Today, I called off work saying my Great Grandmother died. A co-worker texted me later asking where and when the funeral was. I made up a lie and said some random funeral home and date. My co-workers sent flowers to the funeral home for condolences. The flowers were returned. FML

Today, I ran into my boss when I was at the beach. He told me he was sorry for my loss. I asked him, "What loss?" Then I remembered I’d lied about taking time off under the pretense of bereavement of my grandmother passing away. FML
Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML

Today, I asked my boss for a few days off next week, because my grandmother passed away yesterday and I'll need to travel to attend the funeral. His response: "She's dead, you're not. You want time off, then quit." FML
Today, my boss called me a liar and untrustworthy. Why? Yesterday I went home to grieve, after finding out my father figure is in hospice, but because he's just in hospice and not actually dead yet, that somehow means I lied about his death to get a day off work. What? FML
Today, I e-mailed the online instructor for my job, telling her that I had fallen behind in my work due to my grandmother's passing and the subsequent funeral arrangements, but that I would catch up this week. Her reply? "OK. Hope your grandmother gets better soon." FML
Today, I came in to work looking very tan. I took Friday off to go to a friend's funeral, which was outdoors, and I tan very easily. Now my boss and everyone else thinks I lied about my friend's death to get off work on a Friday. FML

You're calling the OP stupid and yet you can't spell 'sorry to say' properly. You really make me sick. Before long people are going to be writing novels using phrases like 'omg wtf' and 'lmao rofl'. Honestly, learn English. Please. For yourself and the people around you who have to put up with your stupidity. That is all, thank you.

I mean really who the **** says that their great grandma died? If you're going to be a douchebag, why not say it was your grandma or aunt? I mean come on now. At least then you'll only be a douchebag instead of a stupid douchebag.

Well, while I have no words for what OP did, it is possible that all great grandmothets have been dead, which probably wasn't the case woth grandmothers and/or autns, and OP felt better "killing" someone already dead. That said... There is special place in hell for people lying abouth deaths.
