Today, the really hot guy that works in the same building as me came to work after being away for the past two days. I said "Look who finally decided to come to work." His response: "I had a death in the family, thanks." FML

Today, my father passed away. I called my boss to let him know about the situation. His only response before hanging up: "Shit, dude. Well, I'll see you in the morning, these reports won't write themselves." FML

Today, an elderly man came into my place of work wearing a nice suit. I commented, saying said he looked nice and asked what the special occasion was. He was going to a funeral. FML

Today, I was bored out of my mind at work. I told my coworker he was lucky to be leaving early. I forgot the reason of his early departure was to go to his grandfather's funeral. FML

Today, while I was at work, I was on the verge of tears. My coworker asked what was wrong and I explained that I recently had to put my dog down. He then replied, "Cool story, bro. Tell it again." FML

Today, I had to cover for a coworker who didn't turn up for work. He's always late for work and I was pissed off about having to cover for him again, so I said to my colleagues, "He better be either in hospital or dead." Turns out he was dead. FML

Today, a man I once worked with passed away. He was a lovely, caring, and inspirational person whom I looked up to. My husband's form of consolation? "Old people die. Get over it." FML

Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML

Today, I got a heads-up that my boss suffered a death in the family, but was coming into work anyway. I thought he'd be depressed, but it seems he deals with grief with anger instead. I found that out when he yelled at me, threatening to rip my spine out my ass over a typo I made in a report. FML

Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral and on his way out I wanted to say something. All I could think of was "have fun". FML

Today, my boyfriend went to work instead of going to my father's funeral. He works at home and chooses his own hours. FML

That's why you ask "Where've you been?" in a nice tone instead. YDI

Unless you're his boss, it's none of your damn business where he was.

He works in the same building. I would notice if someone was missing for a few days.

if OP didn't know, how on earth is it his/her fault?! its perfectly normal to say that if they've been absent for a while, not in a nasty, horrible sense but in a light-hearted way (if you get what I'm saying). FYL, however this is more of a F His L

I agree, that's something I say frequently ("look who finally decided to show up") but with a friendly hint of sarcasm, an I've never once had anyone take it wrong. Sounds to me like he was just being an ass...

You deserve it for.... 1. Judging someone for something that is none of your business, where you could have instead asked "Hey are you ok?" 2. For jumping to conclusions
