Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML

Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML

Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML

Today, at work I was bored so I started to doodle on MS paint. My boss walks by and asks me to join him in his office. When I do so, he fires me for drawing offensive material. I drew a rainbow. FML

Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML

Today, I was doing a presentation in front of my boss. On the last slide, someone had put a picture of a man's cock. I later found out it was my boss who did it. It was his "good reason" to fire me. FML

sounds like some sort of discrimination. he was laughing off the fact that he lit a desk on fire, which coulda been a hell of a lot worse. while you almost get fired for making snowflakes. if they fire you, sue for sexual discrimination.

It's a man's world. Fires are ok; guys like that. Snowflakes are not ok... that's chick stuff. You just have to learn the rules if you want to play the game.

If it truly is a man's world, the proper thing to do is defy it at all costs and turn it into a gender-neutral world.

"your co-worker is a fun pyromaniac but you are a creepy pedophile" WTF? First of all, this submission is written by a woman (not saying there aren't women who are pedophiles, but it is VERY, VERY rare and i highly doubt this woman is one.) Second of all, what in the world gave you the idea that because this person made paper snowflakes that they are some way connected with pedophilia? and third, pyromania can sometimes be a sign that someone is predisposed to serial killing tendancies. so... yeah... maybe rethink who the creepier one of two would be. overall, your comment=epic fail.

Well pyromaniacism has nothing to do with serial killing tendencies it is related to arson and fire related things while making snowflakes shows that this person is ****** up and the snowflakes represent the number of people she has killed. You are officially the most retarded person in your family.

#31, that shit better be sarcastic, because if it isn't then you need to get off of the officer's comp and go back to your cell.

Why would you make paper snowflakes at work? At work, I usually either work, or I get ready to go out for lunch. I don't think to make pretty things out of paper.
