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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Since when does finishing at the same time mean you're a chauffeur? You're off the clock. Say no.

You do get paid by the hour, don't you? Hopefully, the extra money will cover the petrol you use carting the bloody wanker about. Turn up the radio real loud and don't him smoke a fag in your car nor offer him your spotted dick. (I love Brits!)

This Question made me think I have never once seen a hard working bosses' son. They all seem lazy especially when they work in the same department.

In this economy, with these unemployment rates, maybe you shouldn't complain about working.

Being taken advantage by your boss is a bit worthy to complain. Otherwise, work related FMLs from the United States would never be posted on the front page.

Oh I like your logic. I need to move to the US and start my own business where I take advantage of my employees in all kinds of ways. Then they can't complain because at least they have work, right? Right? "Sure Officer, I used her as my personal sex slave, but I was PAYING HER."...Ah yes, no logical errors in that at all.

Since you've done it once, Pointy Haired Boss will probably ask again. Next time go out to your car on a break and disconnect the battery. When you can't start your car, have BSon call his dad for a ride. Rather defeats the purpose of paying you overtime if he still has to pick up his son.
