Today, while at work taking notes on a pad of paper, my boss witnessed me trying to scroll down on the paper, as if it was a touch-screen phone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was working on entering a lot of information in the system. When I'd finished, I closed the screen to move on to the next steps, my boss came by to see how I was doing, just in time to see me looking at a now-blank screen. I'm convinced that my boss thinks I closed a screen that wasn't work related. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML
Today, I was at work, when I got bored and started spinning around in my chair for a little fun. As I was spinning, I went to grab my phone. I missed and sent my phone flying, hitting my coworker in the face. My boss witnessed the whole thing. FML
Today, I was bored in a meeting, so I absentmindedly started flipping my phone like a fidget spinner. I lost grip, spun it towards the ground, then watched it slide across the floor directly to my manager's feet. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML
Today, I realized how much I'm on the computer. I tried to "CTRL+Z" on something I wrote down on my paper. FML
Today, my boss and I were bragging about our new phones. I unlocked mine to show its awesome display, and accidentally opened a job search app. FML
Today, I was in a meeting with my boss and superiors as well as our clients. About two hours in I started playing with the lid of the pen I was using, next thing I saw was the lid flicking up and hitting my boss square in the middle of the head. FML
Today, I was on a conference call and digital meeting at work when I got bored and started surfing the Internet. Little did I know that my desktop was being shared. My boss was on the call and saw everything. FML
Today, even though I’m not allowed to be on my phone while on the line at work, I texted an unknown number. My manager looked at her Apple Watch. I'd texted my manager while on the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Soon, you're going to expect the pad to spellcheck your work. Peh. Humans, you gotta do everything for them. Get a paperclip and pretend it's assissting you. That won't make you look crazy at all to your boss.

Really I thought it was smart.

1- the combination of your comment and profile picture made me bust out laughing.

I would pretend that I was cleaning it.... And go on! *-*

What's next? Waiting for that red wavy line under misspelled words?

OP must be stupid to make that mistake. There's no way this should be possible if OP wasn't stupid.

How do you clean a pad of paper #76?

Chew it over with Twix.

You should have chewed it over with Twix before you made this comment

Should've had a V8. *shakes head sadly*

The humor of this comment is in the irrelevancy. It's funny because pausing time with Twix would have done absolutely nothing.

When will people stop using this meme?

57- it's a commercial for twix, not a meme, and it isn't used that often, I hadn't heard it for a couple months until a few days ago

Maybe he was tired and needs a break...of that kit kat bar.

The machines are going to take us over. Terminator: Salvation in the making for the human race.
Pleonasm 36
"In labs everywhere, experimental robots would leap up from lab benches in a murderous rage, locate the door, and—with a tremendous crash—plow into it and fall over. Those robots lucky enough to have limbs that can operate a doorknob, or to have the door left open for them, would have to contend with deceptively tricky rubber thresholds before they could get into the hallway. Hours later, most of them would be found in nearby bathrooms, trying desperately to exterminate what they have identified as a human overlord but is actually a paper towel dispenser. But robotics labs are only a small part of the revolution. There are computers all around us. What about the machines closest to us? Could our cell phones turn against us? Yes, but their options for attacking us are limited. They could run up huge credit card bills, but the computers would control our financial system anyway—and frankly, judging from the headlines lately, that might be more of a liability than an asset. So the phones would be reduced to attacking us directly. It would start with annoying ringtones and piercing noises. Then kitchen tables around the country would rattle as the phones all turned on their ‘vibrate’ functions, hoping to work their way to the edges and fall on unprotected toes." - What If

Technology isn't going to take over. Not completely anyways. We'll always need paper. How do I know this? Well, it's simple. Have you ever tried wiping your ass with an iPad?
ICastillo 25
#19 that was an inspirational story and an eye opener right there and #20 you've never wiped your ass with leaves its easy?
lilhellian 27
20 Yes I have, it worked better then toilet paper. Only issue is it's so expensive.
ICastillo 25
lilhellian now that I think about it, isn't there an app for that?
lilhellian 27
I think so. I stopped questioning it after i saw the vibrator app.

#31 I've heard that vibrator app is crazy. I heard there is settings from cell phone vibration to earth quake vibration and many settings in between those.
lilhellian 27
35 I was in Verizon store not to long ago. I heard this lady say she needed a new phone. Why? Because the vibration on hers wasn't good enough.
catatonicsleep 17
20 if you get a bidet you won't need toilet paper....
ICastillo 25
#39 She probably puts it's on her bean and sets it to vibrate and calls herself. And got used to it and needed a harder vibration.

Icastillo she admitted she puts it in..
ICastillo 25
Oh man that's messed up.. So she puts it in then calls herself.
lilhellian 27
Pretty much. She was kind of cute so that helped a smidgeon.

This generation. Im telling ya'
unknown_user5566 27
Telling me what, exactly?
tiffaniekear 3
Everyone is always quick to say "this generation", yet the ones mainly complaining are the ones who raised "this generation".

As a gen x'er I'd agree except I do it myself.

Are you also that person who waited for spell check while writing on a notepad?
MichellinMan 20
I've done that before! *slowly walks away*

It could be worse, he could have written "FIRST!!" on an email at work

Hmmm.. Do I have my very own stalker?
unknown_user5566 27
It appears that you do, 53. Just in time for Christmas! Here's to hoping "stalker" was on your wish list for Santa.

Holy crap didn't even notice my mistake.. You'd think someone who has posted it 20 times would know. My apologies.
YourEvilHero 12
I've done many stupid things, but not sure if I could ever do something like this. take a break from the iPad.
MrSassypants 34
I know what you mean OP. My teacher looked at me strange when I was writing an essay and used my magic powers to make red lines appear when I misspell something.

And how did you get that job if you spend that much time behind a computer?
MsConfusedd 27
Maybe they work behind a computer?
Zomg_Okay 27
We don't know what kind of job it is. For all we know, being behind a computer all the time is an important part of that job.
