Today, after five months of not working, I have a check waiting for me at the office. Too bad the office is in another city. My gas tank is empty, and I have no money to put gas in my car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after ten months of carpooling or borrowing my mom's car to get to work, and saving money, I finally have a brand new car. However, I have nowhere to go, besides work, and everyone I know is busy or lives out of state. FML
Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML
Today, I DoorDashed after work to make money for gas because I spent all my money on test prep. My tank is almost empty but I made enough to buy a full tank to get me to work. Turns out the DoorDash card does not work at the pump and I have to wait a week for it to deposit. I'm currently counting coins. I get paid monthly. FML
Today, it has been 57 hours since I have last had food. The fridge is empty. The freezer is empty. The pantry is empty. Even my bank account is empty because my pay has been delayed. Again. FML
Today, I was sent to a customer's house to switch out a washing machine. My boss had assured me that everything I'd need was already in the truck. Halfway there, I ran out of gas and I realized I didn't have the gas card. My boss says it's my fault. FML
Today, marks the two weeks since my paycheck should have arrived. During these two weeks, my battery has failed, tire has blown, and my phone and water bill have become past due. When I called the guy who's supposed to pay me, he said he has a note about it "somewhere on my desk". FML
Today, getting home from a long day at work, I checked the mail and saw three envelopes from the IRS. Apparently I now owe over $4,000. I only have $2 in my bank account. FML
Today, I need money to fix my car, I need my car to get to work, and I need work to get money. FML
Today, I went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML
Today, after closing down the gas station I work at, I went to unlock the door to the building. Turned out the lock broke and I was locked inside until my boss could get there to let me out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You could ride the bus, get a ride over, bike (if it's not TOO far), ask them to mail it. A number of things.

Mail it? Catch a bus? Jesus. It's not that complicated, is it?

Or you could... "STOP PAYING FOR INTERNET on which you obviously have time to waste and whine on... and save enough cash to fill YOUR GODDAMN CAR? Of course this is entirely consequal to the fact that nobody likes you enough to lend you gas money to fetch... money you could use to pay them back in a very soon fashion. **** your life indeed my friend...NOT.

I'm so ******* sick of people saying "Obviously you can afford internet so whatever money problem you have isn't valid" I will say this again, but this time in caps, since apparently, no one ever listens to this when its in regular print. NOT EVERYONE WHO USES THE INTERNET ACTUALLY OWNS A COMPUTER OR PAYS FOR THE INTERNET. THERE ARE THESE LOVELY LITTLE PLACES CALLED LIBRARIES WHERE THEY HAVE COMPUTERS AND INTERNET, AND USUALLY ALL YOU NEED TO USE ONE, IS AN ADDRESS IN THE AREA. Also, they could be at a friends or neighbors house.

Maybe they are at the library or something using the computer and internet there. Dont be so rude and jump to conclusions like that you dont even know op. They could be at a friends or a couple other places where op could be using the internet.

well you musn't get them very often because you can't even spell the flippin word it's cheque not check. Your life must suck if you can't spell the way that you get paid. Or you could get them to pay you the way half of the world gets paid....directly into your bank!!!!!

I'm pretty sure we spell it "check," in the US.

and not all jobs offer direct deposit. I work for a small business and direct deposit is not available there.

you are either British or Aussie. get your head outta your arse. Check is how it is spelled here in the US, Aussies like me learned to spell it "cheque", but since I live here in the US I spell it "check" way to show the world how dumb you are!

@#64. Your name is crazyfunnycool, but you don't look Hispanic, so where'd you get it? My Dad used to call me that when I was little! Gracias!
hijueputa 0
ahh poor you, no little kid should be called that by a parent. As for myself, no, I am not Hispanic, but my boyfriend is from Costa Rica, and the name is just a little private joke we have...
Eddie_Paints 0
He just used it as a term of endearment he wasn't being mean. Costa Rica cool! I was born here in the states but both my parents were born in P.R. Puerto Rico!

out of work? No wonder! Most employers prefer someone WITH A ******* BRAIN!!! Stupid shit doesn't deserve a paycheck if he can't even figure out how to get it.

Your job doesn't offer direct deposit? They'll mail the check to you eventually, so don't worry about it.
