Today, after I requested a sick day, a very close co-worker texted her boyfriend that I'm a bitch for pretending to have the same rare illness that she recently suffered. She said it was unlikely, disrespectful and unfair that I didn't even look sick. I know this because she texted me instead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me four times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift two days in a row, because apparently that's "insensitive" of me. FML
Today, despite having a stomach bug, I went into work, as my boss is overseas and had warned me not to take any sick leave until she returned. After 4 hours and vomiting twice, I left. She found out and sent me an email bitching me out for coming in sick. FML
Today, I was sick, so I emailed my co-workers with a list of my hours, asking if anyone would be willing to cover them for me. I only got one hour covered, and that was during a day I don't even work. FML
Today, I dragged myself to work, suffering from a bad cold. My boss quietly told me to go home and rest, to avoid spreading it around the office. I thought it odd since he dislikes me so much, but I did as he said. He called later in the day to suspend me for leaving work early. FML
Today, I called in sick to work. My boss told me there's no excuse for sick days, because she once came in to work while suffering from pneumonia. Apparently, that's supposed to be impressive and inspiring. I don't know about you, but bad medical decisions aren't very inspirational to me. FML
Today, I came home sick. After a while I received a text message. I thought it was a sweet "How are you baby?" from my boyfriend. It wasn't. He sent: "Hey, I'm going to work now. Please do not disturb. Thank you!" FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I went to work despite having a nasty cold. I didn't call up sick because last week when I called in, my boss said I was being "unprofessional and unacceptable." My boss sent me home with a written warning today, claiming that coming to work sick was "unprofessional and unacceptable." 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

Your co-worker is a disrespectful bitch, does it even matter what she says?

So because it's rare, it's impossible for you to have it? Unless you have leprosy, she's being a very presumptuous bitch.

She also, is assuming something that isn't true. Why do people always assume stuff before knowing it is 100%?

What sucks is that people don't realize that unlikely and impossible are the same thing.

Text her back pretending to text somebody else saying she is a bitch for thinking you are faking it.

You never mentioned whether or not her complaints were valid or not....

How is this an fml. If everyone got as butthurt about one person being bitchy to them as OP, then I guess everyone would have about 50 fmls a day

There is a possibility that she texted you "accidentally" to express her frustration to you "indirectly". You should pretend to text "someone else" about how you work with an inconsiderate (bleep) who thinks she is one of the kind (to the point where she believes things that happen to her only happens to her since she thinks she is "special").

haha i know. there was a time when i was at school i was texting gossips about a teacher to my frd. i happened to have said teacher's number on my phone. i almost accidentally sent that text to the teacher instead. it all felt so natural because said teacher was the one in my mind.
