. He is just unlucky that it was a intercom. Also by the fact he was just threatened with termination probably means the manager agrees with his sentiments about that employee.

I couldn't agree more. Publicly using profanities infront of customers and about a fellow coworker? The phrase 'hostile work environment' comes to mind.

Shit happens. I'm sure you've offended someone though it's not hard to do that anymore.

You should be careful with tannoy systems. They aren't maintained properly and the microphones can become live when they shouldn't. This has happened at my workplace a few times. Lesson learnt OP. Although YDI.

Sounds like something I would say, just not over an intercom. Lmao. Hilarious but YDI completely.

Doesn't make you a jerk, the guy probably is a lazy asshole. But be wary what you say and know hears it.

Always vent at home, OP, never at work. It's highly unprofessional to talk shit at work. You got lucky with just a warning.
