Today, I made a typo in a line of code, bringing the company website down. Our admin was already pissed about having to work over Christmas, and he started yelling at me and ended up punching my supervisor when he got between us. Pretty sure my screw up indirectly got the poor guy fired. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, I had to call a coworker to the office via the store intercom. The damn thing didn't turn off properly and everyone heard me say, "I hate that asshole. Just be where your dumb ass should be." I realized my mistake a few seconds before my manager stormed in and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I got a heads-up that my boss suffered a death in the family, but was coming into work anyway. I thought he'd be depressed, but it seems he deals with grief with anger instead. I found that out when he yelled at me, threatening to rip my spine out my ass over a typo I made in a report. FML
Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I was happy because my co-worker was almost about to get fired due to his lazy habits. It was all going so well. Then I accidentally put my biggest sale yet under his name. FML
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's not your fault that he reacted so strongly and punched a guy.

I really don't see that as your fault that the guy over reacted and punched a superior

Your heart is at the right place, OP.

No. His temper got him fired. Whether he was mad at you or not he's the one who took it too far. Your screw up was fixable and he overreacted.

Indirectly got who fired? There's an ambiguity as to whether the admin or the supervisor was fired. :/

I think its pretty clear that the admin was the one who was fired..

Are you referring to your supervisor or the admin?

How are people not understanding that it was the admin who got fired? I thought it was pretty clear..the supervisor wouldn't be fired for getting punched while trying to break up the argument.

What someone else does with their emotions is not your fault. You didnt force him to punch the other guy.

your mistake yes in only dealing with the code. however take no responsibility in his violent actions.

If he punched someone, it wasn't your fault, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Be lucky you aren't hurt, oh and THANK YOUR SUPERVISOR!!!

Mistakes happen. Especially when coding. It is not your fault that the admin could not control his anger enough to not punch your supervisor.
