Today, I faked a sore throat for the school nurse so I could go home early. It took my dad the rest of the school day just to get there to pick me up. FML

Taking the piss

Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML

Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML

Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML

Today, I wanted to spend the day cleaning my room. My mom thinks that I was lying just to stay home, so she yelled at me to go to her shop. At the shop, she yelled at me for not being any help. When we got home she yelled at me for having a messy room. FML

Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML

Today, I finally got a date with one of the hottest girls in school, a perfect 10. Just before I go to pick her up to go to the movies, I called her to find out where she lives. She answered the phone, only to hear my father yelling in the background, "STOP TALKING TO THAT WHORE." FML

YDI for faking sick, but it'll suck to be you when you actually do get sick and it takes all day for your dad to pick you up. Not that this experience will motivate him to hurry in the future...

That was a normal thing back in my elementary days. Kids would give themselves hickeys on the arm after gym, faking an injury. I stooped to that level once lol.

He was correcting you on your usage of "your" dear. "Your" is the possessive, whereas the word you wanted to use was "you're" which is the contraction of you are.

Same thing happened to me in school a 100 years ago! Except, I really was sick! Ended up in the clinic all day! That was before cell phones but my Mom was home sleeping, not answering the phone!

My Mom couldn't reach the phone from under the milkman, mailman, fireman, delivery man and neighbor who works the night shift. Besides, I would be in the way. If she brought me home from school, what is she going to do? Invite all the neighborhood ladies over for coffee, tea and crumpets?
