The thread title, I caught my ass boss bad-mouthing me, makes me wonder. How is it you have someone in charge of your ass? 
Thanks, all, for your input and some rather unorthodox replies. 
Here's an update. The situation at work has been resolved, at least for now. My boss called me into his office this morning after the HR department contacted him. I told him what I overheard (or thought I heard) and how I felt about it, and he said that it was taken out of context. In his defense, either he denied it, or he was changing his story, but I wasn't convinced. I was positive he was questioning my motives.
So he called in Supervisor #2 from yesterday's meeting, and I asked if S2 got the impression that my boss had said anything bad about me, and S2 replied in the negative. Of course, he didn't exactly repeat what I overheard, only that he didn't remember my boss bad-mouthing me in any way. I could've opted to call in the two other "witnesses" who were present at the meeting, but I decided not to put them in an awkward situation.
In any case, after further clarification I decided not to pursue the matter, and it was suggested that the whole thing be forgotten and put behind us. So after kissing my ass and telling me what a "wonderful" guy I was, my boss shook hands with me and the meeting was over. I still don't trust him for some reason. He can be very duplicitous and deceitful.
I wasn't listening in on their conversation; the office door might as well have been swung wide open, and I didn't need super auditory senses, either.
Management wants to set a standard for ALL employees, not just me, and I can totally understand that.
Wherever did you get that idea? I don't pretend to be a saint or the paragon of a perfect employee. As I was very angry, those words did cross my mind. But don't worry, I have no intention of ever harming him. That's not me.
Since this hasn't been brought up yet... Maybe you should just be working at your desk and paying attention to your work instead of eating and 'overhearing' other people's conversations.
I manage a team of people and my philosophy about sick time is that as long as they are using their accrued leave time and not in leave without pay, and they have sufficient documentation to support their sick time when necessary, i'm ok with it. Yes, productivity can suffer from time to time, but I've rarely had issues with people abusing their sick time.
If you're a business owner or a manager, you have a right to feel that way, just as represented employees have a right to fair labor practices and collective bargaining. I work for a flexible and "family-friendly" municipal organization (or at least the management says so), and I imagine this idea must be foreign for most people working in the private sector. Scheduled breaks, lunch breaks, day-offs, and vacation times can be negotiated with one's superior as long as workload isn't affected. I understand how excessive absences can affect overall productivity and employee morale; I'm not debating any of that.
P.S. RAMA, for the record, I haven't had any sick days in several months, as my overall fitness level has improved over the summer. I still go to the doctor and the dentist for regular appointments and check-ups; that's a given.
Never go ass to mouth. Especialy with your boss.
The only beefs I have are about co-workers or anyone else that ignores you or the job, in favor of having their cellphones surgically grafted to their faces. The only thing that would irk me is abuse of sick leave & the one abusing it, refusing to pro-actively decide if its better for them (the employee,) to find a better tailor-made (on-call,) job that's right for them. Forcing the employer to work around you, or, risk litigation over wrongful dismissal.
Either leave on your own or get no sympathy from everyone else that still has a job, that have to function around (and/or despite,) the always-sick employee when the always-sick employee gets fired. The rest of us are more than happy to get the additional hours (the always-sick employee) is going to leave behind, in a screwy minimum-wage economy.

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it's forgivable.
Drone, I think it was a mistake not to speak to your manager about it (with the union or HR rep present if you felt it necessary). Regardless of whether he thinks his opinions are valid or not, he shouldn't be speaking ill you in front of other subordinates like that. I think you should have confronted him on that. It doesn't necessarily mean he'll stop, but hopefully he'll at least be more conscious of when and where he makes such comments in the future.
And you knock these kinds of responses off or you'll get a warning. Way too many of your posts around the board consist of smarmy one liners intended to piss people off. That, plus quoting the entirety of a huge post just to get in a one line response is obnoxious.

Great, a mod on this board condones ass-to-mouth.
Ass Boss ... Maybe I should've gone for Boss Ass. Is he a Boss of the Ass or a Boss of Asses?
I don't disagree with anyone who thinks abuse of sick leave is unacceptable in the workplace, but what about those people who are actually sick or have chronic medical conditions? Is it a crime to go get a flu shot, have a mammogram done, or take one's child to the doctor when he/she is ill or injured? Under CA law (according to a sexual harassment and discrimination class I once took), it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a person on the basis of medical condition. If management wants to crack down on people who abuse sick leave, that's their prerogative, but it shouldn't go any further than that.
How do you think he became a mod?
Of course I do. Can you imagine how quiet this board would be if posters weren't allowed to talk out of their ass?
Don't ask, don't tell is still in effect, right?
Well... if it was me id have kicked that door so hard it would have blasted off the hinges and soared in his direction, then id have firmly planted my first in his nose.
(I have done it before, shockingly i kept my job for having the ballz to do it).
seondly if you wanna get your boss good, if it's a guy, cut some ads out of a classified section of a gay magazine and sneaks the clippings into his coat or w/e
will be amusing when his wife goes to do laundry and look what falls out......
xD

I'm really surprised by how many people on jumping on the boss when we don't even have the slightest hint as to what this evil boss did. All we know is that he says Drone brings candies to work and he's looking into people who are abusing sick leave. That's it. Oh, and he might have possibly been, if Drone heard him correctly a dozen feet away through a door, implying that Drone maybe was abusing sick leave.
I'm not going to start coming up with torture methods for this guy based on a conversation Drone barely overheard through a door when we have no idea as to what the context of the conversation was.

Is this a reading comprehension issue or you haven't been paying attention?
First -- what? First born? First dollar? First grade school award?
Did what? Kicked a door off of the hinges and the firmly "planted your first" in someone's nose? What are "ballz?
Let's think about this. That would entail said employee having to procure a gay magazine
That wouldn't look good if said employee were caught with it. The same holds true if said employee were caught trying to sneak said pictures into the boss' coat pockets Also, what is a "w/e"? That's based on the assumption the boss is A) married, or B) gay.
Based on this feeble trolling, you should think things through a bit better before posting.
While John Picard probably should have :: ahem :: notified, he is correct in that you're above example could very easily be seen as trolling. Just be mindful of comments like this in the future, DigitalLonestar.
You must have never had an asshole boss before.
