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

Long walk home

By zoe - 15/07/2022 22:00

Today, I got locked out of a building that I work in (I work night shifts). I locked my phone, wallet, and car keys in the building. I had no way of contacting my boss or getting a ride. I had to walk home at night, almost got hit by a car full of dudes yelling slurs, and had a woman scream at me from the passenger seat of a car. FML

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, as I was driving to work, I got a flat tire. While attempting to replace said tire, I got mugged. The guy took all my money, my iPod, cellphone, and CDs. When I finally called my boss to explain my situation, he fired me. Why? Because I was late and had an "overactive imagination." FML

Today, I lost my job because I was late. I was late because I had no alarm. I had no alarm because my roommate got mad and broke my phone when I beat her at scrabble. FML

The hero we deserved

Today, I helped save three people, including a newborn, when I was sole witness to a bad car crash. My boss said that wasn’t a valid reason to be 4 hours late for work and fired me. FML

Who only has one phone charger? You don't have one in your house that you use to charge your phone over night?

Am I alone in having at least three charging cords (I currently have seven)

oh yes, because landlines, payphones and neighbors with phones or chargers are a myth. they obviously exist only in legends.

I've known 12-year-olds more responsible than this. Who has only one phone charger, and why/how would you leave your keys in someone else's car? None of this makes sense. O.o

I didnt realize I got posted. To answer all the comments, yes i only have one charger. I guess im not so attached to my phone to need 10 chargers. We dont have a land line because we have cell phones. And as for the neighbors, i guess i could have asked 🤷🏻‍♀️
