Today, the medicine I keep at my desk for headaches is now gone thanks to my coworker who took the last 6 Advil at once. Her reasoning? "You're thin, so you wouldn't need them anyway. I'm twice your size, so I needed twice the dose." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to explain to my girlfriend that taking triple the maximum dosage of painkillers won't actually triple its effects. She rolled her eyes, called me clueless, and said that I should "leave this stuff to the professionals." She's studying to become a doctor. FML
Today, someone at work took my delicate medication out of the fridge to make room for their lunch. Now my medication has expired. FML
Today, I was prescribed medication to treat the headaches, caused by the medication to treat the lethargy, caused by the medication to treat my crippling nerve pain, without which I'd be stuck in a wheelchair. FML
Today, I had a headache when I woke up for school. I had final exams that day, so I took what I thought were 2 advils. They were two sleeping pills. FML
Today, my roommate was complaining about a headache, so I offered her some aspirin. She looked at me like I was stupid and said, "Uh… That stuff's only for heart attacks." I'm living with an idiot. FML
Today, after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I woke up from a much needed nap realizing I should take my pain medication. My mother then told me she had thrown them out so I wouldn't get addicted and become a drug dealer. FML
Today, my boss was skeptical when I told her I had a terrible migraine and needed to go home for the day early. I removed all her doubts by puking over her. FML
Today, at work in a call center, I went into my locker to get my pain pills from a recent surgery. When I opened the bottle, half my pills spread all over the floor. My boss walked by and said, "I knew it!" FML
Today, in preparation for a presentation at work, I decided to take a handful of vitamins to fight my cold. As I was putting the bottles away, I noticed one of them was a laxative. FML
Today, my mother won't give me any painkillers for my migraine. She believes that "When medicine goes into your stomach, the acids stop the medicine from working" and that "It's all in people's heads when medicine works". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When she eventually dies from liver failure, she may briefly in her last few moments of consciousness realize how wrong she was. But of course, she still won't admit it because she sounds like a major bitch, so good riddance.

I have a couple of majorly annoying coworkers who take what they want, just today one tried to take my heartburn relief pills. It's the type of shit that almost makes you reconsider if you should be working there. Then I realized that this is my job and I'm not going to let minor problems disrupt my income. I told her to stop taking my personal items. The issue was quickly resolved now that she knows I'm looking out for them.

I'm guessing her IQ is about 155?

You forgot the "." after the first 5.

It shouldn’t be necessary, but don’t leave things out on the top of your desk that you don’t want your coworkers to steal. If they have been going though your desk drawers to steal your supplies, then that’s reason to go to HR or your boss with an accusation of theft.

Yeah, then file theft charges with authorities. Seriously, even if it is at work, theft is theft. In this case, petty theft but still. If you bought the meds, and someone else takes them, in some states it’s illegal to take someone else’s medication. This applies to over the counter too. It’s not like she asked, or its your spouse/partner/child in which you keep some one hand for their occasional usage. This is just plain theft, and after you reported it, feel free to mention she overdosed and “may be depressed “ at minimum, a 48-hour hold may be declared, leaving you with two days of bliss without them.

Buy another bottle but swap it all out for laxatives and hide your real Advil elsewhere. Its risky taking pills from other people you know when you have their permission she should know better and be respectful

I hope you reported her to HR for theft.
