Today, my boss asked if I'd finished my work for the day. I've been binge-watching Game of Thrones this week, and I accidentally replied "Yes, Your Grace," British accent and all. He told me to stow my "sarcasm" or I'd be looking for a new job. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sat in my boss's office as he bitched me out for being "too sarcastic" to our customers. After nearly half an hour of him criticizing my "piss-poor attitude," he asked me what I was going to do to fix it. Without thinking, I said, "Your mom." Now I'm jobless again. FML
Today, while spacing out about my hot male boss, he called my name for something and I replied, "Yes Daddy?" FML
Today, I finally got an interview for the job I want. The interviewer looked at my resumé and asked, "So, what have you been doing for the past 10 years?" I guess binge-watching Netflix wasn't the right answer. FML
Today, I had to deal with yet another day of people looking at my name tag and saying "You know nothing, John Snow." with a shit-eating grin, like they're the wittiest people alive. Then I had to deal with my boss telling me to lighten up, because it's "just a joke". FML
Today, my new boss sat me down and told me he's seriously reconsidering my hire, all because I greeted him with, "Howdy, boss!" instead of, "Good morning, sir." Apparently this indicates a lack of respect for his authority. FML
Today, I mistook my boss’s "Have a good weekend!" for "How’s your weekend?" So I replied, "Great so far!" It’s Wednesday. FML
Today, my boss sent a message to a coworker saying, "We're putting all of you back on the phones because one of you can't stop watching Netflix so corporate thinks you guys don't do anything." That person was me. Everyone's pissed at me now. FML
Today, my boss slapped me on the ass and said, "Good work, princess." FML
Today, my boss called me into his office and bitched me out for a good half hour for my attitude to our customers. Apparently I always look pissed off and sound sarcastic. That's just my face at rest. FML
Today, I was summoned by the big boss and I was bricking myself waiting in his waiting room, wondering what job he wanted me to do, or if I’m getting fired. Turns out he heard I watch a lot of anime and wanted me to teach him about it so he can talk to his teenage daughter about her interests. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm all for binge watching, but if the lines between fantasy and reality are becoming blurred, perhaps you should reevaluate your life.

You know nothing (of workplace etiquette), Jon Snow.

Maybe you need to learn moderation.

I binge watch shows all the time but it has never affected my vocabulary or speech patterns before. You deserved it.

Agree! At the very least, OP should think about what they say before they say it to their boss.

Not sure which button to click on this one. Sucks that your boss has no sense of humor, but also ydi for trying to be funny with your humorless boss.

He wasn't trying to be funny. He accidentally said it due to hearing it so much on the show

Are you functionally illiterate, 14?

Have you ever heard of someone speaking in a foreign accent on accident? Most likely, he just said it was an accident because fml's format didn't give him enough room to explain why he really responded that way.

23: I'm pretty sure he explained why very clearly with the format he was given...

Although you should know not to do that, he has no sense of humor

Was that a rhetorical question? If you're still at your desk typing, reading etc. Then no you're not done working for the day. I can't stand when my boss micromanages. Sadly he also lacks a sense of humor.

Better slow your role, or you will be saying to yourself, "A man has no job."

just quit, someone who can't take a joke isn't worth working for.

both really. You didn't deserve the harsh remark but you shouldn't be binge watching GoT. You should be binge watching Mr. Robot.

I would prefer to binge watch GoT rather than anything else.

This would go over smoothly where I work. Everyone watches it, here!
