Today, I'm so broke that I had to call in sick to work because I couldn't afford to pay my bus fare. FML

Today, I'm so broke that I had to get a refund for my unopened hummus, just so I'd be able to afford the bus fare to get to work tomorrow. FML

Today, I had to take a taxi to work, because I was pressed for time, and didn't have a ride there. When I got to work, I paid the cab driver, and realized I had spent more money on the cab than I was going to make at work. FML

Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML

Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML

Today, despite getting to the bus stop early, the first bus didn’t turn up. The second one was late, and severe traffic caused me to be late for work. I can’t afford for my wages to be docked from this. FML

Today, I went to work only to serve one table, make a $9.00 tip, get sent home because it was slow, have the city busses stop running because of weather, and have to pay a $20 cab fare to get home. FML

Burgers? In this economy?
Today, I was hungry and I was trying to buy the cheapest burger at Wendy's, but I'm so broke that I had to call my friends to lend me some money. Ugh. FML

Today, after months of searching I finally got a job interview. Too bad I didn't have enough money to buy a bus ticket to get there. FML

Walk loser.

so now next payday you'll miss three days work, because your check is smaller, and runs out earlier. next time walk.

you do realize that commute with car or bus happens because the distance is not a walking distance! duh!

#102 or because people are lazy, or its easier. i drive to work even though i could walk. distance is not the only factor of catching public transport.

So instead of walking to work or trying to find an alternative to get to work you decide not to go into work which will leave you short of funds next month due to a day off. Op should invest in a bike, save him money and keep him fit in the long run ?

Seems like you gotta figure shit out. calling out of work is going to help put money in your bank account.

Everyone saying OP should walk to work isn't considering something vital - not everyone lives and works in the same town. Many people these days travel great distances to get to their jobs, some in towns an hour away. OP probably doesn't live in walking distance or he would have surely done so.

I used to live somewhere very rural. No public transportation. I actually had to quit a few jobs because I didn't get paid enough to cover gas back and forth, or car insurance. That sucks. I'm sorry. Things will get better.

Look into a monthly bus pass. It might be less expesive than paying bus fare every day or 5 days a week. Best of luck to you.

That sucks but you probably should've walked or asked for a ride. You'll never get ahead if you don't go. Ya know?
