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?

Hey guys this is the OP. The particular co-worker is a real piece of work. He's a conspiracy theorist, borderline misogynist, and is totally detached from reality, constantly babbling on about how the devil is corrupting our society, the freemasons and even says completely ignorant stuff like how AA is a scam and alcoholics need to "just stop drinking and get over it." I had gotten into the argument with him and clearly explained how the Earth was round and how an idiot could see it with his own two eyes, but he kept dismissing my valid facts with his own pseudoscience and just laughed at me, saying I "needed to grow up and see the world as it is" And the only reason I was even spoken to is because this guy and my boss have been friends since middle school, and is the ONLY reason he even still has a job. It wasn't a serious talk, but it still annoyed me.

OP, as you already found out, you can't fix stupid. Just reply "Whatever" every time! :-)

Tell him you'll eat your own foot if he can find the edge of earth. Should be an interesting bet.

never argue with an idiot, theyll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Your colleague is entitled to his own opinions; he is not entitled to his own facts. But there's no point arguing with idiots, so you may as well just ignore the guy as much as possible.

I hope you're looking for a new job.
