Today, I asked my boss to pay me for the only 2 sick days I had taken in 6 months, but he didn't want to. I reminded him that it's the law now in Germany, even for part-time work, so he said OK. Two hours later, he fired me. One week before my probationary period was up. FML

Today, my boss was telling everyone his mother recently passed away and he'll be off work for a while. I'd been holding in painful gas for a while, so I tried to ease it out. It turned into a long, squeaky fart in front of everyone. Everyone glared at me as if I was trying to be funny. FML

Today, I went on a date with a really cute guy. Things were going great, so we went to his place. While he was in the bathroom, I absentmindedly looked around his apartment. Unfortunately, his living room cupboard was half open, and I saw a shrine of pictures of me. Apparently, he's been stalking me for months. FML

That sucks, but it's the risk that you take for putting your head above the parapet during a probationary period. might be better to find out what sort of boss you have sooner rather than later, though.

You do not know what sickness they had, You are lucky you have not been sick in that amount of time but it is not entitlement to have to take a sick day here and there. In fact, it is stupidity not to if you will spread sickness across the workplace causing productivity to fall.
