Today, I was in a car accident on the way to work. I called my boss and told him I had to deal with the police and the accident report and didn't know how long it would take. He got mad and said I "should have picked a better time to do this". FML

Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML
Today, I got into a bad car accident, where I got severe whiplash, swollen knees, and cuts everywhere. I called my boss to let him know I wouldn't be able to make it in and he fired me for being 'not dependable'. FML
Today, as I was driving to work in the aftermath of a terrible blizzard that came through my area last night, a lady slid through an intersection and hit my car, totaling it. I called my boss and told her what happened, only to have her tell me that we were closed due bad roads. No one told me. FML
Today, I got hit by a car walking to work. My first thought wasn't to call 911 or my husband, but to call work to let them know I wouldn't be able to make it in for my shift. FML
Today, I helped save three people, including a newborn, when I was sole witness to a bad car crash. My boss said that wasn’t a valid reason to be 4 hours late for work and fired me. FML

Today, my coworker was supposed to pick me up to go to a work event as my car is broken. I waited 3 hours and he never showed. After he arrived late to the event due to traffic, he told my boss that he waited for me and I never came out. Guess who's unemployed now. FML

"Sorry my car wreck was inconvenient for you. I will be sure to schedule my next accident better in the future."

I don't understand how bosses think such things can even be controlled.

Sheesh, OP. You're so inconsiderate. I bet you're one of those people who schedules your heart attack right after lunch just to get out of work early. Goodness, you're lazy. People with a good work ethic always have their emergencies on weekends.

That's like when my boss gets mad about there not being enough people to work if I call off sick. As if I planned to be sick that day just to inconvienance everyone.

What's even better is when it's one of those places that hire JUST enough people or stay short staffed and run with a skeleton crew and they NEVER have enough people to cover when someone calls out. It's like, do they expect all their employees to never have an emergency or get sick? I understand employees cost money but employing just enough people to get the job done without any extra people to cover normally causes more trouble than it's worth and they end up having to pay their "just enough crew" overtime anyway.

Exactly how it is at my work, we have 18 people right now to run our entire restaurant (We need about 30 to comfortably run it). Pretty much half of us have to work doubles the whole week just to make sure we have enough people. On the bright side, overtime pay is really nice.

Similar thing happened to my boyfriend today. On his way to work he got a flat, and would be late. When calling to inform the manager of this, they hung up on him frustrated MULTIPLE times. Professionalism at its finest.

Honestly OP, that was inconsiderate of you to choose to be in an accident. That was inconvenient for your boss.
