Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, at work, our new chef managed to start a grease fire. We couldn’t put it out because he managed to splash the flaming grease onto the fire extinguisher. Yes, we couldn’t put out a fire because our fire extinguisher was on fire. The fire department guys just laughed and laughed. FML

Red alert
Today, in Chem, I was chosen to hold the fire extinguisher just in case something happened while showing how to blow up a dangerous chemical. My teacher told me to spray if anything got out of control. He lit the fire and I freaked out and sprayed it. The entire wing of my school was evacuted. FML

Technically…
Today, my boss told me to not burn the place down while she was outside. When she came back inside, I accidentally started a fire. FML

Today, I almost got our office burned down by plugging the wrong charger into a laptop cooling fan. Tried to hide the incident and kept it casual but the smoke detector led it to my area and everyone knew I was the culprit. I'm a new hire too. FML

Not the brightest star
Today, I watched on camera as my son tried to light a bonfire and set fire to my shed. Props to him, he ran to get my mini fire extinguisher from the car, but he pulled the pin then THREW THE EXTINGUISHER INTO THE FIRE. The dumb SOB thought mini extinguishers worked like grenades. FML

Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML

Today, while I was at work, my wife discovered you cannot put out a grease fire with water. I came home to a frantic spouse, a fire department bill, and a newly destroyed kitchen. FML

On the plus side, you've got great reason to get the "office tough guy" fired.

Isnt intentional discharge of a fire extinguisher when there is no fire a felony?

He must not know they cut off the oxygen. Or maybe it was a hit against you.

Office tough guy? Really? Man the **** up and bust his face. Some people can be politely reasoned with and may even be ashamed at getting reprimanded or fired. The type of juvenile who sprays coworkers with an extinguisher is not.

Now, if you were actually on fire, THAT would've been a true FML. Still, sucks for you though. Office tough guy doesn't sound too smart.
