Awkward, Sexism and Work: Never do this, my dudes

Never do this, my dudes

By bluecollar - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, there was a luncheon at work in another dept. We all went to get some free food and see new faces. There was a hot girl walking around chatting. I grabbed my buddy's arm and told him there was a "nice pair of tits here." He saw her. She's his daughter. She's a new-hire… running HR. FML

Today, I was serving a family at the restaurant where I work. When I went to ask the little girl what she wanted, I was tongue-tied and got "cutie" and "hun" mixed up and ended up asking, "What can I get for you, cuntie?" FML

Today, I finally got a date with one of the hottest girls in school, a perfect 10. Just before I go to pick her up to go to the movies, I called her to find out where she lives. She answered the phone, only to hear my father yelling in the background, "STOP TALKING TO THAT WHORE." FML

Today, I went on a blind date at a fancy restaurant. My date was running a bit late, so I went ahead and got a table. I got bored, so I decided to ask my waiter how I looked. He stood there, then said that, "It's against company policy to mock customers to their face." FML

Today, my coworker pointed to our nervous new intern and asked who he was. I jokingly said, "Can't you tell? He's our new slave." I then quickly realized how bad that sounded, given the intern is black. FML

Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML

Today, I went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. There was a hot waiter who kept passing by. He saw me looking at him and I knew I had to say something. So when he approached my table I asked, "Excuse me, do you have any salt?" and he said, "I think it's right there on the table." FML

Nice neighborhood

By Mrs. W. - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Las Vegas

Today, a kid on a bike passed me and commented on my "big fat butt." Recognizing him from the neighborhood, I told my husband to go speak to his parents about the inappropriate comment. It turns out his father is the man who yesterday commented on my "big bouncing tits." FML

you're lucky, if a coworker said that to my dad about me, he'd kick his ass. and yeah, you totally deserved it for referring to her that way.

I think if a woman had said a similar thing about a guy, like "nice ass here," the comments would be completely different.

Well #50 "spkssd" the last time checked I finished High School, graduated from College, and am now working for Coca Cola... in marketing... fantastic hey considering I am only 21, how old are you? and what do you do for a living? And I actually enjoy hanging out with my brother who is btw only a year younger than me... Junior High? I think not... btw you should not be passing comments like that around... expecially if you don't know a person... it's quite insulting for you to target my comment, which was just a thought from me just like everyone else is, this is a place for us to comment ne?... like it or lump it... I really don't require your 19fusac comment... :) And I am South African... does that explain the "awkward way I write" if you don't understand a phrase I use est. then why not just ask Teef? Making a silly comment like that really makes you pathetic. #58 not all fathers would take things like that likely, but I do agree "shit happens"

I love all the guys who are saying it's not sexist because most straight guys talk like that. I suppose it's never occurred to them that most guys ARE sexist.
