Today, while working security at a welfare office, I had to listen as a claimant gushed about her upcoming Caribbean cruise. I work two jobs and haven't had a vacation since 2006. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after being jobless for 2 years, I got a call back for an interview. I was ecstatic until I saw the date. It's the same day I leave for a weeklong, nonrefundable vacation. I applied for the job 6 weeks ago, and since not hearing anything bought the vacation 2 weeks ago. FML
Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML
Today, I lost it on my co-workers about how hard I've been working, picking up everyone's slack with no appreciation, and it was clear that I needed to find a job that actually rewarded hard work. As I went to grab my jacket to leave, I saw a cake and gift card for a cruise on the table, from the staff. FML
Today, I found out my work gave me a vacation for my performance. It's a trip to somewhere in the Caribbean, with the nickname "The Sunniest Place on Earth." I have skin cancer. FML
Today, my dad asked me how I would feel about going on an all-expenses-paid, month-long holiday to the Caribbean. I was ecstatic and broke into tears of joy, saying I'd love it. He replied, "Yeah, me too. Shame it ain't happening!" then left for work, laughing his arse off. FML
Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Today, I overheard my co-worker talking about how she's going to Panama City, Florida this weekend and is going to "get lit." It's the middle of the pandemic, and she's going to go party on a beach. She'll be back at work Tuesday. FML
Today, I found out I lost a promotion intended for me because I was on planned vacation. FML
Today, I returned from my first paid vacation in the past 2 years from a place with no cell, or internet. I've just found out that our department has been downsized. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And she is applying for welfare?! I hate that some people are working hard to make a living for themselves in these tough times, while others are flying under the ******* radar, and cheating the system. I hope she gets turned down.

Usually if your cheating the system and they suspect it they have you,bring in your proof of source of income. It pisses me off when people with well paying jobs that make between 1000-4000 a month cheat the system because their to ******* lazy to use their cash to go grocery shopping. There are homeless people on the street that can't have a meal at night or that go starving for days. If you're cheating the system, **** you and shame on you for having a gutless soul.

wait 1000 dollars a month is a good paying job ? o.o i cant even rent an apartment on that here in new york ..

$1000a month is like $6/h that's minimum wage that's not a good paying job

39 might be from somewhere where the cost of living isn't as high compared to New York. Where I live $1000 a month will get you a decent sized house. Perspective...

And how do you pay for groceries once you paid for the rent?

Poor you. Get a better job? Maybe on a cruise ship?

OP I forgot to mention, why didn't you tell her Social Worker of what she was saying? You'd be saving yourself time and saving the next homeless person a decent meal.

It's really stupid. I work at a gas station and see people coming in all the time with food stamps and unemployment driving brand new fresh off the showroom floor cars, blowing all the food stamps they have on candy and stuff, talking about the bran new house they just bought. Everytime I look at them and say "so tell me again why you need food stamps?"

Not everyone on welfare is on drugs. I won't even say 1/4 is on drugs. People are just lazy.
