Today, I didn't feel like going to work, so I called in sick. Five hours later while out shopping, I got hit by a car at a crosswalk. Now I'm laid-up in the local hospital, really wishing I was with the guys at work. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got hit by a car walking to work. My first thought wasn't to call 911 or my husband, but to call work to let them know I wouldn't be able to make it in for my shift. FML
Today, I got hit by a car while walking into the hospital to visit my wife, who had also gotten hit by a car. FML
Today, I got rear-ended while on my way to work. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't pregnant, suffering from a horrible UTI, and running a fever. My boss called in sick, so now I'm stuck running the office alone. With whiplash. FML
Today, I was riding an electric scooter on my way to work when a car sped out of a driveway and hit me. Not only did I end up in hospital, but I missed my job on the second day back. FML
Today, while driving to work, an idiot pulled out of a junction without looking and wiped me out. I'm now in hospital with two broken legs, looking at employment pages because I didn't give work "enough notice" about my absence. FML
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML
Today, I found out that my boss was actually legally obligated to send me to the hospital after I was hit on the head while working. I had to finish the entire work day while heavily concussed, and by the time I got to the ER I had lost complete feeling in my right side. They asked me to come in the day after. FML
Today, the day before I was supposed to go back to work after I got sick, ended up in the hospital, and primary doctor put me on medical leave, I got fired. FML
Today, after three weeks in the hospital for a lung infection, I was released. On the way home, another car ran a red light and T-boned my car. Back to the hospital I go. FML
Today, I was legitimately sick so I called in to work. Apparently, 4 other guys on my line called in too. My boss thought we planned it. Now we're all written up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good luck explaining to your boss why you were out shopping and getting hit by cars when you were supposed to be "sick".

Everyone needs a day of break every once in awhile and thats okay. Just don't make a habit out of it.

So take up a free day, don't call in sick. Its not OP's boss fault that he doesn't feel like working.

Not every job gives you free days. Mine doesn't, I get sick days and vacation days, and vacation days have to be submitted and approved beforehand.

I think you are lucky, at least you are alive. Heal up soon.

Get well soon, OP, but YDI completely. It's okay to have a day if when you're having a not-so-well mentality; don't make it a habit though (and don't lie). ;)

Those ppl that clicked YDI suck. Who can honestly say they have never ever called in sick? It's just bad luck OP

I've only called in sick when I'm actually too sick to go to work. I have never and will never call out just because I don't want to go to work.
