Today, I took my driver's test. I was confident and thought everything would go well. My boss ended up calling me several times during the test. Turns out my colleague never showed up to cover for me, and my boss blamed me. Not only did I fail my test, I'm now suspended from work too. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called out "for personal reasons" from work because I had to study for a major test that's taking place tomorrow. An hour later, my manager called to fire me for "not taking work seriously." I then got an email telling me that the test was being postponed. FML
Today, I failed my driving test, and didn't get my great new job that a buddy helped me get. He got fired, and they won't hire me because he recommended me, regardless of how qualified for the job and how great the interview went. He called to tell me an hour before my driving test. FML
Today, my instructor turned up late to get me for my driving test. I soon realized something was seriously wrong. Turned out his wife left him last night, and he'd been drinking the pain away all morning. He ended up rear-ending another car, and now I have to reschedule my test. FML
Today, I missed my shift at work. I had asked my girlfriend, who works at the same store, to text me my schedule. She sent me the wrong hours for today. I got suspended, and she broke up with me for being too irresponsible. FML
Today, I failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. FML
Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML
Today, I took my driving test. I was nervous, but I thought I followed the rules of the road pretty well. My tester ended up failing me for "backing out too slowly". FML
Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I was driving to the DMV to take a test, after getting some points removed from my license. On the way there, I got a speeding ticket and got my license suspended completely. FML

If you didn't answer it, you shouldn't have failed unless you actually were a shitty driver.

Talk about bad timing. Hopefully it won't happen next time.

If you have a workplace that schedules shifts, and you let your manager know ahead of time that you cannot make it to a shift and they find a replacement, the blame should not fall on you if the other person doesn't show up. The blame should, of course, fall to the person who agreed to cover your shift then didn't do so.

Did you let your boss know you were switching shifts or did you just tell your colleague to show up and cover for you? If you didn't tell him you weren't coming in then of course he's going to call you and bitch you out.

Don't worry, your boss will get his punishment too. Karma will kick in and you will be the one smiling and driving !

In most jobs if you have someone cover for you and they do not show up then you are both in trouble but more so the original worker due to the fact that it was YOUR shift. Which means your responsibility to be there.

ON THE PAGE BEFOR THIS POST I SAW THIS ONE Today, I saw a photo on Instagram of my friend flipping the camera the bird. She'd tagged it under "irony", so I jokingly suggested that she borrow a dictionary. She responded with a tirade of abuse, claimed to be sleeping with my boyfriend, and blocked me an hour later. FML THIS WAS THE REPLY the bigger bitch. Tell her that there's a vicious rumor about her having an STD and you are letting it continue because "it's way too funny."

Call human resources on your boss. If a co-worker agrees to cover for and your boss knows about it. It's the co-workers problem after not yours
