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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. FML
Today, my best friend went to my boss and offered to do my job for half the pay. FML
Today, I found out the time I'd requested off for a trip in 2 months, that my boss said that I could go on, wasn't fully processed, just in case he decided I couldn't go. He told me the second part after I'd bought no refund tickets for shows for both me and my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was going to a big concert at my university. I paid around a hundred twenty bucks for my ticket. Outside the venue, people were handing out the tickets. For free. FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I was supposed to take a test, but the professor didn't have it ready because he went to a concert last night. I sold my own tickets to that very concert in order to study for the test. 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, my boss selected me to be the company representative at an important meeting in Portland with one of our biggest clients. I was thrilled, until I realized he hadn't said anything about my plane ticket or hotel reservation. He later told me that I'll need to acquire those things myself. FML
Today, my cute coworker begged me to cover his shift tomorrow, and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner to make up for it. I was very excited because I've been crushing on him for a long time. I later overheard him tell his friend that he didn't plan on showing up for our dinner. FML
Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML

Sell him a ticket and the other to the most irritating person you know

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

Typical boss :( At that point, I'd either go to his higher-ups, or search for another job. Your not alone.

Call in sick the night before, say you'll have to miss a few days

Welcome to the real world OP. if you sell him the tickets half price you will be risking similar low blows from him in the future. If you don't, you risk two options: A- getting fired. Which is not cool. B- keeping the job but having your boss making sure you see hell on daily basis. I'd say suck it up and stick to option one until you find a better job. Because unless you have other means of income, confronting your current boss and/or pissing him off won't pay the bills nor put bread on the table no matter how satisfying and pride-saving it may sound.

Yeah, sucks almost as much as your spelling and grammar.

Or it was just a typo. D and S are right next to each other on the keyboard. It's easy to accidentally type "so" instead of "do" as well as the other way around, so take your Grammar Nazi ass and leave.

Decline the work that day. If you're hourly, he can't legally schedule you more than a full work week (40hours), unless you consent to it.
