Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML

Long walk home

Today, I got locked out of a building that I work in (I work night shifts). I locked my phone, wallet, and car keys in the building. I had no way of contacting my boss or getting a ride. I had to walk home at night, almost got hit by a car full of dudes yelling slurs, and had a woman scream at me from the passenger seat of a car. FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, as I was driving to work, I got a flat tire. While attempting to replace said tire, I got mugged. The guy took all my money, my iPod, cellphone, and CDs. When I finally called my boss to explain my situation, he fired me. Why? Because I was late and had an "overactive imagination." FML

Today, I lost my job because I was late. I was late because I had no alarm. I had no alarm because my roommate got mad and broke my phone when I beat her at scrabble. FML

Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML

Today, I was sitting in my car waiting my shift to start. I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to a call from my boss firing me. I was in the parking lot. FML

Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. 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

Who only has one phone charger? You don't have one in your house that you use to charge your phone over night?

Am I alone in having at least three charging cords (I currently have seven)

I think it is time to take it easy. I am sure your boss enjoyed your excuse - points for creativity.

You should just take medical leave and get an emergency rectocephalectomy. That’s getting your head removed from your ass.

depending on the type of work and whether you can take PTO, I would consider that! also, are you not able to send an email? you having a single charger is problematic!

Hey.. It sounds to me as though you have ADHD. I have that and this sounds like a typical day for me. You. really should read up about it and see a professional and maybe get some medication. Having said that, a power bank or two really helps. Good luck!

Why not email your boss from a computer\laptop. You could even use it to call provided it has a microphone. I'm also with the rest of the comments, I have so many phone chargers around my house in our vehicles, and we even have a bunch of those power banks.
