Asshat
Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. As my boss is an asshat who hates allowing sick leave, I thought I could power through it, but halfway through my workday I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. I had to go home early and now I can't move without pain. FML

Earache
Today, I asked my boss for a couple of days off to recover from a nasty ear infection which has left me hard of hearing. However, he didn't understand why that would affect my job and refused. I work in a telephone call centre. FML

Seize the day
Today, I dragged myself to work, suffering from a bad cold. My boss quietly told me to go home and rest, to avoid spreading it around the office. I thought it odd since he dislikes me so much, but I did as he said. He called later in the day to suspend me for leaving work early. FML

Gummy
Today, I had a toothache and applied some numbing gel to soothe the pain. Too much came out and made my whole mouth numb. A man came into my work, thought I was making fun of his lisp, and stormed out really upset. He later called to complain about me. The boss just called me to his office. FML

The Voice
Today, I sent a voice memo of me singing off-key to my boss instead of the actual work-related attachment. My boss replied, "Don't get your hopes up, so stick to your day job." FML

Grind mindset
Today, my boss wrote me up for taking too many bathroom breaks. I tried calling in sick with a bad case of indigestion, but he told me to just power through it because, "it can't possibly be that bad." I have been in severe, persistent discomfort the whole damn day. FML

Seize the means of production
Today, I’m at home, sick with a really bad sinus and ear infection. If I'd gone to the clinic earlier, then it wouldn’t have spread to my ears, but my boss wouldn’t let me take a day off. FML

Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML

Polite but wrong
Today, my boss walked in and said something I didn't quite hear, but my co-worker chuckled so to be polite, I laughed with him. They gave me some weird looks. My boss was actually talking about his wife's tumor and my co-worker was coughing. FML

The other day, a girl in my Spanish course asked the professor if, instead of tests, we could just do oral from now on to get better grades. She meant oral presentations like skits, but obviously it didn't come out that way. Talk about hilarious...I'm pretty immature so if my boss said something like this to me I'd laugh. :)

Holy! Sexual harassment much, boss?

Wow! So many people are quick to run and file a complaint. If you didn't appreciate the joke, let your boss know. If the jokes continue you could file. One joke hardly constitutes harassment.

Youre life doesnt suck that just means you have a cool ass boss that can joke around with you like that. You should be happy youre not in my position working for youre ex-girlfriends brother... She cheated on me and im the ass hole and catch shit at work because its his baby sister. You have no right to say fml. That just means you need to work on a quick whited response to a comment like that like yea your brother or father or son was awesome lastnight unless youre a dude.... That would make it weird. Unless youre comfortable enough in your sexuality to make a gay joke about yourself. It would still make it a little weird but trust me its more awkward for them lol.

Geez, no wonder so many people hate their lives. Can't tell a little joke? Harassment - aggressive pressure or intimidation. ONE small comment made doesn't make for a sexual harassment suit. If the jokes were an everyday thing, always sexual and unwanted even after having an adult conversation with the person saying hey, I don't like that. Ok, yes. Go see HR. But a guy makes one joke and instantly he's sitting on pins and needles waiting to see if he looses his job? People, release your sphincter, take a deep breath and try to enjoy life. Everyone is talking about being professional. How about just talking to the man? If someone says something you find inappropriate just say so! Then, if it continues THAT'S harassment.
