Today, I made an excuse and didn't turn up at work. Little did I know my boss did the same. We both bumped into each other at the shopping centre across town. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I snuck out of work 2 hours early. As I was speeding away so I wouldn't be seen, I rear-ended my boss as he was leaving the lower parking lot for a late lunch. FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I sneaked off work early. As I was in the elevator on the way down to leave, it stopped at my boss's floor, and he got in. FML
Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML
Today, I found out my co-worker had made plans for a night out, just as I'd cancelled all of mine to work with him on a project for the next 4 hours. FML
Today, I got roped into work on my day off because the two new guys weren't showing up. My boss promised that I would get tomorrow off if I did, so I said okay. However, as soon as I came in and got all ready to go, guess who came in? FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML
Today, I went in to work and was handed a write-up for having lied about being sick in order to leave early yesterday. Apparently, a co-worker saw me leave the parking lot, then immediately pull into the shopping center next door. I was going to Walgreens for cold medicine. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick me up from work. We work at the same place. FML

This is why when you play hooky you stay home.

That's why you don't go out if you're skipping work...

This is one of those "I won't tell if you won't tell" moments.

Did he write you up?

I mean, it's not like he can write you up or tell anyone about it for that matter. What is he going to say, "I was skipping work and I bumped into my employee at the mall who was skipping work as well." I'd say you're pretty much off the hook. But you still deserved the awkwardness for skipping work.

Well, now he can't fire you for ditching work.

All these people saying you're safe because he did it too are wrong. He's the boss and doesn't have to write how he caught you on the paperwork. However; if he didn't bitch you out on the spot, you're probably safe. He may give you a hard time about it, but it's not like you are on the clock stealing time and money from your work.

Busted!!! That's why when you fake a sick day. You stay home and chill out. Don't run errands or go shopping. Someone is bound to see you. YDI

Wait you didn't turn up? So you turned down? What in the world for?

You doubly deserve it as you live in the UK and we don't have Malls we have shopping centres
