The world needs fewer ugly ties.

Sounds like you're well-respected at work, boss.

This is definitely a YDI. Either because you're an asshole and someone stood up to you, or you're some pushover that let's people walk all over you.

You deserve it. no one would light your tie up for no reason. you should give him a raise for being honest

I can't believe there are so many idiots thinking it was on purpose. Obviously, it was an accident, which is why it ended up beinf an FMLy situation but funny enough in the guy's mind to be posted here. From the OP's name, and from the fact that ties are not normally flammable enough to catch on fire easily without some combustible added to it, I deduct that the OP probably works at the fast-food chain as a manager and the tie problem involved a kitchen accident with oil lighting on fire and getting on the tie as the employee jerked back in fear. (People tend to, when oil does that.)

Thank you! That's exactly what I said, and I knew I couldn't be the only one to see that side!

How the HELL did that happen?! xD

At least he didn't blow up your computer Tyler Durden-style. Was your tie cornflower blue for Tuesday?

I didn't. You did! Stop breaking the rules, man! They're gonna have Project Mayhem kill us!

Good thing no-one mentioned FML Club... ... oops.

How could a moderator be so dumb?! >:O

Let's keep this our little secret, shall we?

Nananananananana Sirin's in troubleee... *sticks tongue out*

Or op wears cologne which is flammable and it was done on purpose.
