Today, I told my new boss to wish his daughter a happy birthday on my behalf, as I overheard him saying it was today. Turns out she committed suicide three years ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, on the first occasion I've seen my boss since her brief leave, I brought up how I got to hear all our customers' heartwarming plans for their moms on Mother's Day. Her mother just died. That's why she was on leave. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I had to work. My boss wished me a happy birthday, and then told me I was fired. FML
Today, I found out my boss wrote me up because he heard me crying on the phone, and that it was unprofessional. I was talking to my sister, who was telling that me my father had died. Three weeks ago, he was crying about his dog breaking his leg. FML
Today, I told a co-worker to "lighten up, and stop wearing black all the time, it makes you look depressed." I didn't know his father had died the week before. FML
Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML
Today, I was accidentally rude to a customer and she told me to kill myself. My boss came over, told me that she agreed wholeheartedly with the customer, and then said, "I have no idea where you got this delusion that anyone would be sad if you died." FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. Expecting a long overdue promotion, I hurried in. Instead, he told me he thought I would be perfect to take his son on a pity date, because he's a suicide risk due to his depression. FML
Today, my boss called me to his office, and played back a recording of me telling a co-worker that if I still worked there in a year, I would hang myself. He then bitched me out for unprofessional conduct. The taped conversation took place over a year ago, with my recently ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, at school, some kid I’ve never liked came up to me and said, to my face, "I’m really happy to hear about your mom." She died two weeks ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#16. How about the obvious? We're means we are, thus your sentence makes absolutely no sense.

66- If you can't make sense of grammaticaly incorrect people, you must be REALLY stupid. The only time I can't understand someone is when their sentence structure is out of order. I can almost always make an educated guess though.

11. The sentence, if read correctly, makes no sense. So with your logic, to be really smart, I should be able to read, understand and unquestioningly like horrible grammar? Yes...I'm the idiot...

115 drama queen. you obviously knew what she meant, and you don't have to LIKE a grammatically incorrect sentence. maybe it was auto correct! who cares? freaking grammer nazi...

^You're obviously uneducated. If you knew anything about Nazis you would compare anyone correcting grammar to them.

Eavesdroping is deliberately listening.
dre_bro11 12
So does that mean that if someone's talking and say your name during their conversation you're eavesdropping when you react as you do when you hear your name? You may not get me but i'm just trying to say that just because OP overheard a conversation doesn't mean he is eavesdropping.

Well I'm not trying to b mean but that's y it's best to not say anything u just HEAR about unless YOU r personally told cause stuff like that could happen. Don't feel bad though cause u didn't know n ur intentions were prob good next time ma advice is don't comment on Somethin u just hear.
DjeePee 25
My advice is: don't react on something if you are not capable of writing one sentence without mistakes and with punctuation. OP, FYourBoss'Life

Correcting someone's spelling is fine. If I spell something incorrectly I want someone to tell me. If no one corrects my mistakes then I'll keep making them. On another note, I absolutely hate the term "grammar Nazi"! I think only ignorent people use that terminology. Please, go google what a Nazi is, what they did and look at the pictures. Those are Nazis, not the people correcting your grammar. So FYL for being so stupid you confussed people correcting your grammar with people who shot babies in the head next to the rest of their family because of fear and intolerance!

82. You are the major reason why there are grammar protectors. You're just mad because they make you feel stupid and inept. Which probably is a feeling you had since the day you saw your genitalia. You are disgusting if you honestly believe what you wrote. However, you're probably a young naive child who has no idea what the holocaust was like or about. Good luck in life, with your grammar and thought process... you'll need it.

#33- It isn't his fault you're too stupid to differentiate between 'there' and 'they're'. Dumbass.

Damn talk about cut throat ppl. I was just tellin him a cute way to do it but then y'all got on me for ma grammar. Its cool though, I ain't gon sweat it. Oh I gave y'all a comma haha. :-)

89 - Learn to use correct grammar before correcting someone else on their's. It is actually 'their', not 'they're".

But you see, 33 and 67 are two very different people. While I admit 67 has issues with a few words, she accepts it and moves on. She is not like 33 who spells things wrong then tries (poorly I might add) to defend his actions. It was a horrible thing to say about wanting to kill "grammar Nazis" more than the actual thing, but then again I am not surprised because 33 is an idiot.

88 when people use the term grammer Nazi they do not literally mean that ypu are someone who shoots babies. They just mean someone who "shoots you down" by grammatically correcting you. i do not have a problem with (and you would not be considered a Grammer Nazi) people correcting me without sounding like stuck up bitches who just learned to speak and are showing off!!
brighteyes81 0
128. One you still should never use Nazi in reference to anyone other than Nazis. Also, shooting babies was just one of the many horrific things they did. In addition, how you could know what it "sounds like", since it's written word, is totally up to the observer in most cases. So generally, with the exception of curse words, what you read into it is generally what you project.
jessiebear251 0
Sorry to interject, but you can tell what a "grammar Nazi" sounds like as opposed to constructive criticism by the tone of their comment. " My advice is: don't react on something if you are not capable of writing one sentence without mistakes and with punctuation." as opposed to "Don't react without re reading what you say, the spelling and grammar mistakes take away from the effectiveness of your argument." Obviously, no one uses the term Nazi in the literal sense, I agree with #128 "They just mean someone who "shoots you down" by grammatically correcting you." If though, on the off chance, someone does not know about the holocaust, and the events that took place, then they should not use the term in reference to anything.
