Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 put me on suspension for violating company policy by having non-work related mail in my inbox. They were spam emails. FML
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, I accidentally mistyped "one sec" as "one sex" in a group chat at work. I apologized and corrected myself immediately, but some bitch with too much free time was so offended that she reported me to HR anyway. I'm suspended while they look into it, and my girlfriend is convinced I did it on purpose. FML
Today, I spent an hour trying to log into my work email. I apparently kept typing the wrong password and eventually got locked out for 24 hours. My boss texted me five minutes later asking why I wasn’t responding to his emails. FML
Today, my girlfriend was suspended from work after she was caught fucking one of her co-workers. FML
Today, I got a harsh warning from my boss. I apologized because I was genuinely in the wrong. My girlfriend found out about it and sent my boss a message, threatening to kick her ass. I'm now suspended. Thanks babe. FML
Today, I was logging into my work computer. My account became locked due to the many failed attempts at typing my password. Thinking I was alone, I said, “Fuck this shit” while dragging the keyboard off my desk. Turns out my supervisor was in the other room. I'd forgotten I'd changed my password the other day. FML
Today, I finally had enough of my coworker mocking and misgendering my transgender daughter, so I screamed at him. I got written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks. He got praise from our boss for handling the situation with class. FML
Today, I sent an email to my boss saying I'd fixed a glitch in our mail servers. He called me later, angrily shouting that I'd done a piss-poor job of fixing it, because my email had spammed his inbox with several hundred duplicate messages. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pick and choose your battles. There's some people you just have to be nice to, especially at a job you're trying to keep.

Just like with food, you don't mess with people who handle important things.

You should consider anger management classes

YDI. Never pick a fight with the system admin. If they chose to do so, they could probably get the boss fired, let alone you. Even if they are horrible admins they can still do major damage if provoked.

You're a dick for exploding at an innocent person over something they cannot control while they are helping you. Apologize.

"Due to her taking ages to enable my new email account." It's right there in his Fml. He's clearly impatient and feels like he should not be made to wait.

Maybe he can't afford to wait. Busy with work, deadlines approaching, etc.

Alright, I'll admit defeat. The way I pictured it was her at his desk, doing the set up with him. It didn't occur to me that perhaps she was just shipping out emails. Oh and I love that you pointed out my accidental innuendo. I had no idea until you pointed it out. Proceed to down vote. I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

You only have to take it with a grain of salt #91. Don't be so hard on yourself, a pinch of salt is just way too much ;)

You should be able to prove based upon the time sent that it wasn't you and get them in trouble.

Easier said than done, especially if OP could potentially access work email from home. One has to be the, oh I don't know, "System Admin", to ultimately prove it wasn't them.

Emails can be sent with a time delay.

Often it is not WHAT you say it is how you say it. Learn to be assertive OP instead of losing your shit on people. Sorry but YDI

That is unbelievably unprofessional of her... good luck OP with telling them :)

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn.

#21, ". . . like a woman scorned." Of course, this was written before there was such a thing as an IT woman. Dante needs to add at least one more concentric level of hell.

And THAT is why you don't **** with the sys admin.

Maybe the IT person hadn't got laid in a while :-D

Thanks, Captain Obvious, for pointing that out to those of us that didn't understand that concept when reading the FML.

People you should never yell at: -Your doctor -Infants -The person who makes your burger -Your sysadmin

Husband/wife should be on that list. You sleep with this person & they have way too many opportunities to smother you with a pillow.

Well isn't that nice for you. If you have an argument, then make it. Saying you disagree with an opinion is worthless without offering your own. I wait with bated breath.

When I was in elementary school, my mother taught me to always make friends with the lunch ladies, secretaries, custodians, and bus drivers - they can make your life infinitely easier. When I got into the working world, she amended the list to waitstaff, secretaries, IT, custodians, and human resources. Best advice I've ever received.

Never mess with a sys admin, you don't know the shit we put up with while giving you service with a smile - a sys admin
