Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML

Today, I confronted my coworker, who I had a crush on, for lying to me. He’d told me he was gay when I asked him out. He’s now dating another coworker of mine who’s a woman. He took this up with my boss, and I was written up for “creating a hostile work environment.” FML

Today, I asked one of the girls at work out on a date. She responded by filing a harassment complaint. Now, I can't speak to her at all without being written up. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to talk to this coworker I like and ask her out for a coffee next door. She was dismissive, cold and rude, and filed a complaint with HR. FML

Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML

Today, after having finally summoned the nerve to report a guy at my workplace who has been sexually harassing me for months, I got a phone call from my boss. He said that there was nothing he could do about it, because the guy "wouldn't confess." FML

Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML

Today, I told my boss about a coworker that had been hitting on me. She looked me dead in the eye and said "I was afraid that would happen. He's a bit of a chubby chaser." FML

Today, it was my first day at my new job. My new boss asked me if I was single. After telling him I have been happily married for 6 years, he fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Backfired

Today, it was a coworker's last day. Over the last 6 months, he has been talking smack about me because he assumed I'd ratted him out for a Facebook post, ranting about our place of employment. I decided to confront him after work to let him know that I didn't do it. He then reported me for harassment to all of my supervisors. FML

I don't even want to imagine what he'd do if you accidentally brushed up against him

Unless you invited his sweet ass to an orgy, I don't see how on earth this could be warranted.

That is not sexual harassment , that's just asking for a date

asking somebody one time to go out does not constitute sexual harassment unless he works for you but you can ask him again and you can't really talk about it with him

You can blame feminism for this one, he's just trying to even the scales. Other way around and it's perfectly justified

From my experience most women pulling that stunt would be seen by their peers as a petty bitchcake, even if it was seriously investigated. So I'm assuming all the people going 'if it was the other way around everyone would summarily execute him and name her the new queen of the country' are saying that because that's what they themselves would do. Speak for yourself dude.

For those of you stating never to date a coworker I disagree. I'm going on nearly 30 years with my coworker and things couldn't be better. Granted, I am self employed but that's besides the point.

Better off without him... If he considers that sexual harassment, he is too stupid to waste your time with... Hopefully he stays single to keep his genes out of the gene pool.

Today, that's what may qualify as "sexual harassment".

Sexual harrassment? What a dick...

Asking ONCE is not sexual harassment. This egomaniacal little bitch needs to get over himself. If you repeatedly asked him and pressured or blackmailed him, like a lot of men do in the workplace, THAT would be harassment.
