Today, after more than six years of working my ass off, I finally summoned the courage to ask my boss for a raise. She just chuckled, "I'm gonna need you to eat a dick, John." and stared at me unblinking until I awkwardly left. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I summoned the courage to go into my boss’s office and ask for a raise. He yelled at me, called me “ungrateful”, asked how dare I ask him such a question, and that I’m lucky to even have a job in the first place. I ended up reduced to tears. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He responded with, "Who the hell are you?" FML

Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. He laughed at me and said, "That's hilarious because I was going to ask you if you could take a pay cut!" FML
Today, I asked my boss for my first raise in almost two years, to which he replied, "In the real world, I think you've definitely earned one, but this isn't the real world." FML
Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML
Today, I walked into my boss's office to ask for a raise, and walked out unemployed. FML
Today, I finally mustered the courage to ask my boss for a raise. I confidently walked into his office, ready to present my case, only to trip over the edge of a rug and fall onto his desk, scattering papers and stuff everywhere. FML
Today, after eight months of unemployment, I finally started at my new night job. Shortly after walking in, my boss came up behind me, whispered "hooorse dicksss" in my ear, and walked off without another word. I am terrified. FML
Today, for some reason, I called my boss "Mum" in a meeting. To make it worse, I panicked and followed it up with, “Can I have a raise?” Everyone laughed except my boss. FML

Welp, it sounds like your boss is an asshole.

She didn't have to be rude about it. A "no" would've been enough. Some bosses are assholes just because they know they can be one.

im trying to understand what she meant by that.

She must not like giving her husband fellatio. So instead, she was politely asking OP to do it for her and in return, he would get his raise. That's what I assumed she meant.

Damn! I think I'd be in the HR office filing a complaint. A simple "no" was all she needed to say. Sorry OP.

I agree with staroftexas9... that was a VERY inappropriate response to your request.

Well unfortunately some work places are small enough not to have an HR dept or a union. In those situations, you have to accept it with a realistic expectation of your chances of advancement or leave. After six years, OP kind of deserves it but on the other hand, jobs aren't easy to find these days. If one things for sure you better have some good reasons thought out before going o the boss for a raise. Good luck OP

You can report her for sexual harassment

OP was lucky... I've been told to "eat a bag of dicks" :/

Either way it is completely inappropriate. And it wasn't worded like "**** off"... It explicitly said, "I'm gonna need you to eat a dick". I agree with a comment about finding a job with a competitor...

You should have stared back at her and said, "I'm not hungry."

Your boss is a straight up bitch.
