Today, my boss lectured me on the evils of alcohol and how it was 'prohibited' during the 1980s. I said nothing because he hates being corrected. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, I learned a co-worker called and awoke my boss at 3 a.m. to complain that I'd been "rude" to him. All I'd done was make a disapproving face because he'd been drinking and he was slobbering drunk, and wanted to charge his purchase to his employee account, a definite no-no when not on the clock. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, my supervisor told me off for doing something. When I reminded her that she told me to do it, she yelled at me for correcting her. FML
Today, I got written up for not making a drink right. While getting yelled at by my boss, my co-worker made the drink the same exact way I made it. I pointed it out. My boss responded with, "He is allowed to because I like him, I don't like you." FML
Today, a student told me to "F*** off!" I reported it to my boss and the student's parent, who is also a teacher at the school. My boss deemed it a minor issue and said we wouldn't be following discipline policy. Now, my boss frequently visits my classroom to bully me, likely due to the two of them being drinking buddies. FML
Today, my boss gave me a lecture accompanied with a formal warning because I failed to take notes during a client meeting. I was never at this client meeting, in fact, I had a call with another client at the same time. Regardless, he insists I was there and refuses to listen to reason. FML
Today, my new boss lost his shit and flew into a ten minute rant against me about the "value of respect". He told me that if I wanted to stay in "his" company, I'd best start toeing the line. All this because I corrected his misuse of "your" and "you're" in one of his memos. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, your boss fell asleep in history class, alcohol was illegal in the 1920's...

In the U.S. it was. In Canada where the OP is it prohibited from 1907 to 1948.

That's only PEI. In the other provinces prohibition only lasted up to 1930. :) Your boss is an idiot OP, and probably fairly young. Wouldn't they remember the 80's?

I was aware that in other providence prohibition had a shorter time period. I just stuck with the one because it was the longest one that was 1) still no where near the 1980s and 2) obviously started before prohibition in the U.S.A.

I support the OP! I say he did the right thing in that situation, unless either the job required knowing the history of prohibition or the employee's drinking was affecting his work. We are ALL going to encounter ignorance in others, but when it's from a boss or teacher it's usually better to grit one's teeth and put up with it. Aren't there other FMLs here by people who corrected their bosses on some small irrelevant matter and got fired? :-)

Stupid wannabe know-it-all bosses. My boyfriend had the same problem with his boss, but now he's the boss and doesn't have to put up with it anymore.
