Today, after drinking myself to an oblivion, I awoke with a massive hangover. I didn’t want to go to work, but every excuse I came up with in my head screamed of alcoholics. When I arrived, my boss asked me why I was there. It was my day off. FML

The day after

Today, I went to work completely hung over. I was at my desk for 5 minutes before security threw me out on my ass. Apparently, I’m hung over because I got fired yesterday and got blackout drunk, completely forgetting that I had been fired. FML

Happy birthday to me

Today, it’s my birthday. My boss treated me to a day off work, except my mother called at 12:01am drunk as hell screaming, “Happy birthday” down the phone. When I finally fell back asleep, I awoke to my boss asking me to come in after all. FML

Not funny, guys

Today, I accidentally fell asleep at work after working a 12-hour shift. Instead of waking me up, my coworkers spiked my coffee mug with whiskey and told my boss I was drunk. My boss wouldn't even listen to my side of the story and fired me. FML

Today, I arrived at my internship at 7 am after three hours of sleep with a massive hangover. When I got there, my boss told me he had made a mistake and I was meant to come in next week. He then said, "Well, now that you're here, you might as well get some work done. Come in next week as well." FML

Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML

It's all my fault

By Anonymous - 18/08/2011 07:42 - United States

Today, I was sitting in my cubicle at work, nursing a hangover, and thinking how stupid I was for getting so shit-faced last night. I then realized that I was voicing my thoughts out loud, and the whole office had gone quiet, listening to me castigate myself. FML

Any excuse

Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML

Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML

Can't handle it

Today, I feel hung over. Don’t feel up to anything except slouching on the sofa, nursing my headache. Must have been one hell of a party, lots of booze, right? Actually, all I did was go to bed at 11:30 last night, instead of my usual 8.30. FML

Today, I went to the game with my boss and some people he does business with on his tab. I got so drunk that I blacked out, threw up all over the table, and passed out in the bathroom. I woke up alone with my body reeking of vomit, and no phone. FML

In fact, that's probably why you decided to get shitfaced the previous night in the first place.

At least, you can go home and take the #1 cure for hangover: Gettin’ drunk again!

It was Dublin in the United States (I know there’s a Dublin, Ohio). I, too, thought this was going to be an easy drunk Irishman joke.

It’s a good thing you weren’t still drunk or the only response your liquor-addled brain would have given you would be “I just came here to let you know that I fffucking love you, I really fffucking do. I love you, you’re my fffavourite fffucking person ever you!” Instead.

Only voting YDI for setting an alarm for work when you're off. Usually when I drink the night before work I awake thinking its the weekend and that I'm off - completely forgetting for a moment that I do have adult obligations on a Friday.

Making sense of this if you had to work the next day why drink that much?

Hey man good for you for sucking it up and going in to begin with anyway! I know too many folks who would have just called in. Glad you had the day off though! :)
