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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I'm sorry OP, ydi for being nasty. However if I was a customer In the store I would have not stopped laughing!

is there not a switch or light to show you it was still on? either way, you had to be able to tell by listening, if nothing else. YDI

If you got a mouth to feed. You got a mouth to keep it shutdown.

I completely disagree with everyone here saying YDI. I also hate when the people I work with are lazy assholes. Do your job while at work, is that really such a foreign concept to people? I see people I work with sitting around doing nothing all the time while they're not even on break. There's stuff you could be doing instead of lazing around on your phone hiding out in the back.

Since OP said the "offensive" thing people want to get defensive and call him an asshole. The obvious reason as to why OP was venting was because of the incompetence of his coworker. Sure it may be a bit rude, but it's not an excuse as to why OP deserves to fired, etc.

I think extremely rude things about my incompetent coworkers all the time. OP has the guts to actually say it though. Good for him. I can't stand lazy people. If there's actually nothing to do then yeah go relax but if there is something you're supposed to be doing then go do it.

Everyone talks to themselves and has someone they don't like, normally in their family or working with them. Now you know to make positive sure this stuff is off before speaking to yourself so loudly. You're not a jerk you're a human who has human emotions.

Anyone who works anywhere near and intercom should be EXTRA careful about what they say at work.
