Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. FML
Today, I wasn't sure if I would have to go to work. My mom told me the night before that she would wake me up if I had to. I woke up, and seeing that it was past the time I normally go to work, I happily assumed I got called off. That is, until I got a phone call from my boss asking me why I wasn't there yet. FML
Today, my alarm went off, and in my half-asleep state, I grabbed my phone and snoozed it. When I woke up an hour later, I realized I'd actually snoozed my work email notification for the same amount of time, and my boss was emailing me every five minutes, asking where I was. FML
Today, I was really, REALLY tired at work. I went to the restroom to take a little break, and must have dozed off, because I was awoken by my boss, knocking on the door of the stall. Apparently, I had been snoring. FML
Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML
Today, sleeping in a little late, I was woken up by my phone. Still tired, I quickly checked the display to realize it was my girlfriend calling. I pick up the phone saying, "Hey baby girl!" She seemed pretty startled, so I double-checked and realized it was my new boss, who has the name as my girlfriend. FML
Today, after having been off due to the holidays, I awoke to several missed calls and texts from my supervisor asking where I was. Fearing losing my job, I drove the entire 2-hour commute thinking I’d missed a day. I hadn't; he was just trying to get my weekly reports early. FML
Today, I heard my alarm go off, dragged myself out of bed, had breakfast and got ready for work. As I was heading out the door I checked the time again. It was 1:41 AM. Apparently my alarm never actually went off. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know this is a late reply by 2 years, but he's saying that he was lying to his boss about being in the car going to work , then his alarm went off so his boss heard it and knew he was lying and was still in bed. :P

Your car alarm went off? Why did you have to steal your own car? Everyone knows those stupid car alarms go off for no reason. Ask your boss if he's ever heard of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." He'll understand.

Maybe the FML website got tired of people shouting "FIRST ZOMG!!!". And they decided to just get rid of that number. SO now we can all start an FML by shouting "Second!!".

I wish I had a funnel.

Ignore that comment, I don't know what the hell happened to the other one I posted. It def didn't have anything to do with wanting a funnel.

Am I the only one who (I think) has figured this out? The boss rings OP early in the morning and asks if he was asleep, so OP thinks he overslept, and then lies to cover it up. When his alarm went off he realised it was actually early and his boss was seeing if he would lie or not. He'd already lied though, so it's an FML.
