Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML

Today, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, I got a raise at work. It will bring my hourly wage to about a cent more per hour. Our CEO just reported record-breaking profits for the year. FML
Today, I was at my work. To urge people to be generous, I paid my friends to put 15 bucks in the tip jar while saying how great I was. He did this about ten times throughout the day. Turns out, us employees don't get to keep the tips. FML
Today, my slacker co-worker accused me of stealing because I got more hours than him. I was called into the manager's office and interrogated. They believed him, and sent me home for the day. I guess it pays off being the boss's kid. FML
Today, I discovered that as thanks for my successful efforts to increase my company's monthly revenue, my dumbass of a boss has been awarded a pay bonus. He's wasted no time telling everyone about the sports car he's planning to buy with it. FML
Today, my boss asked me to talk to the HR manager to see if I was happy about my pay, which made me think I was going to get a raise. Turns out they paid me nearly twice as much as they should have for the last 2 years and I owe them over €5000. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, my boss finally worked out that by not giving the lads a pay rise to £18 an hour, instead just offering them overtime when necessary, it actually cost the equivalent of raising each employees salary to £26 an hour, for a whole year. He’s is blaming me because I issue the pay checks. FML

Stop doing his job for him and stick to doing your own job only.

Why are you doing your coworker's job for him? Let him get in trouble.

Good things always happen to pricks. That's why pricks stay pricks.

With his luck, he'll get fired and his slack-ass friend will get a raise and a promotion where his new duties don't require him to even show up.

OP you need to have a talk between you and your boss. Unless your coworker has something incriminating on boss, there is no reason something so unjust should be done. Make sure you and boss agree on what is your job and what is your coworker’s job - get it in writing if at all possible (the part about what your job responsibilities are). Then never cover for coworker again unless specifically directed to by your boss.

These kinds of people are the toxic ones. He will always have the stupid luck he doesn't deserve. Think Homer. Stay clear and don't involve yourself with him at all. He will rise to the top inexplicably or crash and burn. You don't want any part of his circus ride.
