Today, as I was driving to work, I got a flat tire. While attempting to replace said tire, I got mugged. The guy took all my money, my iPod, cellphone, and CDs. When I finally called my boss to explain my situation, he fired me. Why? Because I was late and had an "overactive imagination." FML

Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML

Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML

Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Long walk home

Today, I got locked out of a building that I work in (I work night shifts). I locked my phone, wallet, and car keys in the building. I had no way of contacting my boss or getting a ride. I had to walk home at night, almost got hit by a car full of dudes yelling slurs, and had a woman scream at me from the passenger seat of a car. FML

Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML

Today, I was robbed while working overnight at the gas station. They demanded I give them all the cash in the register. Seeing they were armed, I was reduced to tears and complied. They mocked me and took a video with their cellphone. When I told my boss, he promptly fired me for not “fighting back.” FML

Today, I got into a bad car accident, where I got severe whiplash, swollen knees, and cuts everywhere. I called my boss to let him know I wouldn't be able to make it in and he fired me for being 'not dependable'. FML

Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML

She said when she 'finally called her boss', meaning when she found a place with a phone or asked someone so she could call. OP, your boss is a jackass for not believing in you. FYL

If this actually happened, then you would have needed to file a police report. Take that police report into your boss and demand your job back.

Ok, I believe this FML and everything, but the only thing is, if your phone was stolen, how did u call ur boss?

This is definitely a fml moment but I doubt your boss actually thinks you have an overactive imagination. He probably just said that in place of "You're lying/a liar." While it's understandable that you didn't have the means to get to him, maybe if you actually went and explained to him in person what happened he'd be more sympathetic. You really should have waited until you got a police report and show it to your boss.

Actually I don't think your boss can fire you like that. If you filed a police report when the incident happened then you could show it to your boss and if he still fired you then you could probably take him to court.

PHffffttt Bosses can fire anyone they want for any reason they want. Ya, she COULD take him to court, for a LOT of $$$... and end up w/ a job where she's not wanted... I'm sure the boss would make her work hours a living hellhole.

That sucks...yet I can't believe it for some odd reason. Wouldn't you see the person coming to mug you while changing the tire? No? Maybe it's just me I see just about everything it's like I have eyes in the back of my head. But seriously, WTF man...That's not even funny that sucks. File a police report and hopefully your stuff comes back! ..Eventually..

Let's say she sees the mugger. What can she do about it?

your boss probably already wanted you gone...and if someone wants to mug you, fight them, most muggers don't want to move up to assault. good job failing

Your post made me realize she (sorta) says she got mugged while changing a tire... which means she had a tire iron in her hand... not a very likely mugging target!! I weep for our future when I read all you douches that can't comprehend how she called the boss after her cellphone was stolen. Maybe the police let her use their phone when she was filing the police-report?!?
