Today, to get back at me for our recent breakup, my ex put a "9/11 was an inside job!" bumper sticker on my car. I work for the government in New York City, and I just got a text saying that my manager wants to talk to me. FML

Today I got fired from a very promising new job where I made three times my previous salary from my previous job. Why? Because of a personal belonging, my bumper sticker that says, "How’s my driving? Call 1-800-EAT-SHIT." FML

Today, I dinged my boss's very expensive car. My car wasn’t damaged, so in a panic, I moved my car to another spot and said nothing. Less than an hour later, my boss showed me high definition security footage, so now I either cough up repair money I can’t afford, or I get fired. FML

Today, my extremely racist coworker was doing his usual thing. Since it was 9/11 he went absolutely hardcore on his "jokes" so I reported it to my supervisor. She asked what did he say specifically and I recited it to her. She decided to write me up for "making inappropriate comments at work". FML

Today, I was fired from the trucking company I work for, due to numerous complaints about my reckless driving. I don't even do driving work there, but my ex keeps calling in to report me, and my boss wanted the calls to stop. FML

Today, I was driving to work when I was almost hit by a teenage driver. I gave her the finger and shouted "F*** you!" making sure that she heard me. I then saw my boss glaring at me from the passenger seat. FML

The betrayal

By DoubleXed - 20/07/2022 04:00 - United States

Today, my newly ex-boyfriend, who is also my co-worker, threw me under the bus about our relationship, except he claimed it was a one-sided relationship. I offered to show the consensual texts between us, but he insisted it’s “Photoshopped.” I was fired anyway. FML

Tell your manager the truth. Get some sticker remover. It is sold at car parts stores. Sorry your ex is a jerk.

This should be easily resolved. Surely your manager isn't so stupid that he doesn't realize literally anyone could put a bumper sticker on your car. Although he does work for the government, so maybe....

“They” want you to stop telling the truth. So, are you MIHOP or LIHOP?

I hope the outcome doesn't turn into the other work FMLs where the OP gets fired for something that's not his/her fault.

Sounds like breaking up with the ex was a very wise move. What an asshole.

Time to have your boss talk to her boss...about harassing his/her employee, causing problems at his/her work, wasting his/her time, etc. Can you say "Backfire"?
