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.

You should've requested that day off or asked to switch with someone previously. Then he'd have to let you off. Or you could try switching with someone last minute.

Go to the concert dude. If there is a fuss, go up the chain and file a complaint to that guy's boss. It's technically bullying, and it's untehcnically complete scum that must be exterminated.

What a ******* piece of shit!! I would have said oh no that's ok, I have someone willing to pay me more then I paid for them! He would have either let you go, or had to pay you more so you could rip him off.

Go anyway. He can lie about why he does if he tries to fire you, but these days if you are forward with the truth he is going to be the one in trouble.

**** him the job ain't worth it if he's an ass and makes you work over time and tries to take the tickets you bought

Right at the moment, that sounds very strongly of blackmail. He heard you telling your co-worker that you had tickets to a concert (Which you knew you were off at the time.) And then told you, oops, you have to work, but I'll buy the tickets off you. That's blackmail and he should have to refund you full price+ interest rate, or you go to the cops.

Nope make good looking fakes of the tickets rip them up in front of him with a "oh well guess since now I can't go" if he still makes you work then you sell the tickets to someone for what they are worth but **** your boss. What's next giving you a company vehicle that's a POS that you have to drive while saying, "I will take that BMW off of your hands cheap"
