Today, the boss returned from vacation. While he was gone we thought it would be a great idea to fill the water cooler with margaritas. Even after rinsing it, we still have lime flavored water. Needless to say we got a company memo about appropriate office behavior. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got back to work from a 3 week vacation. My boss had asked me to get him something so when I returned I presented him with a shotglass with the British flag on it. I later found out that he is a recovering alcoholic. FML
Today, I came back from vacation to find a packet on the company's stress management programs on my desk. I was sent the same packet over my vacation. I got the same packet from my boss as I left. All because I snapped at a co-worker who was throwing a tantrum over the Star Wars trailer. FML
Today, I accidentally filled the lemonade machine with margarita mix that already had the tequila mixed in. It was served to three kids before anyone figured it out. FML
Today, I went to take a drink from my water bottle while sitting in a quiet office with 5 coworkers. I squeezed too hard, sending a jet of water straight into my nose. My coworkers now think I need a sippy cup. FML
Today, we had some workers come to paint my office building. As a receptionist, it's my job to stock the fridge with soda. I walked into the supply closet just in time to find a worker peeing in a bucket. I stood there for about 10 seconds before I understood what was happening and ran out. FML
Today, my new boss, the CEO's son, finally showed up for work, three days late and right after lunch break. His first order of business was to call a meeting and scream at everyone for not having a diet latte waiting for him on his desk. God help us all. FML
Today, my colleague came back from vacation so I no longer have to do her job on top of mine. My bosses saw this as the perfect occasion to barge into my office every five minutes to hand me tasks. When I asked for a ten-minute break to do a task that needed concentration, they barged in again after five minutes. FML
Today, I had a lunch meeting with important people from my company. While drinking from my wine glass someone cracked a joke, causing me to snort a fountain of wine all over my lap, splashing the people next to me. The horrified look on my boss's face sitting opposite me said everything. FML
Today, one of my co-workers was fired after my manager discovered him pissing in the office coffee pot. I had three cups before I found out what had happened. FML
Today, my boss joined me on my vacation, to "make sure I actually went". FML

#39- YOU would make a shit boss. People at my office sometimes have a drink at their desk and the whole art department goes off to a bar every Thursday afternoon, but tampering with company property like that isn't cool. What if there are people who want water? What if there are teenagers working as temps? Bring My Daughter to Work day? It's incredibly irresponsible.

how is expecting people to not be drunk while working or filling the watercooler with margaritas being a 'tightass'? is it really that hard to get through the day without a drink for you?

it probably wouldnt have that much alcohol content after rinsing. not really FML material seeing as you only got a memo but man that's quite funny :] wish i had folks like you at work!

wow #39 obviously knows shit all about how the real world works. but of course he's just angry that he'll never reach a management position bc of his drinking problem and general stupidity/irresponsibility

Because teenagers are complete perfect angles that wait until their 21 before drinking. . . Nobody got hurt, fired, in trouble, this is hardly a FML. Wish I worked there though, that sounds awesome. PS. You'd have to be a complete ******* idiot to drink from a giant cooler of green water and go "hey, this isn't water!".
