Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had an argument with my boss and tried to text a friend about it. I accidentally texted my boss instead. FML
Today, I was talking to a co-worker about birth control. Ten minutes later, I went to my sent e-mails to copy and reuse an old e-mail and realized I had sent "I tried calling you but your birth control is not working" to a student. It was supposed to say "voicemail". FML
Today, I had an emergency appendectomy, so I texted my boss to let him know about the situation. He replied that it'd be good for my continued employment prospects if I came into work tomorrow. FML
Today, I accidentally sent a text message meant for my best friend to my boss. The text was about how much I hated my job and my boss's constant micromanagement. FML
Today, my phone went off, reminding me to take my birth control. Instead of vibrating as per usual, it rang. The ringtone had been changed to my boyfriend singing "It's birth control time, birth control time, take your pill, or I'll say it ain't mine." I was sitting in a quiet waiting room. FML
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, my doctor's office called to reschedule. I hate sacrificing work time at all, but I have to have my contraceptive. The appointment had been set back once already due to insurance issues, and having to wait until November means I'm going to run out… so now I sound like a drug addict. FML
Today, I was texting my mom about a surprise visit, and autocorrect changed "surprise" to "surgery." I hit send before noticing, and now she thinks I’m planning some major medical procedure, and has been calling me nonstop to check if I’m OK. FML
Today, I went to the health department to get on some birth control. I left the health department without birth control, and with the news that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, after getting rear ended by a car, I texted my husband to let him know I was in the hospital. His response? "I'm at Taco Bell." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don’t see how that would keep you from getting a raise. You’re being responsible. Plus this totally lets your boss know you won’t be taking maternity leave any time soon and therefore can get a raise and not bail a few months later.

what does a wrong text have to do with your work performance? besides, an insurance question would be the least embarassing thing to accidentally send your boss!

What does you wanting to know whether or not Birth Control is cover by your insurance have to do with you getting a raise? **** your boss

Assuming that the OP's boss is male, she can follow the advice in your last sentence without worrying about getting pregnant. And she might even get that raise after all.

At first I was thinking this was because you're planning on getting pregnant, but you're actually planning on the opposite. So it's just an awkward text accident. Shouldn't be a big deal.

Assuming your Insurance is through your workplace, this wouldn't be an entirely unusual thing to ask your boss, even if he's not very likely to actually know the answer.

You actually have a better chance of getting that raise now that he has proof you aren't going to get pregnant and quit in a year.

On the bright side, you likely asked the right perso, ,and now your boss will know that you would rather work hard than have kids.

I still have no idea how all these people keep sending texts and pics to the wrong people by "accident" ???!!!??? Any way Joe, I need to get back to work before the troll stops by my office.

I think your boss might be thinking of a different kind of raise now....
