Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I realized I might lose my job because some asshole customer complained about me to my district manager. His complaint? Girls can't work at video game stores. My DM agreed. FML

Mummy's boy
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

Today, a customer came into the music shop I work in to look at guitars. After calling the customer "Dude," and "Man," numerous times, they stalked off suddenly. When I asked if everything was okay, they responded with, "I'm female, you asshole!" FML

NotYourDaddy
Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML

Today, I accidentally called my cute boss "Babe." I now have to pretend it's what I call everyone, and start calling all my coworkers "Babe." FML

Today, a customer was rude to me, and I was rude back. He then asked for my manager, and I told him I was the store manager. He then identified himself as the corporate owner. FML

Workplace etiquette
Today, my new boss sat me down and told me he's seriously reconsidering my hire, all because I greeted him with, "Howdy, boss!" instead of, "Good morning, sir." Apparently this indicates a lack of respect for his authority. FML

Strange, calling your boss "elephant butt hair" usually works at getting a promotion.

If only we could. I use "dude" more than I should, but unfortunately we have people who "own" us, and we have no choice but to just kiss ass.

It happens, I do it, but he is also kind of close to my age

I've heard of calling your manager/(or someone you hate) "POS". When said, it sounds like you're just accidentally mispronouncing the word "boss". Little will he know you're secretly calling him "Piece Of Shit". :P

BOSS can be Bits Of Stiff Shit, but I doubt many people would like it.

Unless your boss was Jeff Lebowski, I don't think you'll be getting any raises or promotions any time soon.

It really depends on how the dm is. I've called bosses bro and dude before. Others wanted the whole yes sir/mam.

I'll have to remember that, that way I can still call the rookies worms, but without making them cry.
