Today, my boss asked me if he could pay me in gum. Thinking he was playing around, I agreed. He wasn't playing around. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today my boss went digging through my drawer, took a pack of gum, and told me I got him the wrong flavor. He kept it anyway. FML
Today, my boss asked if he could pay me in guns. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. He laughed at me and said, "That's hilarious because I was going to ask you if you could take a pay cut!" FML
Today, after babysitting, the parents actually tried to pay me in Trident Layers Gum. FML
Today, I politely asked a coworker to stop sticking his chewed-up gum to my desk. It's now 10:57 pm and my tires are slashed. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
Today, my nephew gave me a piece of gum. He's not one to share, so I was rather shocked at his kindness. After a while chewing, he admitted he gave it to me because the pack was in his pocket when he peed his pants. FML
Today, I walked into a gas station and saw some $.25 gum. It looked good and I thought I had a quarter in my pocket. I found no change in my pocket once I got to the register, so I pulled out my credit card. The cashier laughed a few seconds later when my card was declined for a piece of gum. FML
Today, I asked a co-worker if he'd cover for me while I slipped out to cash some money at the bank. When I got back, I found out that when he said "yeah, sure" he actually meant "yeah, sure, I'll tell the boss and get your dumb arse suspended". FML
Today, my boss called me in to tell me I had got a raise. I bought a $1500 Chanel bag. Two hours later he called me in to tell me he was kidding. FML

23: Trident Layers TM
SamanthaCassieL 10
I actually just had a Trident Layers™ gum for the first time today. They're delicious. But I do love money more and I'm sure OP would agree, sorry for your luck!

keep the gum report him and get your money and if he ever brings the gum up, tell him it was an unrelated gift.

Trident layers! They excite me!

I don't see what the problem is...
Qandol 26
The problem is that OP has bills to pay and now he have Gums, so how can he pay his bills with Gum?

38 was obviously being sarcastic people.

Why don't we just rid the world of money, and replace it with Trident Layers? Problem solved. Everyone wins.

I'm surprised nobody commented "nobody ever pays me in gum :("

Mr krabs would not even do that!

58- Actually, 23 did, it was the first reply to 1. And so did 11, below.

Chew some of it and stick the gum deep on his hair... Maybe he will see it was a bad idea.
domking1315 20
Im pretty sure thats could be a bad idea. Then wheres op get his gum?
Blackmail111 9
Do you know how many people beg to be paid in trident layers? Consider yourself lucky.
Screwie 25
I'd rather have my own money to buy my own tridents, since I can buy food and pay bills when I get bored of stuffing my face with gum. Just personal payment preferences... Mmmm I want gum.

But what if it wasn't trident layers? It could have been Juicy Fruit and noone wants to be paid in that, it loses flavour after 10 seconds.
onlychildFTW 34
I don't think being paid in any gum is legal. Haha.

Does he usually play around like that? If not... Why would he start now idiot?
xXxIracebethxXx 14
CTFD. There's no reason to call OP an idiot for thinking his boss was playing around. Whether or not his boss is usually jokes around, OP has no fault in this.
geko911 22
Actually, since OP gave his boss the permission to pay him in gum (because that IS what he did), OP does deserve the title of super-idiot. You wanna be paid for real, then don't treat it as a joke. You never know who is joking and who isn't. I kid alot all the time but cash ain't a laughing matter... Although I did ask my boss to pay me in gold bars once...

Did anyone else read 54's last sentence in the voice of Dwight Schrute?
shannonreneee 11
Who would genuinely think their boss was actually going to pay them in gum? Come on. Also, even if OP did agree, it is still illegal.

Just go chew him out, always helps me...

Was that pun intended?

Yes.. Yes it was

Tell him you'd like to work at home - permanently.

But then OP wouldn't get paid in gum anymore

Nobody pays me in gum :(
Blackmail111 9
I'll pay you in gum!
Screwie 25
When you work!

I do work! As a sad construction worker who doesn't get paid in gum!

Alright! You get gum!
