Today, I had my first day off in weeks. I was excited about getting to sleep in, until my boss called me at 6:30 in the morning to remind me I didn't have to come into work. Thanks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, it was the first day of fall break from college, and I was really excited to sleep in and relax the entire weekend. Apparently my boss caught wind of my happiness and scheduled me 8am-2pm each day of break, "seeing how I don't have anything else to do." FML
Today, I wasn't sure if I would have to go to work. My mom told me the night before that she would wake me up if I had to. I woke up, and seeing that it was past the time I normally go to work, I happily assumed I got called off. That is, until I got a phone call from my boss asking me why I wasn't there yet. FML
Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I was excited to finally take a day off work and relax at home. However, as soon as I was on the couch to Netflix and chill with my cat, I got a call from my boss saying I was needed at the office to fix a major issue. I ended up spending the entire day at work and didn't get to enjoy my "day off." 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 was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, after having been off due to the holidays, I awoke to several missed calls and texts from my supervisor asking where I was. Fearing losing my job, I drove the entire 2-hour commute thinking I’d missed a day. I hadn't; he was just trying to get my weekly reports early. FML
Today, I worked 24 hours straight fixing my company's servers. After it was over, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and promptly fell asleep at my desk. My boss found me an hour later, refused to listen to me, and fired me for sleeping on the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My employees will call me at 3am on my day off to ask stupid questions, if it makes you feel better.

Not really that bad of a FML. Just go back to sleep.

when I was a teen, my dad would come into my room, turn on my lights and announce that it was Saturday when I was still asleep. it woke me up, but I just rolled over and dozed off some more.

My dad would just turn the tv on in my room and put it to a reasonable volume to wake me up. Although this was usually on weekdays. OP fyl I wouldn't be surprised if the call on purpose because they were jealous that you weren't coming into work. Some of my friends do that if I'm skipping school to sleep in.

So you lost 10 minutes before going back to sleep? Dude, if you think you have problems you need a reality check. Read some of the other stuff on here then try complaining about waking up at 6:30 then going right back to sleep... Stupidest FML I've ever read.

try reading the other comments before you post your own. you do realize some people can't go back to sleep after waking up, right? honestly, i hate people like you who don't know how to use their heads.

Then that's a whole new problem. Maybe they should post an FML like "For some reason if I wake up for 10 minutes, no matter how sleepy I am, I can't go back to sleep." That's your problem. Not your boss calling you. The boss did that so the guy wouldn't wake up, get ready, drive out there, and then realize he didn't have to come to work. That was a considerate thing to do. When you go to work every single day of every single week for months, it becomes a habit. the boss was looking out for him. and I hate people like you who try to defend stupid ass FMLs with retarded reasoning like "oh, he can't go back to sleep". take some nyquil and go back to sleep. Not that hard. Jesus christ you're stupid.

Nyquill is not designed to just be a sleep aid. And for insomniacs being woken up is extremely bad cause they already have a hard time sleeping. This is a FML cause OP deserved their one day off to sleep in. No where I know of has bosses calling people on their day off to remind them they have the day off.

This sounds oddly familiar to another FML

oh come on everyone, fml isn't a contest to see whose life sucks the most. it's just for shitty everyday moments, and this is a perfect one. it doesn't have to be tragic, in fact i think it's better if it's not- the point of this site is entertainment after all, and it's hard to laugh at "today my whole family died. fml". this is a classic fml- aggravating, slightly ironic, but not the end of the world.
