Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML

Workplace etiquette

Today, my new boss sat me down and told me he's seriously reconsidering my hire, all because I greeted him with, "Howdy, boss!" instead of, "Good morning, sir." Apparently this indicates a lack of respect for his authority. FML

Strange, calling your boss "elephant butt hair" usually works at getting a promotion.

My district manager actually prefers being called dude or bro over his actual name...makes him feel like we're more like friends.

You should've adressed him as either: boss, chief, or man. Never address your boss as dude, unless you two are super cool with each other, and they know that you're not referring to the scientific terminology of the word.

...Uhhh. I call my DM dude frequently. It's not like it's demeaning. I'm a shift lead and I've been around long enough that I realized DM's are people too.

Today, my longtime crush, who turned me down because he’s “sick of women”, just got into a relationship. He made it Facebook official, with photos of them and everything. Wanting to even the score, I commented, “So it seems your sickness of women is cured, huh?” He bitched at me for “ruining his moment” and deleted me. FML
