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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

shame you can't spell 'cheque'

shame that you haven't a) read the previous posts explaining this, or b) noticed yourself that the OP is from Florida, where the proper spelling is "check."

YDI for not having any friends who could loan you $20 for two hours.

Uh, have to point out the obvious here, but how did you manage to get to this job to earn this check? And if this isn't a first check from a new job, then YDI for not knowing you were owed money / had a check outstanding from a prior job that you didn't pick up for 5 months. Finally, as has been said before yes, you can call or email them to ask them to mail it to you, or figure out any of a number of other obvious ways to get the money.

I was in the same situation once. I ended up having to siphon gas. Don't judge.
