Today, at work I got told off by my manager for texting while working. Enraged by this, I trash talked her to the new girl at work. The new girl, a.k.a. my manager's daughter. FML

Today, I was talking to this girl I really like at my work. Everything was going fine until our boss called me into his office. Apparently I was being a little too flirty with his daughter. FML

Today, I was texting at work when my manager walked in. I quickly dropped my phone in the garbage to avoid trouble. Since I was working so hard, she decided to do me a favor and throw the trash out for me. FML

New hire

Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "Mom" while at work. FML

Storage wars

Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML

Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML

Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML

Customer service

Today, I handed a written complaint to a shop manager about an employee who had used foul language to my teenage daughter. I then watched as he took the complaint to the employee in question, they read it together, laughed, then the manager tore it in half and threw it in the bin. FML

Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML

Moral of the story: be careful who you talk to. Or, better yet, trust nobody. Still, YDI. People who text all day under their desks instead of actually doing their job seriously irk me.

NEVER talk about your boss during work. Even I know this, and I am only 14.

YDI for texting at work, you lazy shit! That's not what they're paying you to do! If it's against company policy, which it almost certainly was if you got yelled at for it, the answer is NOT to bitch back, about anything. Extra YDI for trash-talking your coworkers, regardless of who they're related to, under any circumstances. Epic fail for doing it while YOU were the one being bitched out. Coworkers like you are what make work hell.

Work is not for personal texting. While you are on the clock, don't text unless it's your break or for business purposes.

Why were you so enraged? Most places don't allow texting while working. You shouldn't trash talk your manager for pulling you up about something you're not meant to be doing. YDI

I completely agree with #110. You say you got in trouble for doing something you WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO and then got mad about getting caught? Here's a simple solution - instead of being stupid about it and then complaining to the first person you see, try, oh, I don't know - doing your job and not goofing off.

he's right though. you shouldn't Tex at work unless it's an emergency. if you can hide and do it (Aka stocking milk in a grocery store) more credit to you, but he was right in correcting you.
