Today, my boss sent a message to a coworker saying, "We're putting all of you back on the phones because one of you can't stop watching Netflix so corporate thinks you guys don't do anything." That person was me. Everyone's pissed at me now. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss yelled at me, telling me that I can't answer the phone anymore. Not because I do a bad job, but because a co-worker whined about it being her job. People call her and complain about how rude she is and then ask to talk to me. FML
Today, a random customer at work admonished my coworker for being on her phone. During our lunch break. As he walked away, my coworker muttered, "What the fuck is his problem?" I nodded in agreement. He heard her and saw me nodding. As did our boss. Time to get written up. FML
Today, my boss yet again said she was "literally dying", after she watched a funny video online. Long story short, I'm now on her shitlist because I couldn't help but point out that she clearly wasn't dying, and that her ranting was distracting me from doing actual work. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, my co-worker spent the afternoon taking online personality quizzes and messaging everyone the results. She was particularly proud of one which told her she was a hard-working overachiever. My boss walked by just as the message for that one popped up and I got in trouble for slacking off. FML
Today, my boss fired me because a coworker had seen me reading magazines on the job. That same coworker was the one who offered me the magazine. 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 went out for a few hours. My coworkers saw this as an opportunity to take a 2 hour lunch without getting caught. I stayed at the office to answer the phone, while streaming videos which is a big no no. My boss came back early and caught me, they're all still taking lunch. FML
Today, my boss called me to say that I'm fired because I was "deliberately ignoring" the messages from a head of another department who wanted to contact me regarding some "urgent" (not really) project. I was on "Do not disturb" because it's my vacation, and this SOB is not even my boss anyway. FML
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You've come to the wrong place if you want sympathy for this. You not only deserve the shame from making your colleagues suffer for your stupidity, but you also deserve the words "I'm a moron" tattooed on your forehead, in Comic Sans, as a double dose of humiliation.

And they have good reason to be.

Be grateful you still have a job, I would have fired your ass.

Exactly this. I’ll never understand how someone can get away with purposely not doing their job. It’s one thing to be bad at your job, it’s another to not be doing it at all.

Although OP is an asshole, if this is an IT job or some sorts, I've had Netflix running on the side while coding/writing. Since the uppers think that hes only watching Netflix, it looks bad. If no work is getting done, sure, but bosses don't see that. They see netflix being run =/= working.

I can understand doing that in your own time or if you are your own boss, however, if you're working for someone it's highly unprofessional and OP should at least be written up.

A lot of people think they can work and do something else at the same time. My colleague used to listen to music. Our job is like coding, something that has to be done in complete silence so you can think hard. She was the least productive of all my colleagues. I don't believe you can code properly while watching TV.

Wait, you're not supposed to be the guy who's actually responsible for this! Yeah, you deserve this one.
