Today, I was spoken to by my boss about an argument I had gotten into with my co-worker, saying I needed to be "respectful of others' beliefs" and less "close-minded." The argument was over whether or not the Earth was flat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my new boss lost his shit and flew into a ten minute rant against me about the "value of respect". He told me that if I wanted to stay in "his" company, I'd best start toeing the line. All this because I corrected his misuse of "your" and "you're" in one of his memos. FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, after a supervisor, who is a Donald Trump fanatic, kept pestering us with the subject, I decided to debate with him, never swearing or disrespecting him at all. I was fired, presumably for disrespecting a supervisor. FML
Today, I found out the position I thought I had earned by working hard was only to separate me from my coworkers because I "talked too much". Instead of addressing the issue like adults, I've essentially been put in time-out. FML
Today, I got into an argument with my boss about the importance of a decent work/life balance. He then asked me to work overtime on a Saturday. FML
Today, I had to go to a boring, never-ending "sensitivity training" session, all because my douchebag coworker filed a complaint against me last week after I apologized for being tardy. Apparently I was insulting people with mental disorders. Or as she put it, "differently-abled" people. FML
Today, I received a two-page letter/rant from my boss notifying me of my imminent dismissal, based on issues such as me "speaking in a suppressed voice." FML
Today, my assistant manager was arguing with a customer. I interjected letting the customer know that "we want everything to be copacetic." After the customer left, I received a write up for using "big words." FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, I was talking with my closest coworker about her boss. She told me that she yelled at her and told her, "You capricious and silly girl, you have to be more independent and brave for this job. You are a lawyer; think about your duties." She told me this as her boss came up behind us. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don’t be close-minded, be closed-mouthed. There’s no way to win with idiot flat-earthers. You are just wasting time and effort in a futile pursuit. How will society benefit if you get one moron to admit that the Earth is nearly spherical?

Why do you believe the Earth is flat?

The problem with this statement is the fact that we do not know what side she was on.

I think I got it right. The flat-earther side doesn’t call the round-earthers “close-minded,” they call them “gullible” and “mindless sheep who buy into the gubbermint conspiracy!”

My grandfather used to say, "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the pig."

I have accepted that people can be extremely stupid and ignorant of science...but flat earthers are so extreme that I find it hard to believe that they aren't just all trolling.

I researched it, because I thought they were trolling too. I believe sources say 2% of them seriously believe the Earth is flat. Something about religion. If the earth is round then Jesus isn't real so the Earth must be flat... I don't understand those dumb asses either...

What in the world is going on here?

I don't know what pisses me off more Flat-Earthers or Anti-Vaxers. Unfortunately for me my younger brother IS BOTH.

Just convince him that vaccines are a ploy to turn humanity into livestock, perpetuated by the mole people on the underside of the earth.

Also tell him that vaccines are being funded by aliens who are offering money to the reptile-overlords that operate the Illuminati, in the hopes that future Earthlings will be completely convinced the Moon Landings were fake, thus sending Space Exploration funding into the ground and allowing an easier alien invasion when they decide that human anuses are ripe for probing.

come on now, maybe we should be a little more accepting of flat earthers. i mean they have supporters all around the globe.

No, I'm pretty sure the Earth is a triangular pyramid. I would know, I am after all an astrology major.
