Work: Today, I was delivering packages to patients in the hospital...

Today, I was delivering packages to patients in the hospital for my job. My boss gave me a room to deliver to, and I drop it off as usual. But my boss gave me the wrong room number. I had to walk in, apologize, and take back balloons and a stuffed animal from a crying 6-year-old patient. FML

Today, I was opening and sorting mail for my boss as part of my job. One package was delivered to the office instead of his home by mistake, since his house is next door on the same property. I didn't notice until I had opened it. I had to hand my boss an opened box of toys. Kinky ones. FML

Today, while working at a pizza shop near a college campus, I got an order to deliver to the dorms. Extremely busy at work and annoyed that someone wouldn't take 3 minutes to walk over, I spat on the pizza. When I arrived to the dorm, a woman in a wheelchair opened the door. FML

Today, I frantically chased a customer down the parking lot, because they had left their package at my register, only to find out that the whole time I was chasing the wrong person. FML

Today, I went to the hospital to visit my aunt and her newborn baby. The receptionist gave me the room number, and I went and my aunt was in the bathroom so I cuddle the baby, only to find that the woman who came out of the bathroom was a complete stranger. I was holding her baby. FML

Today, I received a package labeled “Confidential.” Excited, I opened it in front of my coworkers, thinking it was a PR gift. It was the new toilet seat I'd mistakenly sent to my work address instead of my house. FML

Today, while I was home sick from work, my neighbor got packages delivered. Our apartments have had a lot of thefts lately so, being neighborly, I brought her stuff inside to wait. When she came home, I gave them right to her. Instead of thanking me, she told the office that I was the thief all along. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my boss why the flowers I got her for her birthday the other day were in the conference room and not her office. She told me she was allergic to them and she had such a bad reaction that it made her go home early. I made my boss sick on her birthday. FML

Today, I walked into my hotel room, took off my coat and started unpacking. Ten minutes later, an older couple walked in, holding luggage. I'd gone into THEIR room. The receptionist gave me the wrong fob. They were surprisingly calm, but I had to explain why I’d already used one of their towels. FML

Today, I was expecting an important delivery for a party I'm having tonight. I was in the shower when the doorbell rang. In my haste, I slipped and ended up with a bunch of little cuts and bruises. Turns out, it was someone trying to leave a note saying it would be delivered tomorrow. FML

Today, my package with two brand new toys got delivered to the wrong apartment. Somewhere in this apartment complex, a stranger is either judging me or having the best day of their life. FML

I would have let the kid keep the balloons. There's no way I'd be strong enough to take them back. Maybe his parents will get him something appeasing and he'll forget the whole incident.

that is ****** up. you let the kid keep the balloons and stuffed animal, and either make your boss get it, make him buy another one for the correct recipient, or you yourself buy one for the rightful person. It can't be that expensive and think about the children!

What the hell! :( Poor kid. Hope you came back later and brought her some of her own!

I would've refused to go back and retrieve them. Your boss made the mistake, so he should be the one to either eat the cost by replacing those things for the original patient, or something along those lines. Can you put in a complaint to his boss or someone above him? I know people make mistakes, but that's just cruel.

Yeah, if I was you I would have gone out and bought the poor kid some of her own.

You know, you should've just explained the situation to the original receiver. And just say that you made another person's day instead.

That's messed up. I'm sorry. I agree with #54, even though it wasn't your fault your boss was an idiot.

That's so sad! :( I feel so bad for the little kid, and for you for having to take the things back. Your boss should have just replaced the items for the real patient.
