What a dick of a boss, Really. I don't think I would have been able to bite my tongue at that. I hope you told him where to go.

LOL! Everyone keeps commenting on how shitty the boss is while I still can't get past the whole "cutting the pad of your thumb off"....that's horrific!! I can't imagine doing that! Totally sucks dude!

People... people... I'm pretty sure when #7 said your boss is a fag he wasn't referring to his sexual pref. 90% of the time people use the word "fag" to refer to a jerk, tool, jackass, etc... On a side note: a little trivia fact, 74% of all statistics are made up on the spot! lol as for number 14 clearly all ****'s are not in their right mind or they would like girls! Ha... lol that was a little joke, I actually have nothing against gay people! (more girls for me) :) OP your boss is a dick! (before anybody responds I'm not saying he is actually a large penis, just that he acts like a mean person)

Oh, that's awful. I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope you find a better job soon. My managers are asses, too. Maybe we can job-hunt together...

Poster here: For clarification: I had to sign an accident report for the company's insurance; the workman's comp stuff was basically covering my trip to the clinic, nothing shady or anything. (That, and we only get 300 characters for FMLs, "WC papers" was the shortest way to describe that process, cut me some slack.) To the genius of #15, yes, I lost a considerable amount of blood in a very short amount of time; remember, this was a cheese slicer, which means the blade was a) extremely sharp and spinning and b) extremely contaminated, and the cut itself was angled and quite deep; bandaids weren't doing it, buddy, and before first aid could be applied, the wound had to be cleared of contaminants, and bleeding doesn't arbitrarily stop during that process. Feel free to cut your own thumb in this manner and find out for yourself. I have quit. I really loved the work and my co-workers, but this kind of ruined it for me. Incidentally, my former manager is, in fact, a homosexual. That doesn't have anything especially to do with the story so I didn't waste space on it, but given the comments, I just want to put that out there. He was actually gay. Thanks for making me feel better about this, guys. :) I needed that. F my life.

My response, "I quit!"

Seriously, time to get a new job. I know the job market really sucks right now (at least in the U.S.) but you don't have to put up with that.

#44: That's what I'm trying to get at. People should STOP using a term to mean "homosexual" when they mean "loser" or "stupid" or whatever. It's basically saying that anyone who is homosexual is a loser or stupid, etc. Every time you hear someone call someone else a "fag" in the way that #7 did, replace "fag" with the N-word. And imagine how that equates stupidity and being a loser to Black people. It's the same concept, and it needs to stop.

If you really needed your job, you would have said yes and apologized. Pay more attention next time.

OP - He must have been one of those bitchy gays, the kind not even Kathy Griffin likes. #23/49 - Suck it up. The more we dissociate the word "fag" from homosexuals the better.
