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, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me.

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

Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML

Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML

Your boss is a pussy. He should do it himself.

At least she will have plenty of free time to go on a date with you.

Never fish off the company pier. Bad- BAD idea. But since she got fired, she's fair game.

Explain that it's your boss that made you do it, then offer to take her out for drinks so both of you can talk about how much the boss sucks.

Probably the best way to handle this situation I think. Be willing to offer a recommendation and help her find a new job and it will probably be a win.

Tell her that you're firing her professionally, but you would like to start a personal life with her.

At least she has some free time & could use a free meal! If she declines, just offer her cash to go out with you

#33, what new taxes? Most tax breaks are continued permanently, in fact 99% of them, and about 80% of the revenue. Nevertheless, if the employers think that there are going to be higher taxes I can see why they would fire people for that reason. OnT: My suggestion: ask the boss to do it since you want to ask the girl out, when she's sad, offer her some comfort over coffee or similar and you're in. So long as you stay out of the friendzone, that is.

Has no one ever told you? "Don't dip your pen in company ink" Apply it ... It would make your situation a lot less awkward!

Today, I was upset after my boyfriend and I broke up. My best friend heard and told me she would be right over. Three hours of waiting later, she stumbles in wasted. She had been at the bar, with my ex, making sure he was okay. For me, I just got a list of all the drinks she had that night. FML

Today, I looked outside and I saw that my new car had been snowed on. Sadly the snow had frozen onto the car, so I spent the entire day getting it off. I came inside. By 8pm, my car had snow all over it again, and this time I left the window open. FML

Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. FML
