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

Chew every piece then stick it to your boss's chair, desk, phone and whatever else your boss uses around the office!

Haha well uh, you just consented to it! I don't know the legal on that, but you may have to start another business selling your own Trident!

Even if you agreed, it's illegal to pay payroll with something other than currency. If your job is reported legally then your boss can't pay you with a barter. If you're under the table, then YDI.

The Federal Minimum Wage is 8 packs of Layers per hour. Sure, so he can truck in the boxes of gum or deal with the Department of Labor. And if he tries to stick you with the gum that comes with baseball cards, call in the Teamsters and they'll break his knees.
