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!

Hopefully he didn't die of discomfort, sleep tight OP.

It doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world, unless you believe in ghosts and all that.

Hopefully someone washed the sheets.

Hopefully they changed the sheets. And hopefully there wasn't a tabby cat named Oscar poking around the room. But hey, at least you had a bed to sleep in, OP.

You're not possessed... Are you ?

I hope they moved the body. Did they move the body? Anyone? Does anyone know if they moved the body? I mean, this story is 100x funnier if the OP was sleeping with the corpse.

Yes, they'd leave the corpse in the bed and put OP beside it. It's the only thing that makes sense, why even ask?

For some reason it is very hard for me to imagine any situation in which sleeping with a corpse would be funny, even using black humor standards .

#44, I'm guessing "Weekend at Bernie's" was not your favorite movie.

Good call perdix! That movie was hilarious!!

51, try "death becomes her" or "addams family" instead. Death can be funny. However, sleeping with corpse is just too bland to be funny.

It will be dead silent that night

so why didn't you sleep on the floor?

do you have any idea how nasty the floor in nursing home is? Feces, urine, vomit, and other bodily fluids end up on the floor all the time. Plus I guarantee the sheets where changes, and the hospital beds have a vinyl mattress that is cleaned.

As long as it was natural, it shouldn't be a big deal. Of course, if an axe murderer broke in and chopped off each limb one by one, then I'd be worried.
perdix 31
Yeah, it's kinda creepy if the resident died of natural causes and coincidentally vacated the bed you needed to sleep in. It's a whole 'nother story if you helped him or her off this mortal coil just to have a bed to sleep in -- dunh, dunh, dunh!

I would look for a armchair to sleep in or something... I just couldn't do it!
