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

Never enough

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

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 trying to skip school, smartass.

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...

YDI for being a selfish egocentric asshole. Are you capable of giving more than a microsecond of consideration to anybody other than your ignorant self? Did you think about what you put your dad through for your lie?

I bet that the majority of people that said "YDI" have probably tried the same thing.

Do you think that going home early with a fake sore throat is the road to whatever future you imagine for yourself? Lazy, uninspired, bored losers are a dime a dozen. Any kid that cannot figure out how to cut class doesn't show much potential. And your Dad, who probably knew how to cut class back in the day, did he take time off work to go collect your candy ass and fake sore throat from school? More points against you. I am glad to know that there are still some up and coming losers around. Bored, uneducated and too dim to cut class = Unskilled laborer or criminal. Do us all a favor and don't become a burden to the tax base. You might try looking at what all school has to offer and get involved so you are not so bored. Who knows, you might make some friends, learn some social skills and actually like school? Nah, you and your fake sore throat are way too cool for that, right?

I skipped all the time and still made good grades and I was in a really hard private school. Skipping does not equal failure. I'm about to graduate college and I can't remember the last time I made it through a whole week without skipping a class somewhere. I'm skipping my first class of the day right now. I just got a job offer for my dream job on Saturday too so clearly skipping school doesn't make you a worthless bum. People will be worthless bums in life whether they skip or not.
