Today, I had to deal with yet another day of people looking at my name tag and saying "You know nothing, John Snow." with a shit-eating grin, like they're the wittiest people alive. Then I had to deal with my boss telling me to lighten up, because it's "just a joke". FML

Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this joke a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML

Today, I gave my boss a nick name. Everyone thought it was funny. Unfortunately "The Troll" was behind me and heard everything. FML

Today, I walked into our office and everyone started laughing. It turns out that I'd been the only one not in on the joke to come in dressed as a character from our favorite TV show. However, I'd dressed in normal work clothes. I’m the boss. FML

Today, my workplace was having a "prices are down" promotion. I had to wear a badge that said, "Down and staying down" all day, opening myself up to a lot of weirdos winking at me or saying, "Oh yeah, I bet you are". FML

Today, my boss called me into his office and bitched me out for a good half hour for my attitude to our customers. Apparently I always look pissed off and sound sarcastic. That's just my face at rest. FML

Today, at my new job at a funeral home, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't "lighten the hell up" while dealing with our grieving clients. 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, 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, after I've spent years cultivating my reputation at work as a hardass who's good to his team, as long as they're competent and own up to mistakes, my mother came as a customer and suddenly I'm a kid all over again. She even tried to pat my head and ask if I'm eating enough. Now my team all keep smirking at me. FML

Today, I overheard a conversation between coworkers, during which my name was mentioned, then, "and then I followed her around for a bit, but she didn’t do it again." Everyone laughed. I've no idea what I did that was so funny. FML

What do you mean you had to "deal with your boss" what do you want him/her to do, throw merchandise at the customers and tell them to leave the KING OF THE NORTH alone?

I can understand how that could get annoying but it's not the worst thing in the world. At least they're trying to be funny instead of being assholes like a lot of customers are.

My last name is Stark, so I know exactly how you feel.. if it isn't a comment about Game of Thrones, it's "Related to Iron Man, eh?"

Get a new nametag and change the last name on it to Doe, for a couple of new sets of puns. Also, better GoT than toilet jokes, no? At least I hope you haven't had to deal with that too. I hope it gets better at work for you, best of luck, op! And for those that are not familiar, a lot of people call their toilets John/Uncle John and going to the bathroom is visiting him.

Hi Wenzdae, I'm Thursday. Meet me on Saturday and we'll have a date. That's something my dad used to say to me when I was young and I would start complaining that I'm thirsty. I used to put on this (I see it now) ridiculous childish voice and ended up pronouncing thirsty as "tursdy" sounds like Thursday. So he always said "Hi Thursday, in Friday. Meet me on Saturday and we'll have a date".

So you're saying FML because a few customers cracked some jokes? YDI for being such a pessimist. Could be worse, ya know.

My name is Billy D. My name tag said as much. I paid for replacement tags with my legal name (William) to stop the Eddie Murphy-esqe "Billy D! Billy D!" Chants all day.
