Today, I had a fever of 104 degrees (Fahrenheit). As a result, I stayed home from work. I took a photo of my thermometer as proof to my boss that I had an excuse for missing work. He emailed me back, saying that he didn't believe me and that I was fired. FML.

I would like to know why Fahrenheit needed to be specified. You can't have a fever of 104 degrees Celsius or kelvin

Yes 104 is dangerous (I work in the hospital) but it should have never gotten that high. We always tell people to come in if it reaches 101.4 if it gets higher than that it could take you a long time to recover. So I am with you on this. On another note OP why the hell did you not go into the doctor. You are playing with your life here. And your boss can't fire you for that. Go to HR and let them know. It's wrongful termination and you can sue them for it

You didn't deserve that at all and your boss sounds like a jerk. On the other hand though, you could have easily faked it, so it best to actually go to the doctor and get a slip. Please feel better soon!

I had a 104 degree before. My eyes watered and I felt like i was wrapped in ice. I hope you get better soon, rest well, DRINK ALOT OF WATER. And I'm sorry about your job, you'll probably fond a better one. I have hope in it. Get better soon and good luck

Today, I took a girl on a date. This girl is tiny, about 4 ft 10 and petite. She ordered a 16 inch pizza, garlic bread, wings, fries, and multiple drinks, and damn if she didn’t eat every bite of it, it was impressive. Until we were screwing later and she vomited the whole meal down my chest. FML

Today, my parents were out so I invited my girlfriend over. It was the afternoon, and things started to heat up. We were having sex, and I was about to finish. Then I looked through the window, to see a construction worker (who was fixing the house next to mine) giving me a thumbs up. He's her dad. FML

Today, my boyfriend keeps mentioning how well his new job pays, while I don’t have any income. He then got upset when I expected him to pay for the groceries I got on my way to his new place. What I bought was stuff I needed so I could cook for him, and for me to eat while I’m there, cleaning and fixing stuff for him. FML

Today, I found out from some guy that he and my wife had been having an affair for over year. She confessed to everything, and said they had already broken it off. She also admitted that she would've never mentioned it to me if I'd never found out on my own. FML

Today, my lazy, spoiled brat of a daughter screwed up her third job interview in the past month. She keeps self-sabotaging by asking the employers about the pay and benefits, and if she doesn’t like it, she walks out on them. Then she rants on how nobody wants to hire her. Gee, I wonder why? FML

Today, I took my two kids to a Christmas festival with a train theme. I spent $24 on conductor hats for them. When I gave them the hats, they threw them on the ground and put the red paper bags they came in on their heads. FML

Today, I was driving my twin daughters to school, when I accidentally honked my horn. I told them it was an accident, then one of my kids said she already knew, because I didn't yell "ASSHOLE!" afterwards. FML
