Today, I finished my shift at the nursing home. There was too much snow on the roads, so most of us had to stay overnight. Not only did I not get to go home, I also got stuck sleeping in the same bed that a resident had died in the night before. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job at a nursing home. Not only were we short staffed, two residents passed away, and I got beaten up by an old man. FML
Today, I woke up to a quite frigid room, which wasn't out of the ordinary since my building's heat is broken. But I realized that the extra cold I was feeling was due to the snow piled up on my bed. It had snowed 20 inches last night. My mom had apparently opened my window. FML
Today, after moving hundreds of miles to take care of my beloved grandmother and working like mad for a week to make the house cozy and accessible for her, it was finally time to bring her home. Or it would have been, if she hadn’t died in her sleep last night. FML
Today, after months of taking care of my grandma after a surgery, the doctors gave her a clean bill of health, and I finally got to sleep in my own bed. She passed away while I was at home. FML
Today, I offered to stay late at my delivery job because it was snowing and several people called out. An hour later I got rear ended. FML
Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. FML
Today, it was snowing really badly, so my boss said that everyone who drove to work could leave. But because I got the bus in, she said that I should stay and do a full day. By the time she eventually decided it was bad enough for me to leave, the buses were cancelled. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I wonder what "too much snow on the roads" is in the States? In Canada, there's no such thing.

At least you can prepare for and practice your last words.
mb2_native 15
That makes no sense in this situation.
red_headforlife 15
Yeah I'm kinda thinking that OP will most likely not die... Let us know though, OP!

#2, I read your comment a few times and I still could not understand the relevance of your comment. Why would OP need to practice her last words? She's not the one dead or dying

I think a fear for some people when sleeping in a bed that someone has died in is dying themselves. For others it's being haunted or something, for some it's just the spook factor... That's what I think the comment meant

I think sleeping in the bed of the newly dead would remind some of their own mortality. One way of coping with that might be thinking up clever last words.

The skeleton is out of the closet now.

They also call it the "shift when everything happens"... I know a Cop who calls it the "Oh Shit" shift because a good portion of the calls he gets, the first words he says are "Oh shit"..

That's scary.

Really? I thought it would bring a smile to your face and joy in your heart

Did they at least remove the body?
sens3sfailing 25
Why would they do that? That would ruin the rotting process that makes the room smell wonderful for the rest of eternity!

The saddest part about this is that you seem dead serious.
ravenh1979 13
That would be my luck. LOL
sens3sfailing 25

That sounds very grave. I've been dying to use that pun, I ap-euologise everyone
oj101 33
Now, now, don't get all morbid.
perdix 31
#14, in that situation, you can have morbid or less bed.
ICastillo 25
This humor's getting too grave! I'm just going to wither out of this thread.
Pleonasm 36
You're going six feet under!

What's with all the puns? This is beginning to be tomb much for me. I'm dead serious.
kishorekumar_a 10
Guys, seriously, this is not punny...
notjanedoe 27
It not like the human body gets any grosser than it already is in the little time the dead body spent in the bed. Still, very bad timing. FYL.

Except for the voiding of bowels, bladders and other orifices.

But I'm sure you'd get a lot of that in a nursing home

The body still decays and just imagine the bacteria

Well that sucks OP... But at least you are(/was) in better shape than the resident. Haha lol, FYL
