Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

Photocopy the tickets, sell the photocopies to him, and the real copies to someone worthy of them. Voila.

Gah, he was just trying to be nice. You know you'd rather be working than going to an awesome concert, right? Jeesh, so ungrateful. But seriously, your boss is a bastard.

32- Damn, I didn't know girls were so easy. All it takes is a dozen roses to win our virginity? Suddenly not too glad to be a woman.

She's already lost her virginity... But no, you're completely correct. Instead of roses Get some shitty vodka. It's cheaper. And works better.

Ugh so many double standards for bosses!! He's sucking the fun out of your work life and now your social life! Stand up to him and tell him what's he's doing isn't at all fair.

I'd be surprised if this was legal. At the very least, OP should report this to HR.

Yes, because party-pooping is against the law.

Or just tell him you don't wanna sell the tickets to him. His plan would be spoiled.

Actually in many states there is a minimum amount of time bosses must inform you of schedule changes and such. OP needs to check his laws out and see if he even has to show up. Normally I'd advise just working, but when he is so obviously trying to get cheap tickets.. screw him.

13- You used a disappointment face. That means you know what a disappointment face looks like and how it would be used on the Internet. 5 used a disappointment face. Since 5 used a disappointment face, you should know that 5 was being facetious in an otherwise ironically false comment. Check yoself befo' you wreck yoself.

Hey 24 he was saying that so the boss would get caught. So take your comment back!

If the person with the real tickets go to the concert first, then only the boss would get in trouble. Winning.

Then OP ends up jobless, and her boss would have probably told the police who sold then to him. Voila, unemployment!

if he's gonna do that and get fired for that, then he might as well just go to the concert himself like he wanted..

Try to trade shifts with another worker possibly... Then you'll have the last laugh if you can get your shift traded.

Call in sick, go anyway! Or if that'll get you fired, give it to family, friends or sell them on StubHub. Then using the least amount of tact possible while not getting in trouble tell your boss they're an asshole.
