Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML
Today, someone tried to scam me by selling me a ticket to a Chris Cornell concert. FML
Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML
Today, I woke up to a voicemail from my manager saying I had the day off. Excited, I made plans with my friends. A few minutes ago I got a call from my other manager yelling at me for not showing up, and the original manager revealed he had me confused with another girl. FML
Today, I remembered that the concert I bought tickets for over a month in advance was yesterday. FML
Today, I was supposed to be going to Edinburgh to see my favourite band live. I was expecting to be picked up at 8 a.m. for the drive there, but I woke up to a text saying my friend bought tickets for the wrong city. The show he paid was for 2 days ago. FML
Today, I found out the time I'd requested off for a trip in 2 months, that my boss said that I could go on, wasn't fully processed, just in case he decided I couldn't go. He told me the second part after I'd bought no refund tickets for shows for both me and my girlfriend. FML
Today, I drove 150 miles to see one of my favorite singers in concert. Before I got out of the car I checked to make sure I had the tickets. Did I have the tickets? Yes. Were they for today's concert? Nope. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML
Today, I treated my out of town family to a surprise opera experience as a belated Christmas present. When we arrived, there were people already in our seats. Upon checking the tickets, I realized that I had purchased them for the following Friday instead of today. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He can "expect" the payment all he likes, but if it was up to me he'd be very disappointed! How can he expect you to pay for something you're not going to get? He's an idiot and you will be too if you pay him. Hope you get it sorted ok, mustbe difficult having a jerk for a boss. FYL

Perhaps he meant that the manager would not give the money back?

The manager sold the concert tickets to someone else, but he still expects the OP to pay him for the tickets that he never got or will get.

he can't force you to pay. and if he doesn't give the money back (if you already paid him) you can press charges. this isn't really an fml, more so a minor inconvenience

is your job involved in politics? if so then of course he wants to steal your money.

#75 The presence of the words "the night before" at the end of the first sentence implies that the manager sold the tickets to the person the previous night, probably told the OP he'd get them the next day. Next day comes around, no tickets, but he still wants money. At least, that's how I interpret it.

79, you do know that the site was created to post the things that ruin your day, right? it says that on the website. It does not have to be something that literally "***** your life."

I would only pay him if he gives you the tickets. Other wise he can go f*ck himself. NO Product= NO payment.

i'd say it's an fml if it causes unnecessary workplace tension, which it very well may, considering it's the OP's manager. |the kid|

Why would your boss expect YOU to pay? Tell him you don't have to pay for something you didn't get.

Simple, don't pay. If he tries to take you to small claims court then make sure to print the ad, the online receipt, and that e-mail. If you don't have a receipt, then have your bank statements ready. He's not gonna get anything except humiliation. Don't worry, you'll be fine.
