Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was having lunch with a friend when I went on a rant about how much I really dislike my boss, ranting about all his annoying habits. After a long tirade, my friend looked at me awkwardly and said, "You do realize he's my uncle, right?" FML
Today, while sitting at a table in a coffee shop, I overheard someone on the next table talking about their horrible boss. I joined in, complaining about mine, and going into great detail about what an arsehole he can be. Turns out, I was talking to my boss's sister. FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, my supervisor at work is now my father-in-law. My girlfriend told me that. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. I got a new dentist who started out a conversation about school. She asked where I went to school and if I liked my principal. After I told her I thought he was full of himself, she said she was married to him. FML
Today, my dad had fun embarrassing me as much as possible in my parent-teacher conference by moaning whenever the teacher talked. FML
Today, my fiancé's stepfather asked me how my teaching job was going. I replied heatedly that I've never taught, and then complained bitterly to my fiancé about how his family still doesn't know me. Turns out his stepfather has early onset dementia, and that I'm an asshole. FML
Today, I was telling my dad how I turned down some guy, but when I mentioned the guy's name my dad was like, “Oh, you mean the son of my old friend, studying computer engineering, genius, real future ahead of him, and you think you can do better than him? What’s wrong with you?” FML
Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML
Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML

I recommend learning the phrase: "Yes, why do you ask?"

If he was asking about a specific teacher, it's pretty obvious that he knows the guy and that you shouldn't talk shit about him.

YDI for bathmouthing and not carring about to whom you actually talk at a new job.

Maybe you should follow one of the golden rules. " if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." Also, as advice always answer only the questions they ask. Never give to much info unless asked. You may give them more than what you should.

Never talk down a (former) professor, (former) boss or actually...any other person. You never know when you might need them or to whom they are related. Karma always comes back.

Don't talk about people behind their backs unless you're ready to say whatever you criticizing to their face, and don't talk about your business at work no matter what; people will use it against you. Lesson learned my friend.

That's why you just say: "Yes, I know him, where do you know him from", and then wait for the other person to tell you how they know them.

Bad move. If he asked if you knew the guy, it's obviously because he knows him. You should've said yes and then waited for what he said next

What about the Same Last name? :D

I was just thinking shouldn't OP know his supervisor's last name? But it was a new job so perhaps OP hadn't been properly introduced to them yet.

I don't know most of my supervisors' or coworkers' last names, and I've been working there for two and a half years.
