Today, I finally put the finishing touches on my first vacation in over two years, due to my hellish work schedule. The Governor essentially just vetoed my vacation with evacuation orders. Thanks, Hurricane Irene. FML

Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML
Today, I have to reschedule the vacation I had planned for eight months because I have the flu, and feel too sick to go and enjoy myself at a waterpark. This vacation is the only thing that's kept me sane these last two months. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I returned from my first paid vacation in the past 2 years from a place with no cell, or internet. I've just found out that our department has been downsized. FML
Today, it's only day three of my annual vacation. Rest and relaxation? Afraid not! For the past days, I've been haunted by the constant thought of how much work will be piled up when I get back. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, after a year and a half of overexploitation at work without getting paid for it, I can finally have a deserved vacation. Why? I caught Covid. FML
Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML
Today, it's the end of hard month: renovations, on top of kids' vacation, on top of cancelled camps, on top of cat with diarrhea. The thing waiting for me this weekend is the work assignment my boss gave me an hour before business closed on Friday, and wrapping up contractors shoddy work. FML
Today, while working security at a welfare office, I had to listen as a claimant gushed about her upcoming Caribbean cruise. I work two jobs and haven't had a vacation since 2006. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be like my friend. He's on vacation in the Outer Banks and decided he isn't leaving until Sunday when he had planned to leave, no matter what.

I live in south Louisiana. Katrina sucked. They literally forgot about my town for over a week. So like, we didn't have water, ice, food, etc for over a week until they got here. Then no power for over a month. I sure hope Irene isn't as bad as Katrina was because I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

well...people should have left before Katrina arrived in Louisiana. You know how hard it was for them to access parts hit hard by Katrina? They tried their best to get people who just did not want to leave when they were told they should. Im sorry to sound blunt...but thats how i feel. Also, how would you still be alive without water for a week? You die after 3 days without water usually.

I can't get over this FML. boo hoo my vacation is ruined. Well my family lives on the Outer Banks and they are fleeing for their lives knowing that there is a possibility that when they come back their home and everything they own might be gone forever. All the while you are sitting safe at home. I feel SO sorry for you. And those saying they are staying at their vacation house out of principle: Thanks for endangering the lives of firefighters and other EMT employees who will have to risk their lives to save you because you didn't folllow MANDATORY orders. One of those might have to be my father. I can't believe people these days.
