Today, I had organised to go for an all day fishing trip, but had forgotten to book a day off. I called my boss and told him that I had to stay with my mum in hospital after a car crash that she had last night. He called me a liar and fired me. Turns out my mum is having an affair with my boss. FML

Today, I was making the daily commute to work when suddenly my mother calls me, crying that there's been a death in the family, then abruptly hangs up. I speed home, to find my mother holding the tiny corpse of a fish that she got 2 weeks ago. I got fired for being late to work. FML

Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". 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

YDI. Maybe mama can 'persuade' your boss to let you work again?

lol Gotta love how everyone here is acting all high and mighty, as if they've never lied to get out of work or school or anything. Bitches. My fiance once called my roommates work to get him back home so he could go to a hockey game with him and the boys. He told them that I was in the hospital, and he needed to come ASAP. Big flippin deal.

#3, calm down. Everyone lies. And it is his business if his mum and dad are still together. Anything that affects your life is your business, and your mum having an affair that could lead to your parents splitting up definitely falls into that category.

You should have just called in sick. I did that once when I went to a Pussycat Dolls concert.

You kind of deserve it for lying at all but I didn't give you a YDI because everyone lies once in a while and well, usually get away with it unlike you did. You couldn't have seen that coming.

Why didn't you just say you had the flu and were worried that it might be swine flu so you'd like to stay home for the day to see if it was just a 24 hour thing?
