Today, I found out that if you accidentally step on your boss's dog's tail, yes, you can get fired. But not because you stepped on the dog's tail. You didn't say sorry. FML

Today, in my rush to do my hair and get to work, I managed to trip over my dog, hit my eye on the counter, and sprain my ankle. I arrived at work with a black eye and a painful limp. My boss didn't care, and fired me for showing up late. FML

Today, my boss brought his cat to the office. Despite our no pet policy, I still managed to get the blame when the crazy animal scratched 3 colleagues and peed on the floor after my boss left for bathroom. Apparently I was supposed to be "looking after it". FML

Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML

Today, I got a harsh warning from my boss. I apologized because I was genuinely in the wrong. My girlfriend found out about it and sent my boss a message, threatening to kick her ass. I'm now suspended. Thanks babe. FML

Today, my boss wrote me up for appearing "depressing" to customers. I told her that I was upset because my dog had to be put down yesterday. She told me, "Aw that’s sad. But guess what? That dog ain’t gonna pay your bills and put bread on your table. So cut the emo crap or you’re fired." FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Well why wouldn't you say sorry? Dogs have feelings too.

Who doesn't say sorry to a pet then chase them to love you?

the op didn't do it on purpose, believe it or not he/she can't watch every step that they take and dogs are notorious for getting in the way by laying down in the middle of the floor where heavy foot traffic takes place, sadly op's boss is an asshole fyl op

Yeah OP's life sucks for stepping on the dog's tail. I step on my cat's feet at least once a week because she keeps walking in my way. But it hurts them more because we are so heavy... Seriously the dog probably whined and OP should at least say sorry to their boss and try to act like they feel bad for the dog.

your boss is a woman right? I have a hard time believing any man would get that made over not saying sorry to a dog

I don't understand how some people have the biggest difficulty in saying sorry, especially for ACCIDENTLY hurting someone else, whether it be a person or a dog. Sorry should be the FIRST thing you say when it happens.
