Today, I was the only employee at a video store where I work when it got robbed. After crying, shaking and spending two hours and dealing with the police, my boss called and told me it was good experience and I would know what to do next time, then made me finish my shift, the night shift, alone.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was robbed while working overnight at the gas station. They demanded I give them all the cash in the register. Seeing they were armed, I was reduced to tears and complied. They mocked me and took a video with their cellphone. When I told my boss, he promptly fired me for not “fighting back.” FML
Today, my boss asked me to pick up some supplies for a presentation. I entered the store in the middle of an armed robbery, was knocked to the floor, and had my cash, phone and credit cards stolen. When I told my boss the story, she said, "So were you able to get the binder clips?" FML
Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML
Today, I accidentally set off an alarm at the school I work for. No one was there, I didn't have the code or password the company needed, my boss wouldn't answer his phone, three policemen interrogated me and asked for ID, but realized I left home without my wallet. There was nothing I could do. I cried. FML
Today, it was my second day at my new job as a bank teller. I got locked in the vault while alarms were being tested. I was in there for an hour and none of my coworkers had even noticed that I'd gone missing. Gee, thanks. FML
Today, I got mugged at work. The sad thing is I'm a cop and was trying to catch the people who mugged me previously while off duty. FML
Today, I went to the store, but after I'd selected my items, I saw that I'd forgotten my wallet. When I tried to explain to the cashier, he thought that I was trying to steal and called the cops. My roommate had to come to the store to save me. FML
Today, I decided that I was going to see a counselor due to the high amounts of stress my life. I planned to book the appointment when I got home. As soon as I got home, I noticed I had been robbed while I was at work. FML
Today, I was robbed while recovering from a robbery. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry. Video stores will soon become extinct. You'll be out of a job in no time.

Should have walked out and cut all contact, leaving the door and the till open.

As a woman, you job should be to cook his clothes, wash his clothes/dishes, & have his **** inside you. Maybe you could have been a team player &, I dunno, sucked all the robbers off so they leave with nothing valuable.

I would've walked off the job. **** him. I'd sue him for mental anguish. I know where I work, if we were to get robbed we have to lock the doors and close down the store. I think you'll be better off without that job.

I think she'd rather feel safe and protected in her home, as to earning a little more money. Also, to people telling her to grow up; I think she did. She was incredibly brave for continuing her shift, and alone at that.

Take this time to appreciate the military. They don't get off work after they get shot at.

Work the rest of your shift safely -- with every door locked to keep out any would-be robbers.

I really hope you didn't finish the shift. After trauma like that, the night shift would have been hell. I'd have locked the place up, even if it was a 24h store. Go ahead and fire me. It'd be preferable to that boss.
