Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, I faked a sore throat for the school nurse so I could go home early. It took my dad the rest of the school day just to get there to pick me up. FML
Today, I finally started my job as an in-home caregiver. The man I was hired to care for died two hours after I made it to his house. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting to surprise him when he got home from work. I was laying in his bed when he called to tell me we were over. I couldn't leave before he got home. FML
Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML

Noor, by any chance, are you continuously on acid?, you come up with the strangest most unique comments that aren't even needed but they still work so well. Like I'll sit here, read your comment and think about how on earth that comment was conceived in your mind. That is all. Lol

I for one would love to be in your shoes, OP. My shifts are not long enough. I'd totally take advantage of that situation and hope the brat son always worked the same times as me. It's not like you're not getting paid.

But he DID need you in. He needed you to give his son a ride home. Nah, seriously though, he should have given his own son a ride. I hope you'll at least get paid for those extra hours.

Noor, with a creative mind like that, I think you should try writing comedy novels and love stories. Possible titles: 1) Ninja and the Assassin: A Sneak Attack Love Story 2) I Am Not a Nun 3) Caring for Your Bat Mobile 101 4) Ezio: The Sexiest Italian Import Since Parmesan and Proscuitto

Drive like a crazy person and give him a reason to never want to drive with you again

Charge gas money. Grow a pair of balls son. I have picked my boss's dumb ass up because he ran out of gas and called me - but it was. It free. Either I came in late or left early or got a free day off or I got paid.
