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

One word... Overtime

OP, your boss can make you work overtime but he cannot make you give a ride to his son. Don't let him bully you into it. Say no next time.

Could have called a friend to meet u for lunch, secretly passed them your keys and told the kid u had to lend your car to a friend for important errand....then had him pick u up elsewhere. Maybe too much trouble but worth a shot

you shouldn't have said yes (assuming he asked). Also if he didn't, and this isn't the first time this has happened, you should point out that that is actually illegal here in the UK. Not that specifically... but here in the UK it is illegal to make someone work a longer shift than they are scheduled for without their permission.

Do what I did when I had a unwanted rider. I started talking about me & my boyfriend. All our problems, our sex life. He quickly started catching rides with other ppl

I read "longer", "needed me in" and "so I'd finish". I think I know what OP's job is.
