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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I woke up, got dressed, drove for an hour, just to find out that I was fired. This is the closest job near me. FML
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
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML
Today, I accidentally fell asleep at work after working a 12-hour shift. Instead of waking me up, my coworkers spiked my coffee mug with whiskey and told my boss I was drunk. My boss wouldn't even listen to my side of the story and fired me. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML
Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML
Today, my boss contacted me to come in for a quick meeting. I drove 30 minutes to get to work only to find out she was firing me and wanted my key card back. FML
Today, I was fired for falling asleep at work. I’m still not sure how I fell asleep, seeing as I’m a stocker and I was actively putting cans on the shelf when it happened. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's too bad. Should have just gone into work as soon as you got there. Entirely your fault. Sorry to say. :)

Surly you must have a record of not showing for your boss to fire you on the spot? Generally you get 3 strikes, or something of that nature. Or maybe your boss is just an ass, either way FYL.

The question is where do YOU work, very few companies will fire someone on a first offense, unless it's something incredibly bad, like stealing.

I suppose that would make more sense to have just said, "You should be asking yourself that". The question didn't change xD

Seriously, I have never worked ANYWHERE where you were fired the first time for being late. So either the OP is lying, has a history of lateness or other problems, or their boss/company is seriously strict.

Surly you're a repeat offender of your boss fired you on the spot. Generally there's a 3 strike rule, or something of that sort. Or maybe your boss is just an ass, eaither way FYL. *sorry if I posted this twice, the app is being wonky*

Well if you would have just gone in early, not only would you still have a job, you might have gotten a promotion.

YDI. Maybe on your next job you wont be such an adolescent.

What does being a teenager have to do with losing your job?

While it is clear you got to the parking lot before your shift started, it's not clear how long your little snooze took. I have a big dump truck with a three-ton YDI in it. If you fill in the details, I'll know whether he can dump in on your lawn.

While I want to say YDI it so bad, I still feel the boss handled it badly. He may of saw your car in the parking lot or at least should of called you 5 minutes after your shift started to bitch you out, not fire you. Couldn't hold back, YDI
