Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was training for my new job at a restaurant. As part of training, they give you free food so you know what to recommend, and the dish I got was really good. Eight hours later I saw it again while I was puking. I got food poisoning from my own workplace. FML
Today, I didn't feel like cooking when I got home from work, so I decided to go to the local restaurant nearby and do my part in supporting small businesses. Long story short, I woke up later feeling like absolute shit. Hello, food poisoning. FML
Today, I got food poisoning from a restaurant that I had chosen for our company party. Everyone who went blamed me for their predicament. I also had to run to the toilet every ten minutes while they were all mad at me. FML

Today, the day before I was supposed to go back to work after I got sick, ended up in the hospital, and primary doctor put me on medical leave, I got fired. FML
Today, I have food poisoning. My boss told me that if I didn't come into work, I'd be fired. Not 30 minutes after sitting down, I sneezed and shat my pants. My boss still won't let me leave. FML
Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML
Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML

it takes about a week for food poisoning to kick in, bug chances are that's where you ate a week ago anyway.

Not possible idiot, it takes 3 days for food poisoning to take effect. there's no way you would feel the effects the next day.

At #88 HACCP certified chef, here. You are inccorect! While it is true that food poisoning will OFTEN take around three days to manifest, there are certainly kinds that will make you violently ill right away! In fact, generally those are the kind bad enough to send you to the hospital. This is because most food poisoning is caused by a fairly small amount of bacteria allowed to grow on the food, which find some kind of refuge in your stomach and multiply over the course of several days. However, if the source of the food poisoning is chemical in nature (food was contaminated by a cleaning agent, food was allowed to sit out SO long that the bacteria produced so much toxin it killed itself off, that sort of thing), the negative effects will begin to appear much faster. In addition, there are some kind of foodborne bacteria (such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus or Vibrio vulnificus (the bacterias famously found in raw oysters)) that, for whatever reason (I honestly don't know why, I just know it's so), are so particularly offensive they will affect a person right away even if contamination is minimal. You're welcome!
